Seems as good a place as any to put it.
Part of the problem our stewards have is the shallow terrace is very close to the pitch and away fans can reach the goal netting from behind the barrier. It makes them and the police very jumpy because they have so little time to react when away fans surge forward..
Two nights ago planning permission for a new 1930 capacity stand to replace the terrace was approved. sadly for away fans who prefer terracing I would imagine the club will want to build this ASAP to increase capacity and make it easier for crowd control.
Once built the Hive capacity goes up to 6500 but still restricted to 5100 without approval from the council (i.e one off games)
