What was the truth behind the idea that another row of seats could have gone in/go in at the very front?

I recall the seating contractor had an order for 27,500 seats, always made me smile when the attendance board used to put up 25,000 exactly on big games

Yet the record crowd at Reebok is above 28,000

When it first opened the planning permission was for 25,000 only and after a few years  they applied to up the capacity, little did the planners know...

What year was this ?

Fascinating picture 

Some of the crowd on the roof look like they have turned round to wave at the UFO hovering behind them .

 

it pops up about 10 mins into this history of BP video on YouTube when talking about our record attendance v City

so guess it's 1933

In 96/97 my old man was security guard at chrotex (factory on CNR), and I basically sat for ages in his gatehouse watching the ground being built on his adjustable cctv camera thing
