Vale Park stadium improvements

Big cup ties are easy make the games all ticket with reserved seating using the current priority system. By then we should have had a safety inspection after the current work has been completed. So in my mind except for the old family stand and Hamil side of Lorne St we should be back to full capacity.

Does the railway stand & paddock still have portaloos as toilets

I would think so unless permanent ones can be built before the 3rd round.

Would it not be easier to just start removing seats at this point, or would our revised capacity end up just being a percentage of however many seats there are remaining?
Nothing about Vale Park any more makes much sense.

I think the rules are different for stadiums of less than 10,000 capacity. But otherwise the % rule could apply.

So that could be why the capacity is lower in the paddock & stand know proper toilets.

Reducing Hamil from was it 4000 to 3250 is about 19 grand in admission price alone.

Bolton,Derby,Wednesday maybe odd other . We could lose heading towards 100k in revenue .

How many have Bolton asked for? Derby likely to ask for more, would they accept reserved tickets?

Score board was funny Sat. Kept freezing and needing a re-boot. Had the score as 1-1 when we were 2-1 up for about 15 minutes. First trip down the Vale for about five years. And to be honest just seemed same old same old.  But enjoyed the game, which is what matters at the end of the day.

Perhaps it's also for footballing purposes, less away fans means less of an advantage for the away team?

Well I have been on their forum using the link Rob put on. They took 1500 to Ipswich granted it was opening day but there were no trains.

Other than Vale all early aways are along the lines of Plymouth, Pompey and I think it was FGR and Cheltenham where they'll get little to no tickets. 

So the concensus on the forum was they'll bring a really big following here.

To be fair 3250 is great but it's sadly lost revenue for us with reduced capacity

It's probably to do with where they put the nets up to stop fans being to close to the home fans and the pitch. So it maybe a police request or the club trying to keep the police bill down.

What is the point of 4,000 seats if they can never all be filled up. May as well rip them out.

"Same old same old"

Really? 🤔🤔

So the club is spending tens of thousands on ground improvements and to try and get the capacity raised, and it gets reduced.

could only happen to us.

Hundreds of thousands, and I imagine it would have reduced even further if it wasn’t for that investment, even possible stand closures. We are paying for 20 years of neglect. Rome wasn’t build in a day, and we are on an upwards trajectory. By the start of next season with hopefully the other half of the Lorne Street opened as a family stand and the Hamil as a Vale end, we will be looking a lot better.

I don't understand why we need to be concerned about increasing the capacity of the stadium. We couldn't even sell out for the Swindon play off semi final the biggest home game for a generation.
