I was under the impression the stadium capacity had been reduced to 15,000 but the new application shows 20,000???

And still no mention of a standing area. An absolute MUST!

Isn't this where the 15'000 & 20'000 capacity comes from, 15'000 seats and 5'000 standing?

I heard that there will be two standing areas!!!

I have always enjoyed standing at matches but have recently found that sitting is much easier with 2 children under the age of 4. At the Willows we have a family stand which is a free seated area (albeit behind the away supporters; major flaw I believe but hey ho!)

My question is this. When we move to Barton are the ticket prices going to be different for those who wish to sit down? I fully understand all of you who want to remain on your feet and your calls for the standing area are fine by me. But I would be a bit miffed if the current situation where I can choose to stand or sit at no extra cost was taken away just because it's a new ground!

Anybody managed to take any pics since the fencing has been errected?

You're privileged that The Willows operates this policy for the North Stand. It's generally the case that seating is slightly more expensive than standing (ground admission) where available. You'd have to expect to pay between £1-5 more per seat. To be honest, I wouldn't mind paying the same price as the lowest priced seat to stand.

The reasons behind this could be that seats cost more to maintain or they that were always seen as the luxury option before Hillsborough. It may be more likely that the pricing is a hangover from 110 years ago, when Archibald Leitch — architect of many football grounds of the time — devised a formula that for every person which sat, two could stand; therefore, the seated would pay a premium. That mantra doesn't really apply today but you can see why many stadia still tier its pricing in such a way.
