Steaua crowd next week

In response to the issue of opening CB3 near to the game being played, I disagree that some fans could have been put off. If I wanted to go to the game I'd take any seat, even if it was in the corner.
 
Don't think empty seats had much to do with L3 being closed until now. Why get stewards and catering staff in for those levels if we can fit them all in L1 and L2?

Because you enable people to sit in their preferred area of the stadium - which in turn should help sell more tickets. If you're a regular and you sit with your mates, it gets really irritating being moved to the other side of the ground next to people you don't know. If you're someone who comes every once in a while and likes sitting on the lower tier, you might not be able to get seats there now because someone wants to move up to level 3 has been left there.

The money involved in staffing 2 extra tiers in the ground is so tiny and unimportant to the club that it would be a rubbish excuse to close them based on that.

I think its quite sensible....early rounds we ain't selling out ( no where near in fact), so why not only open half the ground??. Were in ss3 and get moved together wiv friends to same seats in level 2 every game. No hassle at all. Any crowd near 35000 will be fantastic imo

The capacity without those two tiers is 55,000. Minus 5,500 minus 6,000. Minus 1,000 for the empty away end (lower tier) Then estimate how full rest of ground was - bottom two tiers were almost sold out - down to singles, then add on the fans that were in WL3, and SL3. I'l'll be surprised if its far from 42k.

Excellent crowd given we were 5-0 up, TV coverage etc.

Just don't get the obsession with our gates?

Always been proud of our support. It's a barometer of the size of a club. Perhaps less so than it was. There was a time when in my opinion the answer to the age old question how big a club you are was how big your crowds are in comparison to your success. Therefore the best fans: MCFC, Sunderland, and Newcastle
