if it is like previous years, it is seeded so we can't have Acci. We'll be at home to a higher seed club. Plus it is regionalised but I'm not sure how that works. Home to Leeds if they are in our group. Home to Carlisle will mean handing over three-quarters of the ground to the Scottish hordes.

Northern Section - West
Accrington Stanley, Bury, Carlisle United, Crewe Alexandra,Oldham Athletic, Stockport County, Walsall
these are thr only team we can draw so if what you are saying is correct what means we can only draw carlisle, Oldham, Stockport or Walsall

One good reason to move to a bigger stadium and not have to give up your home area every time we play a bigger club , which if we are as successful as everybody wants us to be , will be a lot more often.

Pains me to say but Ned has a point, the capacity when its built will be 6,000 but it will have the potential to be alot bigger unlike christie park which is very limited to the amount of work that can be done on it as its crammed into such a small space.

Unfortunately our away area only houses 1,000 standing spectators and 200 seated spectators. Nevertheless, we will be able to fulfill part of your ticket order. That will be 15,800 pounds please (1000x13 + 200x14). How will you be paying, Mr. Terror? Cash OK?

When building a new ground like ours or Burtons the bulk of the expenditure is on the main stand which with all the associated facilities such as conference suite , gym , club shop etc has to be right from the start.
Not as much of a % of the total cost is on the other 3 stands as these will hopefully be expanded in years to come when we move up into the next tier.

We will not attract 6000 plus fans anytime soon, turning away 2 or 300 in a 3500 ground once in a blue moon does not justify this stadium, its stupid

The relocation isn't about capacity. Christie Park requires huge investment plus Westgate will have earning potential on non-matchdays that CP just doesn't. It's the club's financial stability at stake.

We have been informed at this end that we will be getting the stands at either end of the pitch.
Morcombe fans will be housed on the carwash side, wherever that is.

Well you my friend have been mis-informed there is no chance of you getting the north stand you will recieve the away end, half the main stand and the carwash if you ask nicely
