How many additional seats could be put in the Bob Lord & Cricket field stand were they to remove all the wooden ones and replace with standard plastic seats?
This is far too simplistic a view, and simply trying to shoehorn more fans in, whilst existing infrastructure isnt up to scratch as it is, is symptomatic of the short termism we have seen employed all too often over the past 20 years.
Safe standing may be on the horizon, which will increase capacity in the CFS, but concerns have already been raised re safety on the concourses, without adding hundreds more fans.
The CFS needs knocking down, and a single tier stand probably not unlike what is at Fulham thrown up in its place. It doesn’t need to be fancy. And a single tier on the BL, too.
In the cold light of day, the Turf is a bit of a mess, because we’ve had no long term plan in place. The whole ground needs realigning and shifting to the north. We have all that space behind the Longside, but then nothing to work with when it comes to the BL and CFS.
