Not sure if asked, apologies if it has.
Is the Hotel and fanzone due to open at the same time as the stand?

Me bloody seats gone! Reckon they should put rail seats without the rails in while they’re at it, safe standing would sort out those god awful empties

Yeah :) obviously I mean the infrastructure, there are systems that can be implemented, and the rails slotted in at a later date

Excuse me if this is a stupid question , how do rail seats increase capacity ! They look like a standard seat with a rail in front ???

Not sure anyone claimed they increase capacity.

Don’t Dortmund have a 1 to 1.5 ratio on the yellow wall for league games ? I believe that’s where any potential increase comes from, won’t happen in this country

Think I got this from Dortmund as this was why the “yellow wall” held so many fans ! If they don’t increase capacity seem pretty pointless to me , maybe cos I’m an old fart ! ;-)
