North Stand expansion - seating, ticketing etc

[Gone for a Burton]

I'm in the East Stand Level 2 a few yards forward of the corner flag. I get sweaty palms just looking up at the top of the North Stand. Is the seating higher than the South Stand or is it an optical illusion?

It an Opilictical confusion.

When rail seating was introduced there was a limit of 3,000 so it may not be possible to increase those seats if we have persistent standing. However, rail seats have been shown to be safe so the permitted number may have increased.
Would it be possible to get those who prefer to sit into CB1, CB3, East1 and East2, with those who want to stand and sing in the two ends? Solves some problems but the side stands tend to be more expensive and where does it leave those of us who will happily sit and sing? Also, many fans prefer the view from the side and not just because it has echoes of the Kippax.
Finally a quick question: Does anybody know how far the back of the extended stand will be from the pitch? Are we talking top shelf at Newcastle type distances or "in a different postcode" as seen at West Ham.

Wonderfull views of Werneth Low, the south pennines and the early leavers.....and its live !!
