Just looking at the pitch and the stands makes me miss us playing again so much. Can't wait for the season to start and hopefully, it'll be a successful and enjoyable one.

J7 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Maybe its just me, but I quite like that the seats are grey. Looks classier imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I mean corporate seats right behind the goal isn’t exactly conducive to creating a great atmosphere. I’m betting this upgraded corporate area is a lot pricier than the previous sports bar seats they’re replacing aswell. No excuse for Corporate seating behind the goals, they should be the cheapest seats in the ground and it reduces the number of ordinary fans who can get in.

Considering the away fans are above them it's a bad decision. Any extra noise at the GEC standing area will count for nothing around the away fans. Need something in direct competition to them. I also feel that the leazes/milburn corner is the easiest place to get a ticket if your not a ST holder, a lot of people sitting on their own which doesn't help the atmosphere at that part of the ground Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I do believe those seats, which have been removed, are located in the area once known to be the sports bar. I say once known, as they are being transformed into a new area for corprate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrone Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Isn't that area the Leazes Sports Bar area? To be honest it's needed a revamp for years, I was in there last pre season and they still had Adidas promotional stuff around the place ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLC Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Ah, I walked past the Leazes end yesterday and saw lots of furniture that had been removed from somewhere. Tallies with the earlier posts today. The furniture all had an early-years MFI look about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Am I totally misremembering, or did something come around to ST holders at some stage last season asking if you'd be interested in safe standing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose 5-10% of capacity but can make 30% extra on a higher-end configuration with better hospitality they would possibly go for it. But obviously a non-starter if renewals for that area have already been confirmed. Edited July 13, 2023 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have been able to stay (not sure if in exact same seat) but do not have access to the corporate facilities (their ST price has been reduced though to reflect the fact that they no longer have the facilities they had when it was the Sports Bar).
