Just had a walk around the South Stand, plenty of activity, looked like there were lots of contractors in there.

Top man! Cheers.
IIRC they said the the expansion would add 6,250 seats. Together with the pitchside seats say 1,500 then the small number added to the south ends of the CB and Kippax -
say 400 x 2 = the extra seats should total - = 8,550. Somebody will no doubt give the correct numbers.

Look at the first pic - 2nd tier central block under the stadium signage. Have they filled in the walkway with seats??So.... that black matting where the players warm up has been covered by @dessosports synthetic grass. South Stand's true size felt from the pitch.
Markings also now on the pitch

I did a check on the 3d planner so not the final numbers but it looked something like this.
5988 3rd tier SS
150x2 extra bits on the CB ES
1490 front 3 rows
The above will change as the front 3 rows only contained the north, south and east stand so the CB stand is extra on top of this (guessing 500 seats). Then the new segregation has to be taken off as well (another guess of 500 seats)
so a decent guess would be 7788.

It will easily be this and I suspect slightly bigger. Looking at least 61500 after NS expansion as well

Went down an hour ago. Downpipes in corner make it look worse. Corners and join with the East and west is not the best but sure it will look great inside. I am sure it will pass the test event but it will not be ready 100 percent that much is certain. Can see works going on for another couple of months.

thinking forward we would need 20 extra rows on the cb and es to get to 78,000 with the corners filled in. I don't know if there is room for this amount though

The rake of the East and west is different to south 3rd tier so there will always be some gap. Really want us to average 53k plus this season so the north stand happens.

surely we would? boxing day game vs sunderland I hope we would get 53/54k. Midweek game against leicester/bournemouth (just as an example) we should get 53k tbh. Hope this new ticket exchange may help more than vianogo

I would think we will get 53k v Chelsea due to holidays. 55k vs rags. Spurs, Everton, Sunderland and between 49 and 52k for all the others.
