Looking at this link which I presume is out of date it reckons the capacity would be 1774. https://queensparkfc.co.uk/lesser-hampden/#:~:text=New East Stand (Capacity%3A 812) However this link here then talks aboit a south stand for away supports for 500 people which I thought was added onto the pre-existing 1774. https://queensparkfc.co.uk/bigger-and-better-for-lesser-hampden/ East stand planning permission showed as holding 959... 671 seats, 274 standing, 14 disabled/helpers... but it's been built as all-seater so presumably slightly reduced. (Note it includes some hospitality seats who will apparently use the street to walk around from pavilion on the opposite side of the pitch; you'd also have to deduct any segregation areas). West directors box seats 40. If and when South stand is built it'll increase capacity to 1,450-1,500 (less whatever reduction making the East... and it?... all-seater). They replaced plans for a West stand of 752 seats, 150 standing, 12 disabled/helpers with 40 seat directors box.

Arachnophile Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 The club turned professional to avoid falling through the trapdoor into the Lowland League. Then they built a stadium ideally suited to... the Lowland League. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanjo Nostalgia Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 How long before QP run out of other places to play home games and start coming up the road to play at Caley stadium? We could use a bit of extra revenue! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’d still put up a stout defence of 900 being a larger number than 1700, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim that the newly built hospitality suite attached to the directors stand, which can be rented out for functions etc will bring in more revenue than ticket sales for football matches. They may be right, but we're a football club, that plays football matches, and now that we're in the Championship we don't have enough space for all the people that want to buy tickets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
