Keegans Export Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 There's a fairly regular complaint in the Match Atmosphere thread about the same two or three songs being repeated over and over. Personally I think that part of the issue is away games essentially being a closed shop these days but a fan zone could help - songs/chants on the big screen, a decent DJ/MC keeping things ticking along. It might be a bit cringey but there'll be plenty who are after exactly that sort of thing and it could help the atmosphere inside the ground too.

High tech asf in design to mesh with our new ambitions and be very much a place where the club can hold activations and events with players, former players, etc. I’m assuming it’ll also include some “meeting/banquet” space for them to hold indoor events too and allow for it to be booked by locals and be useful for other sport events too Is there any indication that the fanzone will be permanent? I would guess that the things you've mentioned would be integrated into the expansion whenever that would happen which obviously is in the long term bracket? Unless there is enough space to develop the gallowgate behind the fanzone. The reason is that I'm thinking the new gallowgate will be a huge superstructure and eat up a huge piece of land Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 You get the feeling if the fanzone is funded by a pif company it could be made beautifully and then torn down when we expand! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be class on a matchday if you could comfortably get another 500 in or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 A mate of mine was saying the new posh bit they are doing in the gallowgate is going to be £14k plus VAT a season ticket 😱 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I guess they’re making that bit genuinely corporate hospitality, where before it was just a more expensive way for normal people to get in. Mainly because nobody else would have been interested. It’s brutal for the people who sit there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobbySolano Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Anyone has any idea what similar hospitality tickets cost at other pl cl clubs? When you do season tickets, do you get special access/pricing to cup or cl matches? It's not "accessible" per se but i don't find it outrageous when compared to US sports. New England Patriots equivalent tickets are $10k each, min 2 tickets, and you just commit to 10 years. Paying first and last season up front. And that's for 8 home games. Playoffs tickets available at a slightly discounted price. Granted it's it's very different. Curious what big clubs charge. We have to get used to the consequences of a better product and ambition to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of gallowgate club you could access a pre-sale ballot for cups games etc yeah. Not a guarantee, but still a perk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
