Heard today that only 350 tickets sold to Saints fans. Very disappointing when Matt was looking to another sell-out. In his interview with Martyn Sadler he made it clear that continuous full houses could determine the extent of ground expansion.
I thought that Matt said he would look at increasing capacity in the North Stand first as that's where the increase of support would be???
I don’t recall him saying he would look at any option first and discussed both in their own right and what they would offer.
The west would only increase by 2-300 or so I think he said but it is needed. I do suspect that will be the next to be completed which would take us to 9.5k. I’d suspect then if we are regularly getting 9k + he would look to do the north in 2026 off season as that’s a big multi million pound investment for extra 1,700 + extra facilities it will bring.
I still think some away fans stay away due to the west although it has seen improvements. A roof, new barriers, fixing up the terracing and the planned refreshment stand would likely see more away fans and probably home ST sales for the west.
Whichever he goes with will improve the stadium and experience.
