It probably wont. The NE corner is being done first and by the time they get round to the SE the season will be over.



As for why are we expanding when we dont fill, and average gates only etc etc. If you follow that mentality why did we move to a new stadium with a capacity over 5000!

you maybe correct that its too early, time will tell. however, our crowds are on the up and have been over the last few years, so assuming that continues and we have more success then it will be the correct decision. also, i believe we will sell out the 15,000 capacity for the wigan/saints games, big cup games, and even if it is only 2 or 3 times a year, it will be worth it. plus the club are obviously in a financial position to expand without needing sell outs every game, or they wouldnt be doing it. i honestly think that 13,000 is too small of a crowd for the wigan and saints games so even if its just those two that have 15,000, it will be worth it IMO.

Although we can't fill the stadium, filling in the corners it will helps attendances as the south stand is the most popular so by making more space in there it may attract supporters who may not want to sit down or be in the away end. Or if it doesn't attract more supporters we may have enough space to avoid the yellow lines

What odds that there are still people being ask to move off them though....lol

Our attendances are on the up, so only time will tell if we have made the correct decision or not.

The Yellow areas will be stood on the same as they are with the 1 announcer trying to move 1000 people from an area with a tannoy will never work

Great to see you expanding the HJ stadium, as a Saints fan its one of my favourite away grounds already, I do love the atmosphere that terracing produces. Can't wait for you lot to visit our new place too. I am sure you will get allocated over 4.5k for your visits, should create a great atmosphere.

How many is it to hold?

I do hope we get 4.5k like you say because that would be sold out in no time.

I hope we get you 2nd'3rd game of season, because you lot won't loose your first game in a new stadium.

What state will the stadium be in for the Aus v NZ game? Seems a strange decision to plan an important international when major building work is going on.

Think we need to push the capacity to over 25k, gotta be able to fit all these wigan fans in, already for this semi final over 5k have been snapped up in less than 4 days....how impressive is that.

Have you managed to fill it as it is many times this season?

The south stand has been filled more often than not I believe, so great idea making more space available for people like me who don't have a season ticket and can only commit to going to games at the last minute, but don't want to sit/stand behind the posts...

Sorry, i was refering to the stadium as a whole.... hardly seems worth making it bigger
