Jesus, that is a hell of a distance. Didn't think it would be that bad

Good luck to any fans throwing shit at the players there.

Lets not forget that photo will have been taken with a wide angled lens so the view will be exaggerated.

Still pretty bad like

and they're going to be spending £97m on converting it once the games are over. Furthest seat is still going to be closer to the pitch than the furthest at wembley

Realistically now, what kind of attendances will WHU have, say if they are still in the Prem and sitting about midtable?

Depending on prices really, they can get 30,000 weekly at the moment at bottom of the league.

If the board keeps the promises they made when they took over, to "bring football back to the masses" and reduce ticket prices for all matches, then probably 40,000+?

And Danny, they have said that they will be spending near enough £100m on re-developing the stadium.

My guess would be that they'll have seating on the track, as there will probably only be a few events a year on it.

Personally i'd still love to see the track section as terracing, but that'll never happen as everyone would be instantly crushed to death whether in the standing area or not, because that's what happens when people stand
