Progress on upgrading the Lane for Premier League?

[Keen Blade]

SAG can suck my balls.

They've advised themselves that this would be "unsafe" due to flood risk.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I am sure they will be replaced with new sponsorship boards.

It’s being done up to be the Pukka Pies Fatty Foulke Corner. Pleasing to see this done at long last.

The Lane is looking absolutely beautiful

Rate view.

Looking good but I have to question why Sheffield United, a team from the Steel City which have been playing a "Forged in Steel" slogan to death for the last two years, has sourced the structural steel for the new media studio from...Milton Keynes.

Indeed.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Demolition would have tarted up the Pukka Pies stand quite nicely........Maybe one day eh?

 

[KeyffSmyff]

Looks like Uddersfelt have reduced the wattage of their bulbs since dropping out of the prem.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

That’s what I initially thought......but if you look at that video it shows a weird mirror image effect, which explains why the stands aren’t where you expect them to be.

That media room they’ve built is in the corner between the Kop and South stand.
The Pukka Pie corner hasn’t been touched as you can see in the pic above.

Correct the media room is between Kop and South Stand.

However you can clearly see the Pukka Pies corner has had a refurb.

So when I am walking to my seat on the kop, Gary Linacre (sic) could be doing a Walkers crisps (other brands are available) based shit above my head

Looks like my short cut out through the railings and slopey concrete ramp has been banned, along with cash payments, smoking/vaping and 3pm Satdy. kicking offs.

Bastds.

This is just what your average fan has been crying out for, for years.

And do you know if it will be possible to go for a piss at half-time without getting your feet wet and will there be any toilet paper available, or soap and hot water to wash your hands with afterwards?
