Whilst I agree that we don't need to increase the capacity at the stadium yet, we do need to stewards to do their job. Each time I go into the south stand with my two children we are told that the kids need to be in the stands with us and not in front. However, once the game has started the stewards allow people to sit on the edge of the first step of the stand. I cannot tell you how many times someone has sat on my feet this season and then these people have the cheek to look at me in digust! I'm the one actually in the stand and as I do have small children with me, I ensure that I get into the ground at least an hour before kick off regardless of who we are playing to be certain of getting to the front. The stewards need to follow through with the requests. Each game they ask people to move into the stands then walk away and leave the people where they are! It is an absolute joke!!!
A lot of room in all stands is taken up by the yellow stairs and the tunnels. Look at soem of the football stands that hold far more people with narrower stairways.
For some matches-Wigan, saints, Hull, the home capacity is less than 10000. We had almost that the other week with virtually zero away support against Cats.
