lol no. nothing at all. it might do for new season who knows. i think it is just gronud safety so that those seats cant be occupied by anyone.

It's probably the new row of advertising hoardings (or preparations for them) that mean we can't use Row A any more. See the thread from Row A Exile on this for details. Seems to be more to do with advertising than safety, anyway.

been told they have put in an extra row at the back ,can any 1 confirm or deny this

I can deny this, as there is a wall at the back of the stand preventing this.

Well, it would keep up the capacity to 25,000 I suppose but it'd be a bit useless for the people on Row A, as if your preferred spot is to watch the game from pitchside you're hardly likely to want to move up to the gods.

Moved back a whole row to B for next season.
Just need to remember to restrain myself as I can get a little caught up in the moment when advising Mr Ganson of his indiscretions or questioning the parentage of any Stains players!
