Will have a 2500 stand but ability to go to 10k with temp seating.
Also sounds like they have the business side in place now as well.

Even if they eventually make it into Super Six can't imagine crowds being more than high hundreds at best.
With "mini-Murrayfield" now going ahead I'm not aware of any other rugby matches it could be used forthat would need the extra capacity.

Making a big song and dance about it then changing things without a good explanation it's a good look. If it has been decided then they need to go public quickly, The SRU leaks like a sieve.
Actuallay if it is true then they should have announced it before the new man was put in charge, if his first public announcement is not a popular one it puts him on the back foot straight away.
If we win then we will get an atmosphere in the big stadium, it is better already but we need to keep momentum, Friday will be interesting from that point of view.
