Only a few seats left. Looks likely to be sold out.

 

Saints' average home league gates in the top flight at St Mary's:

 

2016/17 30,936

2015/16 30,751

2014/15 30,741

2013/14 30,212

2012/13 30,874

2004/05 30,610

2003/04 31,699

2002/03 30,680

2001/02 30,633

 

At the Dell:

2000/01 15,115

1999/00 15.132

1998/99 15,140

1997/98 15,159

1996/97 15,099

1995/96 14,820

1994/95 14,685

1993/94 14,751

1992/93 15,382

 

Some in the think small brigade would have said there was no need for a bigger stadium because we couldn't fill the Dell every game in 1993 and 1994. They're saying the same now because there aren't tens of thousands locked out every game. An upper tier on the Kingsland, taking the capacity up to 38,000, would be filled, just the same as St Mary's was.

I'd love a stadium expansion, especially looking from an architectural perspective however those figures just go to show that our stadium is the perfect size right now. Give it another decade and our circumstances may justify it.

 

Really? In that case, you could argue that those figures showed the Dell was the perfect size. With your logic, we'd still be stuck at the Dell, with a 15,000 capacity.

You want a stadum you can sell-out. Besides, the majority of games last season still had seats in the chapel itchen corner so the capacity is fine to me. We need to be selling out games other than the ones against top 6 and first/last game.

I'm in the expansion camp, under the premise you can't grow if you have no room to grow! The problem is does the cost out-way the benefit. If it is going to cost £50/60 million to add 10k seats, most would suggest it does. I reckon it may take another FA bid for a world cup for it to happen!!

I am pleasantly surprised about this

 

Assumed we would be down about 4,000 on our season ticket sales and thought the issues re VVD, general lack of entertainment at home games last season and no big name signings would have restricted the crowd to below 30,000

 

Good news if we exceed 30,000

As opposed to watching your team with a new manager at the start of a new season?
