Interesting. I'm guessing that will push capacity to 56k+ and then 62k+ when the North Stand is extended.

No on with it now

But from description not the two blocks adjacent to dig outs so site lines not impacted

Thanks!
I wonder if that takes us over 56,000. By my reckoning we'll be adding 9,000 extra seats over the Summer:

6,000 in SL3. 500 in EL3 & WL3, & 2,500 at front of all 4 stands. Might have exaggerated the 2500 at front of the 4 stands. There's also the unknown of how many seats were lost in the build. Capacity went down to 46,700 at start of season, but some seats eg at back of South Stand were recovered at the end of the season.
