We are losing over 1,000 in the grandstand and I'm not sure how many seats we have in the lower mayflower compared to the temporary seating for that match but it should be somewhere close to that.
Still a bit surprised the two strips that make up Block H (30 seats) at the BPE of the Lower Mayflower haven't gone on sale.
I'll be interested tomorrow to see if anyone's sitting there. It had been suggested stewards/first aiders etc - but you would have thought the club would have welcomed having supporters sat there when everywhere else is sold out.

I read somewhere that the upper Mayflower holds 2680 when full. Take off the 900 ST holders and the 175 made available yesterday leaves 1600 odd empty seats. Add that to the 330 segregation, the 100 (ish) not sold by Ipswich and as mentioned above 'Block' H and gives a capacity of 16570. We all know that there will be no shows but depends if they count the turnstile figures or the tickets sold. But in the end does it really matter? As long as Argyle win, I don't care what the crowd is. There will be plenty enough there to swell the coffers. Just hoping that the power crazed Lyndhurst Security personnel are 1. Actually there on time and 2. Accept that fans are going to attend games with items that have some form of metal in them . Who is actually going to throw their car/house keys or £800 of iphone onto the pitch however upset they get?
Well there we go:
“Considering all the factors outlined above, and based on a fully sold-out away end, a capacity crowd for Saturday’s game would be in the region of 16,300. Based on current away ticket sales, it is expected that the sell-out figure will be around 16,000.”

Ditto - thanks for the clarification Argyle. I'm nerdy enough to find this sort of stuff fascinating.

Aaarghhh… No, no, no. Stop it. Rewind the clock. Get in a Time Machine. Delete the post. I’ve been desperately trying to avoid saying, typing or alluding to this phrase all week. The world has change in the last 18 months. Have you not noticed?

That is a good read, very informative.
I haven’t been up there since the refurbished mayflower but why is the concourse such an issue now?
I know that it was pretty narrow already but there are still a similar amount of seats up there as there were before trying to make sense of how we can only accommodate only 50% capacity in that area of the ground.
I know the legroom is an issue also but I can’t see that that would be the reason they’re restricting capacity to those levels, sounds like a health and safety issue especially when we had to apply to the council for further use of seats within that area.
Might seem like a basic analysis but if the concourse is now much smaller than it was previous why was this not flagged up as a concern, we’re lucky this is the first time we’re due to lose money out of this error if we keep performing we might be set to lose out fairly often.
