What will the away end capacity be now , and how many teams will fill it?

I believe the away capacity will be around 950. As for the number of teams filling it I would say around half a dozen. Wrexham, Stockport, Notts County, Bradford, possibly Grimsby who travel in good numbers given the size of the club. Tranmere should they be having a good season.

Sutton Harrogate and also Salford you’d imagine

Plus in the EFL you're only one win in the EFL Cup or two in the FA Cup away from potentially getting a PL team whose fans would see it as a great opportunity to knock off a ground they'd never otherwise go to. Even League 1 has some pretty big teams some of the time that could probably bring 950 (especially in the FA Cup on a Saturday).

It’s best to have it when not needed than to need it & not have it…..Several teams will fill it per season & any decent cup games, Plus it’s a requirement.

No chance. Sutton's average home gate was 3,265, Salford's was 2,876 and Harrogate's 2,296. You might get a decent attendance from Swindon or Mansfield if they've got something riding on the game (particularly the latter, given the geography and it being the last game of the season).

WHOOSH

Would think Morecambe would bring a few.

If history is anything to go by, it would most definitely be 'a few'!

Seriously though, times have changed and even with Morecambe potentially heading towards 'basket-case' status, am sure their fans will give us a reasonable away attendance.

Guess we will soon find out who will bring the most

Yes, not long to go now.

Give over. The season is light years away. We haven't even had an opportunity to incur a few season long injuries in pre-season yet.

Didn't Salford manage to bring about 50 last season?

Embarrassing.

Taken this morning on my visit to Barrow.

Looking great already

I’m more impressed by the fact we’ve got people working on a Saturday

Massive improvements being made, Help finance it with your support of the Trust fundraising schemes & buy more club merch etc etc

Great to see it rising, #ProudBluebird
