Mister Chops 7 Posted May 25, 2009 Well, St Mary''s has to be pretty massive I would have thought. And The Valley can hold a few, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted May 26, 2009 And to save time looking through the Wiki article:"Though the stadium can seat up to 25,500 people, the club is restricted to just 10,000 because of county and local planning regulations." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary_on_the Trent 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Bradford isn''t far off the Darlington stadium, as they rose through the leagues in the 90''s and reached the premiership the stadium was redeveloped with 2 masssive stands taking the capacity up to over 25k, they dwarf the 2 other stands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise why discuss them. Let''s think percy on this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Anyone got a list of average attendances in League 1 last season? If we''re second in the Championship (I think) we must blow the rest away this season.Thats if we reach 20k+ again every game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ndhscanary 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Looking at some of those ground sizes they must have pretty tiny allocations. I know I went to the withdean last time we played em and we hardly got any tickets. But if we do badly doubt away tickets will be in that high demand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Taylor 0 Posted May 27, 2009 MK Dongers ground is quite good actually. I went with a couple of mates who are Brighton fans this season. Of course it has no atmosphere as they have no songs of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted May 27, 2009 We ''only'' got 25500 or something like that as our highest attendance, can we actually fit 26k plus in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
