The Bescot Stadium is starting to take shape in time for the 2003/2004 season.

The transformation of the Purple Stand (Lower Tier) from terracing to seating has entered its final stage as the seats are now being installed. Their will be approximately 1900 seats in the lower tier next season, offering an unobstructed view of the Bescot Playing surface.

The official capacity of the Stadium will be 11,300, meaning that the record attendance of 11,037 (From the Wolves game) can still be surpassed next season. 

There will be no cash turnstiles next season and the club wants fans to buy their tickets early to avoid large que's on match days.  It will be hard for those who work full time to buy their tickets before the game, and even if they buy them on a match day for future games que's are inevitable.

The fact there are only 4 Windows to sell tickets from on a match day could be the clubs major problem. Maybe their is a need for extra windows under the Purple or Bankss Stands? Only the coming season will tell...
