FWIW Dunkirk the day you are struggling to get a seat more or less where you want will be the day we’ve cracked it as a club.

The old stand held 1200 and I can count on one hand the number of times that was ever tested in recent times.

The new stand holds 2600, all of which are unrestricted viewing. Of those 2600 I reckon at least 1200 fall between the centre line and 30 meter line with all but the first few front rows no having an elevation equal to the old stand.

So I know you were being a bit tongue in cheek but how full the new east stand gets will be the ultimate barometer of how well we are doing.

For significant parts of the clubs history the whole average match day crowd could fit in the new east stand.

With you. Sadly that option is gone. So north stand or take a seat.

Personally I’ve decided to go seating next season for the first time ever and tbh I’m ready for it.

Can you request a move if you’re sat near an obnoxious twit

I’ve been in northstand for 25 years as a fan. I’m seriously thinking of moving to the new stand when built. If we could fill it and make it a true home stand it would be hugely beneficial to the club no doubt. Also seems silly to have a state of the art facility and not use it as a fan.

I actually posted the other day on the Facebook pages, about the old south stand, seeing what people's memories of it were, and if people had any old photos of it. It was knocked down before I started going, and sadly my Dad is no longer with us. It did look and sound quote impressive.

I do agree though, that if gates do go up, it is something we need to look at. Like I've said in the past, Rome wasn't built in a day, and like (my supposed other team) I think its taken Hull KR 30 years to develop Craven Park. I'm sure when they moved there in about 1990, there was only one stand.

You mean on the North Terrace?

Back in the day I was usually one of the yobs in the South Stand, then migrated to North Terrace when south area was cleared, then moved to southern end of Western Terrace until we got cleared for the away fans. Have been in North Stand since it was built.
Hate sitting down for the games.

Sorry I mean the new east stand when built. I’m happy to be part of new era at trinity and help fill out all 2500 seats with home fans. Should be a fantastic atmosphere if we can fill it week in week out.

When I first started going I think around 96/97 for as long as I can remember we have been in the northstand. I remember the atmosphere being much louder than it is recent years too and fans with better singing voices lol.

Think we sat in the east stand for 1/2 seasons but then ended up back in north stand.

You did have to pay to get in the South Stand via turnstiles at the back but there was a special free entry via the toilet block if you had thick skin on the palms of your hand.

Saw that the footings had been dug last week, concrete poured means steel isn't too far behind. Also saw scaffokd around the big screen area on Saturday.

Very exciting.
