To be fair the 1000 capacity for the chequers end/away end hasn't just been set. That was the capacity for the Bromley match, I believe, and was the main reason why we were able to increase the capacity for that match. Uncovered terracing is not subject to the same restrictions as covered terracing is. Not sure what the board should have said that they didn't TBH.
The leader of TBC confirmed the effective capacity as 5000 and at 3900 for the next two matches to a random proper fan on Friday but not to the club. That isn't the board's fault. They have had this entire situation visited on them from nowhere and I know for a fact that the largely unpaid volunteers that comprise the board and management of the club have worked night and day and lost a lot of sleep trying to put this whole sorry mess right - they did not create or deserve this mess but they have done everything humanly possible to sort it out,
