Obviously when the new stand is ready, it should increase the ground capacity maybe by 150-200, and from our POV this could be very important.

So how and when does a ground capacity get calculated, and I suppose we would be responsible for the cost of this, should we want the capacity reviewed?

The Bishop capacity is calculated through the green guide.

Stand capacity is 312. Capacity at the moment is 2,004 so it's likely it will increase. I will be honest an say I don't think we have looked at getting the ground re-graded as we are not sure of costs so will need to discuss it with bishop.

I don't think it needs re-grading, but certainly it is very important to get the capacity reviewed.

I doubt it would cost much as they would just take into account the new stand and everything else would be as you were.

Whatever the cost, Bishop should shoulder half of it, because they are benefiting from that stand too - they will be letting their fans sit in it!

Yeah but when we move later down the line that stand moves with us, so their capacity get's 'down-graded' again.

I can't imagine Bishop wanting to pay for a re-grading when in all liklihood it's not going to affect them e.g. other than playing us when are they going to threaten their capacity?

True, but WE might need the extra capacity.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I agree (should we continue this form throughout the season). I just don't think Bishop are likely to want to pay for something that will be of little use to them.

Certainly something to look at over the coming months.

Exactly right, the only game they'd have benefited from this has been and gone.

Not in my eyes. Think there's bigger problems to iron out with the matchday experience first, once those have been sorted then we can possibly look to do something.

Why should it take months to reassess the capacity? One phone call to the right person will do, obviously if the cost is steep then it drops down the priority list - I understand that.
