Quote Greville="Greville"I agree that that's a lot of seats. Either they're going to have to attract some new fans or the existing fanbase will need to undergo a massive cultural shift to sit down (and pay the extra money to do so). I don't think I've ever seen Headingley completely full since the Carnegie opened. Always seems to be empty seats'"
It's not really a lot of seats though, it's up from 7,228 seats in the old stadium. An increase, yes, but hardly a huge one and especially when the club hopes some South Stand standing fans to take the opportunity to move to seats.
The seating areas sell out pretty regularly, as does corporate generally, at least in the good years. You'll always see empties when families of fans are away but that's different to them not being sold.
