Here’s a fact about BR I like to remind myself of when the results aren’t there…

Thanks to the tangerine community and the hope that SS brought to us after a long period of darkness, the stands are no longer covered in rust and the seats are free of bird poo.

 

[Wizaard]

Only six grounds with a bigger capacity than us this upcoming season

Hardly

I’m pro SS, but didn’t the fans clean the seats?

 

[Pool CW]

I love the place

I think the point is, no one was volunteering to go in and do anything with the previous incumbents.

 

[SouthernSeasider]

Home sweet home

A group of volunteers from BST still clean the seats regularly.
I guess it's a way to help/support the club for people with some spare time on their hands.

Barnsley
Derby
Portsmouth
Charlton
Bolton
Port Vale

 

[Shootz]

Just wiki'd it and it's 15,000. Used to be 20k in the 90's. Ah well 7/8 aint bad

It's not all they'll have on their hands.

Hence I said ‘thanks to the tangerine community’. Couldn’t have been more proud of the volunteers that did that.

And SS allowed them to- the previous owners didn’t.

 

[Trammo]

In WW2 the ground was requisitioned and the pitch was a designated emergency landing zone, amongst other locations in the town, for Allied aircraft in trouble. Home games played in the wartime Lg at the ground had to have prior permission from the RAF to take place. Not a lot of people know that

 

[Eternaloptimist]

If I’m not mistaken weren’t the original plans designed to hold 20,000 after the completion of the east stand?
If so I THInk would’ve be a decent gate size.
And I also thought that I read somewhere that the south, north and west stands could be cantilevered to take us up to24k.

 

[FY16JJ]

Port Vale is less than us surely....?

Apparently sold 5000 season tickets already!

 

[Wee_Bob]

Does it say where the Ormerod money is buried?

Apparently has been relocated to the new vault alongside the Critchley and Bowler money

 

[Boevets]

Errr I think you'll find the East stand was replaced a lot earlier than 2020

 

[Wizaard]

Port Vale is less than us surely....?

Close to 19000

 

[Shootz]

Close to 19000

15036 according to an article in The Stoke Sentinel on 3rd feb this year. Reading further into the article it states its unable to have the 19000 capacity due to lack of a safety certificate due to not enough toilets....!

Like us with a nominal 17500 or so, but 2000+ segregation space
