From where I was stood in the WRE you could see the odd safety barrier in the Railway end and far corner of the Princess street near the score board.
11,750 maybe but 12,500 not in this day and age. I too have been in some serious packed houses but we've got to be sensible and think about wellbeing over pound notes.
On the back of last nights' 11,235 getting another 1200+ would be optimistic and bordering unsafe. Once capacity is met on the stand you could cordon it off obviously at the head stewards discretion and monitor footfall

You could barely move in the WRE - packed in like sardines. Good atmosphere, but don't think I would have liked a few more thousand in there!!

It was Beth - rather cosy indeed! though maybe spots around the stadium wasn't quite as bad as the WRE terracing. But it was certainly "snug"Beth wrote:You could barely move in the WRE - packed in like sardines. Good atmosphere, but don't think I would have liked a few more thousand in there!!

Not near me greenhouse.
Maybe on the railway end, where I was stood it was shoulder to shoulder.

I stood in my usual spot in the Princess ST stand towards Weldon Rd plenty of room round me, getting into the toilets at half time was a different story

I agree with Max and Paddy.
Crowd size is important of course.
But the emotional attachment to the Old Girl and the experiences we have had also add another dimension

It's got some soul , hate new grounds built like industrial unit tin sheds....
Understand the corporate side and we're getting a free ground etc. But it will not be the same.
Makes the timing even more important of this special team.
