Quote: JB Down Under "East stand has to be a priority. With the extension we could be attracting an extra 1500 to the game (new fans who want the experience of being in the East but don't want to sit in the Nth stand with no cover). A better away fans stand would maybe bring in another 3-400 away fans on average. The away support at the KC is probably only 500 more than come to CP and for a few times is probably not much different and for at least 3 teams is no different.
The money needs to be spent where best return will be and that is the east stand. Getting an extra 1500 will basically pay for teh East stand within 2 seasons.
It was also take the couple of hundred Rovers fans that currently frequent the Nth stand because they can't get in the East and leave the Nth stand for away fans only. Get a temporary roofing structure in teh Nth stand, improve the toilets and food for that stand and everyones happy.'"
I'd be amazed if 1500 people don't go to games just because they can't stand in the east stand.
Don't bother with the away fans, the turnouts at the KC are usually pish poor and if it's not your facilities they use as an excuse it will be the intimidation, roadworks on the M62, their neighbour's cat dying or some other excuse. They're just used to travelling 20 minutes or so to away games and don't like the journey
Anyway, I hear 2 bogs prescott is going to furnish the toilet facilities when the new stand is built
