120 seats are going in the first two sections of the HSE, 60 per section. As I understand it this brings up (and possibly a little over) the 1000 seats in total needed by the end of this season.

There are (I think) twelve sections to the HSE, two with the new seats and the equivalent of one section with barriers and yellow paint leaving nine to install more seats in the way you suggest. Nine sixties are 540 so with the main stand as at present that leaves us, say 400 short. Where do they go?

Don't forget a seated place takes more room than a standing place so more seats in existing spectator standing space reduces total ground capacity which had to be 4000 by the end of this season and will need to be 5000 in two years time.

When the main stand was made the capacity was about 1030;- this got reduced slightly later when a wall was put around the directors seating area and the front row of the block with the letter B in it was removed. This took the number slightly under 1000. The number had to be over 1000 to get into the EFL - so the row on the B was re-installed to achieve this. This means you are incorrect in your understanding on the seat numbers.

Is this an official club statement?
