First game to be played away

[Superblades]

That’s the media room. The TV studio is going between the Kop and South stand

I’m guessing that will be like what we had for a few of the games last year?

 

[Treeton Blade]

Have the bothered doing owt with the kop bogs and snail pace bar?

No, because supporter comfort, and the match day experience is bottom of the list, by some way.

Character building, getting soaked making your way to the toilets at half time.

At least we have a roof on the one at the bottom of the steps toward John Street these days,luxury.

The sooner it is flattened and start again from scratch the better

 

[mancunianblade]

Fair enough. Just surprised as there are at least two clubs in the Premier League that don't have any screens

They will next season. Premier league announced this week that VAR results will be shown on big screens in all grounds

VAR replays to be shown on screens at Premier League matches

Some decisions that go to the video assistant referee are to be shown on big screens at Premier League grounds.

www.bbc.co.uk

Any interesting point is the line where it says “PL are looking into ways where fans can view VAR decisons on an app”

So that means improving the 4G coverage in every stadium too

Bigger and better I presume as I’ve been told part of the south stand corrugated metal wall has got to be removed to fit it in

Good look with that a the lane.
It doesn't matter what network I've been on I can never get internet coverage on match day on the kop.

Yeah I was kinda getting at that. Every stadium I go to has painfully slow 4G coverage

I’m in the south stand and very poor on 4g but change to 3G on phone and it is fine

The media room for TV presenters is going in between the Kop and South stand. The TV studio for post match interviews of players and managers is going in to the left hand side of the players entrance taking some space out of the Platinum suite. I went down yesterday morning. You can see the building work internally

The media room is the current media room that has had the wall knocked down to use the classroom space

Switch to 3G in settings if you have an iPhone

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Also Wilders got monnehh

What does dirk digby know ??

 

[bromtom]

We could really do without enlarging the pitch.

A metre on either touchline if the pitch dimensions on Wikipedia are correct. Just over a metre on the bylines but not sure we can do that.

Didn't we knock about a metre off each wing a soon as Wilder took over? Can definitely remember it as I used to look straight down the line before from my position on the Kop and don't now.

Don’t know if I’m being thick here but isn’t that just because there’s a large concentration of people all trying to use it in a small area?

Definitely true on JS side, my seat was always on touchline, now it's 2 or 3 seats to my left

Yeah you can tell by the huge strip of nice turf down the John Street side, it's easily 3 or 4m wide.

Not thick at all pal. That’s exactly it.

What does dirk digby know ??

Absolutely fuck all

Pretty sure he's the porn star Mark Wahlberg plays in Boogie Nights.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Amazing that Sky chose to televise so many of our home games last season then isn't it...

The poor viewers can't have seen a thing.

I had to turn the brilliance down when we were on.

 

[Blade56]

Will the new floodlights mean we can do those fancy pre match light shows that Chelsea pull off?

​

improvements totalling circa £3M , including ' extra big screens, shifting scoreboards and a new box for Gary Lineker and Jamie Redknapp' .

And a private booth with porn hub and a tub of KY jelly

had an eye test lateley?

 

[tyke1889]

had an eye test lateley?

Yeah every 2 years ta, that's what happens at my age
I stand to be corrected but I'm sure we narrowed the pitch post Tufty.

Has anyone every tapped you on the shoulder and said....”Oy, you’re in my seat”?

No, but I thought that feller 3 seats down calling me a cunt was a bit odd after all these years.

Seems to be that a lot of people are doing this as 3G was slowing down towards the end of the season.

Was at the Etihad last night and they had O2 WiFi which worked really well given the amount of people

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Call me old fashioned,but can’t you young people go 90 minutes without looking at your telephone and watch and enjoy the match?

 

[grafikhaus]

Absolutely not. HuaWei have installed software on all phones that gives the user a look of bovine stupidity.

Anyway, 'First game to be played away' - Southampton. Moved to Friday night for Sky. (Not ITK, just that I wouldn't be surprised).

Sorry Fred, what you say?
