A friend of mine was one of about 3000 Woolwich fans that did the test event at the Emeriates.
Hmm, so average crowd then. That means we'll have to have 62,000 for ours.

Wembley is much bigger and further away, here's the West stand comparisons .... sorry don't have one for the South stand but the height difference will be the same .....
Not sure if it’s just the camera angle but this makes the north stand top tier seats seem really close to the pitch compared to the south stand.
I was hoping for seats in the 2nd level but don’t think I will have that option. Looks like they will offer a great view.
Don't take the piss!North stand level 2 has best pleb seats. I agree.
We wouldn't be able to get approval for many/any more seats because there isn't a sensible way to get that many people out of the ground and home safely at the same time until the transport is substantially further improved.Why did we decide to put screens in, instead of making the south stand even bigger? Seems to me we could have filled the space in with more seats, level with the east and west stands. Is it just that we don't need that many seats.
The curve of the seats being lower in the corners is nothing to do with the screens. It's an architectural necessity. The only way you could get seats to the same height as the middle part would be to make the stadium exterior a rectangle rather than a curved bowl.Why did we decide to put screens in, instead of making the south stand even bigger?

Have you ever considered turning up sober?
Multi screens actually don't look that bad and they do the job well!Why did we decide to put screens in, instead of making the south stand even bigger? Seems to me we could have filled the space in with more seats, level with the east and west stands. Is it just that we don't need that many seats.
Yup it's more than just the stadium I think Nikes slogan for our merch is "watch us rise" which makes sense.In this video you start to get a sense of this being a project that is greater than just the stadium. Obviously the stadium is the biggest part, but as well as being linked to lillywhite house there's also the huge club shop (what the hell are we going to stock it with?), the museum, hotel, residential stuff, medical center etc. And there's the climbing wall and all that kind of jazz to come yet. I think a lot of fans of other teams will come to a game next season not really expecting the scale of everything and will be proper in awe of us.
