So Leicester are having 1030 fans across the Bisley & South Stand. What is the capacity for the remainder of the stadium, including the North Terrace if open?

North Terrace IS open..............7250 is about the capacity I believe

6000 home tickets, that's the capacity we are allowed so that Leicester have 15%.

....so 6867 is the highest gate we can get, even if it sells out, of which 15% (1030) will be Leicester fans, who have already sold their 1030 allocation.
Is that right?.... so it cant be a sell out in terms of football capacity in any event, due to the number of tickets made available to Leicester?

The 15% isn’t cast in stone, it’s as close as you can safely accommodate, it can be over or under as long as it doesn’t compromise safety

Best data I can find is 1030 Leicester, up to 6000 for us

Better make the most of our big gate on Sunday ..Will be back to around 2,500 going forward .

Back to 2,500? when did we last average that?

I thought that the capacity for football was 7,800 and about 9,500 for rugby. The apparent shortfall against this number may be accounted for by capacity taken up by the BBC for camera positions etc.but the difference at about 1,000 is big.

I'm not complaining but it does show that claims that moving to RP would give us a championship standard ground were OTT. Not forgetting that we had 5,100 capacity at Newport Stadium.

I always understood the capacity breakdown to be something LIKE the following:

Bisley Stand..........................2389
Hazell Stand & Terrace.........2500
North Terrace........................1500
AWAY FANS..........................1250
Segregation.............................100
TOTAL....................................7739

Bisley holds about 2,600 in total so take off about 100 for segregation and 500 away fans leaves about 2,000 home fans. 500 away fans in south stand. Hazell stand holds about 2,000. Not sure on the terrace capacities.

Bisley home 2,000
Segregation 100
Bisley away 500
South away 500
Hazell stand 2,000
Hazell terrace 1,400 ?
North terrace 1,400 ?
Total 7,800 ish ?

I could be misinformed but I believe the combined total of the bisley away section plus the 2 syntner south stands amounts to 1300, but of course that is 15% of nearly 9,000, which would have to be met by an additional temporary stand as per spurs game, So i'm assuming the small south stand will not be used,
