You could spread 1000 kids across the front of the Clayton end with ease, why do they need seats?

In a nutshell, yes you could. If a 1000 extra people turned up at the next game then they would fit in anywhere. But in the instance of a specific invitation then you'd want to house them together somewhere - and as Sherry says, there would be adults with them numbering in the hundreds. If we had to do this now we'd look for a smaller club, house their fans in the cow shed and give the Accy End over. If it then rained all the good work goes to waste as they'd have a ruined experience.
Maybe 18 months down the line we'll see a lid over the Accy End? Maybe we'll see the Whinney Hill stand go up?
The point is that we could house an organic growth of fans but A specific promotion aiming at a thousand kids we couldn't.
Food for thought there and we find ourselves back in a chicken and egg scenario
