There has of course been an increase in numbers seated as two seasons ago we had only one stand and last season over 1/4 of the games were before the SASS opened. I'm pretty sure there has also been a sustained increase in the ratio of seated to terrace customers compared to the last season when we had the OG, hardly surprising as the "customer offer" is so much better at SJP generally now - as well as the new stand it's so much better for away fans especially and their numbers are also up, only Mansfield (struggling at the lower end of the table) and Cheltenham (affected by the closure of the M5) were significantly below expectations.Would also love to know how the numbers for standing and sitting compare. Are a higher proportion of people now choosing to sit since the opening of the new grandstand? If so, that would presumably mean the income generated per person is higher.
But as explained this is not the only factor in overall revenue:- mix of customers, increased number of season tickets, etc. all affect the totals. The details are of course commercially sensitive but the Club are very aware of these factors and monitor them closely.
