Apparently kerala football fans are not happy with stadium renovated for the world cup which resulted in capacity reduce. They want those bucket seats be taken off and restore back to cement gallery as was the case earlier. KBFC fans want a 1 lakh seater stadium.
Bucket seats aside, are there enough entry & exit points in the stadium to support 1 lakh crowd? The capacity reduction is not just bcoz of bucket seats, its also due to safety. VYBK has 80k bucket seats but for WC 65k people were allowed so that the stadium can be cleared in 8 mins in case of a mishap
Removal of bucket seats will not bring 1 lakh seats. In the 1990s when F C Kochin used to play, Nehru Cup and also some cricket matches, Cochin did see 90 thousand plus crowd. But now with more security safety proticol, such cramming of public is unsafe and 60 thousand is the Max regularly allowed. Now with more bucket seats-what is the latest figure?
