Going off topic slightly - Has anyone actually seen the Broomhandle Mauser sober? Saw him ballooned again at Quins! 
Back on topic - how will the stadium work affect the turnstiles to the South? Only the West side open? |

For those speculating about other possible expansions, this is fairly recent (last December):
www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/new ... s_Stadium/
Interestingly, looks like the plan to fill the corners in advanced pretty quickly as this was said at that time:
"We could also fill in the corners but you have to be creative in how you do that"
Rather than extra terracing on the South, looks like this is more favoured:
"we could put lounges and seating above the standing area in the South Stand. That’s expensive, but it can be done because I’ve got the drawings" - i.e. making the top of it look a bit like the top of the North / East.
There certainly is a large space above the South concourse - you can see it if you look up whilst standing near the kiosks as the ceiling has been removed. |

Lets not get carried away with expansions yet, we need to be filling 15,000 every week before we expand to 18,000.
There's no point having empty seats. We didn't make 12,000 in 8 of our 10 games so far this year, but i can see a full house with Wigan in town in a few weeks. We've got Bradford, Wakefield and Wigin left and Bradford and Wakey won't bring all that many. I personally don't see the point in expanding when we're not making 12,000 in 10 of our 13 SL home games.
We had Wigin, Swinton and Keighley in't CC and only one of those games reached over 12,000. Not good enough to expand IMO.

yet weve had at least 10,000 in every single league game i think, and the reason it hasnt sold out is purely down to the lack of away numbers. i would bet that only wigan and saints bring at least 1,000 and they are the two fixtures that sell out. the next best is probably hull kr with about 7-800, the rest probably below 500. poor away following is a big factor. the nort east and south are pretty much full every game. |

Yes, your correct. Only Crusaders we had an attendance lower than 10,00 and that was something like 9,900.
But I honestly think we've expanded too early. But maybe they're expecting a serge in supporters when we win the GF  |

It probably wont. The NE corner is being done first and by the time they get round to the SE the season will be over.
As for why are we expanding when we dont fill, and average gates only etc etc. If you follow that mentality why did we move to a new stadium with a capacity over 5000!

you maybe correct that its too early, time will tell. however, our crowds are on the up and have been over the last few years, so assuming that continues and we have more success then it will be the correct decision. also, i believe we will sell out the 15,000 capacity for the wigan/saints games, big cup games, and even if it is only 2 or 3 times a year, it will be worth it. plus the club are obviously in a financial position to expand without needing sell outs every game, or they wouldnt be doing it. i honestly think that 13,000 is too small of a crowd for the wigan and saints games so even if its just those two that have 15,000, it will be worth it IMO.

Although we can't fill the stadium, filling in the corners it will helps attendances as the south stand is the most popular so by making more space in there it may attract supporters who may not want to sit down or be in the away end. Or if it doesn't attract more supporters we may have enough space to avoid the yellow lines |

| Our attendances are on the up, so only time will tell if we have made the correct decision or not.
The Yellow areas will be stood on the same as they are with the 1 announcer trying to move 1000 people from an area with a tannoy will never work  |

| Great to see you expanding the HJ stadium, as a Saints fan its one of my favourite away grounds already, I do love the atmosphere that terracing produces. Can't wait for you lot to visit our new place too. I am sure you will get allocated over 4.5k for your visits, should create a great atmosphere.  |

How many is it to hold?
I do hope we get 4.5k like you say because that would be sold out in no time.
I hope we get you 2nd'3rd game of season, because you lot won't loose your first game in a new stadium.

What state will the stadium be in for the Aus v NZ game? Seems a strange decision to plan an important international when major building work is going on.

Think we need to push the capacity to over 25k, gotta be able to fit all these wigan fans in, already for this semi final over 5k have been snapped up in less than 4 days....how impressive is that.
