Have we ever thought about doing bishop Street up?

[daddycool]

Never had these problems with the Broughtons .

[HitchcocksShins]

Never had these problems with the Broughtons .

What problem would that be? Almost selling out every home match?

Terrible news. Wish we could go back to mid table L2 and 3000 home fans a week, I could get back to my car in 5 minutes. Now it takes me 15

[yorkshire stag]

if only we had the Bishop st open

[Chrisuknottm]

Honestly all these new hangers on that are polluting our match day experience.....I want to stand on the Quarry Lane terracing again too but someone built a stand there lol

[Captain Cunno]

Look forward to a 1900 seat stand being populated with 100 hardy souls again......

[victor A block]

7000 in 2 stands. Less than 100 in the other 2 excluding the ball boys.

Wonder who thought that up.

They will be locking the gate next.

Selling out is great but it also costs money in terms of lost gate receipts, it's why clubs build new grounds. We should have done the Bish a few seasons ago and many of us predicted the club would lose money, as they are now. Had we put a simple small stand over there in Evans/DF times when gates were good then it is quite likely the clubs outlay would have been close to being repaid. This is ignoring improved fan experience as the ground is less likely to be over-crowded. It was a no brainer 5 years ago, it remains a no brainer and I can't help but think that having a whole side empty has had a detrimental impact on the pitch too.

Who predicted we would be selling out nobody ,on here lets just move on it will get done eventually

5 years ago? What were the crowds like then? 4k at most I bet. Hardly warrants a new stand building

[lifestags]

Our attendance does seem to have shot up over the last couple of seasons. Not sure we could of predicted these numbers while we were in league 2.

Its the whole of lower league football anyone who says they foresaw these increases in attendances are just being wise after the event

The "average" attendance in 18/19 was just shy of 5k, we had many gates higher including one of 7,300 in the play-offs, 7,200 v Lincoln and 6,400 against Stevenage who brought 200. It's not a new problem.

[Captain Cunno]

That's hardly the same as now though is it ?

How many games were all ticket back then ?

But was that when we had a 9.5 k stadium ie before sag

No it wasn't, have another sangria

It's not just me who has been talking about the Bish for many years, but also the owners, who only recently put the "if promoted" proviso on.

[Walton Stag]

Didn’t Steve Hymas come on here recently and state that it is in hand and asked us to be patient? Not the Stagsnet way, though, is it, patience?

[Rob]

No it isn't, the need now is much more pressing and sadly by not doing it back then it is likely we'll be locking Stags fans out of a ground with 1,500 empty seats. From memory I think we had 4 all ticket games that season.

Nothing we can do about the past but not doing it now is just compounding the losses.

It's just a discussion Walton, it's what the board is for.

Come April it will have been derelict for 20 years. I think that's pretty patient.

Crowds have been crap for 20 years at least before that. I didn’t think we’d be getting the gates we are not regularly until we were at least established in League 1. Say 5 years ago an average gate of 5k doesn’t warrant a new stand being built, the 3 games Rob states above were probably the 3 most important games that season.

Other than changing ends so away fans can be segregated in QLE this isn’t a quick fix. Any new stand will take a season or 2 to sort out. Knowing our luck we’d have been up to League 1 and back again in that time

I'm in full agreeance it needs doing now but building one 5 years ago on gates of 5k just in case we get crowds we have now was never gonna happen was it...
