With the temporary seats in there for he Liverpool game wasn't it around 17,000, with a small partition so the overall May have around 17,500. That's a lot of extra seats to squeeze in somewhere to get it up to 20,000!
It was nearly 21,000 before with standing and just under 20,000 with seating, so as it's the same structure with I assume a new lower tier... it would therefore be disappointing if it was much less than 20k.
I'm guessing temporary seating takes up more space and is far less efficient at using that space than purpose built permanent seating.
Yeah the old green temporary seating used to have oodles of legroom, so i wouldn't be surprises if they can fit more in the same space.
Yep, come to think of it there were large walkways among the seats weren't there?
Yeah like you say, the space wasn't very efficiently used, so i'm sure a permanent solution will see 20-30 percent more seats.
Edited to add... yes there were 1 or 2 walkways along the length of the pitch as well as the usual up and down ones.
