Don't forget there's another full length crush barrier going in half way up the terracing which will push the capacity up.

I’m sure I’ve seen it’ll be around 6,500 total capacity. Not sure how true though and couldn’t guess at the capacity for the holker end

Looking like a proper football ground again. Incredible achievement in such a short time. Kudos to everyone who's made it happen.

From the outside it looks quite a bit higher compared to the old Holker End!. It looks really great.

Think i was told 6,200 because having a new covered stand ups the capacity! Don't ask me why. How many seats will go into the Holker St End? Think this is because away fans require a separate covered seated section. Thing is we will be a three sided ground because of FA rules as nobody can stand at the cross bar end. We also have that problem area between the main stand and the crossbar end where you can stand but cant really see because of the main stand. Presume that problem will be solved when they extend the main stand hopefully next year.

100 seats in away end. Stadium Solutions doing it.

Where are the away supporters being housed next season? I’ve heard one or two theories but can’t say I’ve seen anything official.

Same corner as previous but the away seats will be at the end of the HSE and not the main stand

We all live at the back of holker street!

Cheers Adam, I’ve seen seats there before; when the main stand was under construction l think. Can’t see it being a great view as the seated supporters look to their left.

To be fair the way its going should have temp seated the whole thing for a year. I can only see limited capacity games all year myself the way its going

Can’t see anyone not stood at the front having a good view. Will be very disappointed if I have half a million stancheons in my view of Quigley banging goals left right and centre

Doom and gloom, we will never be allowed back in and if we are we wont see anything … we are doomed …

Think it looks great personally well done

It’s really not that bad, the pictures taken from either end are making it look like a load of obstacles are in the way but when I’ve stood there it’s not a problem, as a matter of fact I’ve not heard anyone say any different - it’s absolutely fine.

If Quigley is banging in goals left, right and centre this coming season, I don't give a monkeys if I can't see them going in.
