why extend the east stand if your stadium hardly ever sells out?
I think that it is part of the ongoing plans to meet existing and future franchise requirements. I would imagine that Rover's business plan involves increasing the size of the crowds beyond the existing capacity (at least for some matches).
The extra capacity would give Rovers flexibility to have offers or giveaways to induce more paying customers long term. Just my thoughts mind.

There wouldn't be. If 3000+ Hull fans could stand together under cover then we'd fill it. You should vacate the east stand for the derny and let us fill that as well

I must of mis read it, I thought the north stand, or a percentage, was for the away fans?

so if it hold 3 thousand, is that correct?, a away side if they sell their allocated tickets should have 1500 in there?

hopefully it will get started asap then.

Part of the reason where not selling games out is the South stand. Other areas of the ground do regularly sell out. So extending those areas of the ground will increase attendances. The East stand sells out for every home game. I certainly know many fans who don't go to Rovers because they can't get in the East stand. If the stand sells out every week then logic says if you can extend it then do it.
