Nice to see we won't be looking to make the same mistakes again next time!

Hopefully the matches with the Gargs and/or Greeks will be on Boxing day/Bank holidays, which should mean a good attendance, all-ticket or not. If any of the matches are non-Bank holiday mid-week ones we will struggle to sell tickets and lose out.

On reading the article it would be safe to assume that the ground capacity of 6200 will never be reached, if the capacity is to be cut in accordance with the attractiveness of the game.
I would suggest the following ;
vs Exeter 3000
vs Plymouth 2000
vs Man U 1000
vs Barcelona 137
I.M.O. cutting the capacity for popular games suggests that the Stewards, Safety team, club management & Police are not up to the job.

There is no logical reason why an all ticket match should reduce the attendance in the 21st Century. You can buy your ticket online, over the phone or whilst at Plainmoor, and can have the tickets posted to you or collect them on the day.
I know it does have an impact, but there is nothing else the Club can do. Those that want to attend can easily get a ticket.

Capacity 6,200. So building the Bench has increased it by...100. There were definite sugestions it would be approaching 7,000 when that work was completed. Wonder where those extra numbers disappeared to?

Didnt replacement of the seats in the family stand with ones a bit wider and a bit more leg room cut the capacity ? Theres also the enclosure bit in front of the old stand gone too. Not sure if that accounts for all the "missing" number

as usual, all ticket matches will put 500 people off attending
