Don't understand the last bit of the above, but as you were on for the Barnet match, there were only approximately 400 in the Clayton End today, therefore enough room for the necessary seating and room for you to stand as well. All seating that is put in has to be undercover by league regulations which is why the Hollands Pie stand (away end) cannot have seating put in. The other alternative (which is a non starter) is to build a new stand, which the club clearly have not got the money for. Cue very rich Arab sheikh to take pity on us and buy Eric out lol

Re: Please Read; The Seats The Facts!!
I just meant that the seats could go at either side from top to bottom, rather than along the front for 4 - 5 (or what is needed) rows, which then means the people that stand front rows nearest to the pitch have to move back into what is in my opinion not as good a spot - if if was then we would stand there now.

Re: Please Read; The Seats The Facts!!
seating at the ends would restrict the sittee's view of the the same end opposite corner. There are regulations to say that the sittee must have as unobstructed a view as structurally possible (I think). Not that it matters cos nobody will be sat on them.
The club really needs to think its strategy on filling those seats for next season. They simply must give tickets out to all schoolchildren in the borough on a regular basis.

I believe the first 2000 seats have to be undercover after that you can put them where you like i.e. Stockport.

Did not realise that Macca!

If that is it then not much we can do, I suppose that will apply to putting them at the back, which one chap suggested to me at the Barnet game.

Gents... I really am with you all here but we knew the rules we would need to conform to the day we won the Conferance... i appreciate that it has already been said in previous post.
Re The BLUE Seats... they will be great for draping your banners and flags over and if they are fitted i will challenge the ultra's to cover the blue entirely... making behind the goal a sea of RED. Lets turn the seats we dont want or need into our advantage (Why not) ... but we all need to accept the fact they are essential to conform to the rules and thus retain our league status (quo) great band....

Re: Please Read; The Seats The Facts!!
from the Telegraph
Stanley hope to start work on Monday to install more seating at the Fraser Eagle Stadium and expect it to be finished within six weeks.

They aren't installing chesterfields macca. Just your normal crappy, fold-up plastic seats.
