Are they the confirmed figures?

I would have thought that the West holds more than 1800, if the North holds 3000.

I would hope not with Ellis saying last week on the radio we would get the 7.5k for the Bradford game

I am sure I read somewhere its around 7,300?

Just over 7000 according to a comment on the Train Facebook site. Probably something like this at the moment
2600 East Stand
1700 Western Terrace
3000 North Stand

The North terrace held about 6k I believe before the recent work was carried out. At the moment it's significantly lower than what it was. Obviously the Western Terrace could hold a lot more if the boxes were disposed of the rear part terraced but we all know the owner is looking at both these areas

I'm sure Ellis mentioned it was about 7,500.

Sure we will find out when the attendance is announced friday!

Regardless of the actual capacity, Its a great achievement to sell out the fixture.
After the season that we had last year, to generate this level of interest is superb.
Well done to all involved and let's hope we can kick off our league campaign with a win !

I really hope so. Historically we have fallen short at home in these games where the crowds turn up.

A win Friday will go a long way to convincing some fans on the fence to commit to season tickets or return for the next home game.

That's the most important bit for me...
...Although I will be returning regardless....

There's an interesting NSC article from Mar 2023 about the Belle Vue Stadium redevelopment
(presumably written before last year's delays on the New Stand)

Refurbishment of the North Stand to increase capacity from 1500 up to 3500.
Overall, the completion of the work will increase the stadium’s capacity from its current 7258 up to 8866.[/i

Last season the capacity was 4710.
So if all that's changed is the New East Stand, then the capacity should be about 7300.

Assuming the article was written before the delays, then a figure of 7258 could be the exact current capacity.
The article implies extra work will raise the capacity by another 1608.
But that doesn't quite tally with then saying "[iRefurbishment of the North Stand to increase capacity from 1500 up to 3500[/i."

I've also no idea what the capacity is of the South Stand/boxes, but I would assume it's a few 100. So we need to knock that off the North/West terrace figures?

Ah, that's what I saw......
A pity then I can't read or count.....

Club-shop Daz replied on FB yesterday saying the capacity was "just over 7000".

So you seem to be about right.

As will I but this is the best opportunity to pull back some fans on the fence.

And yet the Cas death trap has an alleged 13000 capacity, presumably both limits defined by Wakefield MDC.
Go figure!!

Is WR really 13k??

Where would you put them?

Looking forward to this game . First league match of the season, weather should be ok hopefully a good night.
