White Knight 627 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I think it looks great. I wonder if they are planning to screen the ends of the stands from the elements. The pic below is from Bournemouth’s stadium. They have used action photos. I think they look rather good.

It's done like that so it looks fuller on TV games/highlights. It's been done in Australia for years now and looks great tbf! Quote @GavWilson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fenton Knight 580 Report post Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Some folk are not too keen on the seat design but I love it. Other sporting clubs elsewhere in the world clearly love it to as evidenced by the designs in their own stadia. Can’t wait to have a pre-match pint overlooking the pitch with the players warming up from the comfort and warmth of the lounge bar. Then adjourn to my lovely padded seat for the match. Did someone say Christmas for our first match, albeit a friendly? Edited May 22, 2019 by Fenton Knight 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fenton Knight 580 Report post Posted May 23, 2019 I am trying to find the love for the old place but I am really struggling. Perhaps it was the running track or the exposed ends, or having the seats all the same colour... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
