EA Stadium

[In-goal]

Just a quick question with all the work being done on the stadium what will the new capacity be?

Seating?
Standing? etc.

thanks whoever can answer this.

 

[Andy]

New capacity will be about 26,000. about 80% will be seated.

 

[In-goal]

thanks for that, another question are there any plans to take the capacity above 30K?

yeah when we get that badly needed funding.

or when pigs fly.

whichever occurs first.

:lol: Thats funny, but so true it's not funny. :? No money in the world can buy the kind of support our boys get from a packed EA stadium. 26,000 at EA will make more noise then 45,000 at aussie or 70,000 at telstra.

No Newcastle Council owns the stadium and it is ran and administered by the ISC trust.

Actually, it's owned by the state government, hence the reluctance for Little Johnny to part with his promised cash.

Is that because Federal is Liberal and state is Labour?
