Progress on upgrading the Lane for Premier League?

[MCRBlade]

was there a match on or do we keep a Lino on permanent duty UTB

Didn’t even notice that when I first looked at the picture

Behind closed doors game, Ravel posted a picture of himself in kit on Instagram, and it would also explain why the players we're all in the Copthorne the other night.

Also why does everyone think Gary Lineker is going to be in our media box? The only way he'd be in it is if we get a top 4 side at home in the FA Cup or are in the Champions League next season.

It'll be David Jones/ Kelly Cates/ Jake Humphrey, maybe Laura Woods if we do well in the league cup.

He's still catching up with play from a game last October.

He gave offside though.

You’re going to have to narrow it down a bit further ...

They are installing the new security box to catch people vaping at half time

Yes...that will be really interesting.
If there are 100 fans smoking outside behind the Kop.....then how are the stewards going to deal with it if everyone just ignores their request to stop smoking.
Also it someone is smoking in the bottom concourse miles away from the Kop, then how can fans take a steward seriously when he says smoking is a safety risk.

This reminds me of a few years back when stewards were told to ensure fans couldn’t stand and had to sit down at the back of the Kop.
They tried implementing it for so long then just gave it up as a waste of time.

Hope this goes the same way, and I am a non smoker and always have been.

It doesn’t have to be finished until the Arsenal game

This was posted to Facebook today. More media box progress and looks like the surrounding pitch areas have been re-laid in black.

Wouldn't it have been easier to use one of those offices in the corner of Bramall Lane\John Street for the purposes of a TV studio?

Sorry I must have missed it, why’s that then?

Sky's studio coverage on Sundays is broadcast from the home ground of the later game if there's more than one: this weekend it'll be from Stamford Bridge ahead of Chelsea v Leicester. The first later Sunday/Monday night game we have on is Arsenal.

Theres a picture of the ground plan on twitter and maybe here regarding blut. On it the little room next to the international bar is named TV Studio

I sit in the SS and remember last time they tried to ban smoking. The concourse on the Kop end had all these no smoking signs put up and then just had 100's of people stood in front of them smoking.

No way can the stewards do anything about it and it'll be the same this year.

I sort of agree with them as well. No issue with the smoking ban in enclosed spaces but that concourse and the one on the kop are purely open air. No reason whatsoever to ban it there.

Having just been to pick up from the station, good luck to anyone needing to go on Queens Road on Sunday. Wonder if they'll get the rest of the Bramall Lane tarmaced by then as well. Half done and white lines painted. Other half just raised manholes.

BT will want it for their game in September.

Good point. Gives them until Friday 27th September to finish it.

How many loyalty points do you need to get in there then?

80,000 and a human sacrifice (must have at least 35,000 loyalty points).

Looks like Lineker's kennel has just added 200 restricted view seats to the left side of the kop. United don't half employ some morons to design ground improvements still I suppose it will take the attention off the Yukki pie corner disaster of seats behind a brick wall. Christ a 5 year old could design better on Minecraft.

 

[metalblade]

Looking at the stadium plans the left of the kop from row O right up to row MM are restricted view seats well over 200 seats

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Another new press room completed...

Yukki Pie corner no more.
It's the Red Panel corner now.

Some of our fans are terrified of the words "ambition" and "progression".

Chesterfield showed ambition by building a new ground.

When we built the South stand we were lumbered with the debt for years.

A debt which prevents spending on the team.

We need 2 tv studios, the other has been created at level 1 on John St near the offices
