A winning team (which is shaping up nicely) and a well marketed event (Gav will make sure of that!) will bring folks in...just have to look at the WP..our stadium is kinda shabby but the team is winning and the atmosphere is fantastic...come and see what I mean on Aug 10th Yorkies!!

May '19. Grass seeds have been sowed, next is the stitching of the carpet in a few weeks time...

Looks fantastic , can't wait .

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.

Why do we have different coloured seats randomly positioned around stadium could we not get the same coloured ones ?

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!

A lot of stadiums do it now, it gives the impression theres more in it than there is.

I was wondering why the stadium looked packed out with folks so soon b4 kick off...i thought they must have gone to watch the grass grow!

[Gav Wilson]

We have grass!!

And blue padded seats!!!

Further seating progress in the main stand.

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?

Man City's Academy Stadium has it too!

I reseeded my front lawn 6 weeks ago and it’s still struggling. 6 days to achieve this is brilliant!

The joys of a sprinkler system

Latest view from the East stand.

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...

Another couple, one of the main stand, and one of the 3G pitches.

Look like the stitching machinery is at work.
