Official Old Man

The CCTV camera in the roof of the East points more at us in search of bottle tops than the away fans.
I don't imagine many clubs will be starting non-necessary stadium building work until the fallout of Covid-19 is apparent. With high unemployment rates almost inevitable season ticket retention and match ticket sale will almost certainly be hit.
With COVID 19 (2.0) ready and raring to go, I suspect the Premier League are already doing deals to mitigate the effect. I fully expect "special deals" from Now TV to enter my inbox at the end of this season. Anyone for a digital version of themselves on a flat screen TV, plonked on their seat and plumbed into that Zoom thingy?
The low cost of borrowing together with this hospitality providing much needed increase in income would now the ideal opportunity to complete work. Any issues are likely to be availability of materials to the constructors at this time, and the likely minimal break between this and next may mean no time to complete.
Both the kiosk application and the north stand have been approved.
Change to the north stand: BH2020/00770
Kiosks: BH2020/00919
For reasons that are unclear to me, the application to increase the size of allowed attendances to 32500, BH2020/00769, has yet to be considered. It's been nearly 4 months now.
There's nothing to stop them going ahead with all the building work, but until this has passed we won't be able to increase the number of tickets sold.
One of the developments is a “ “northern lights” inspired lounge “
1) What is a northern lights inspired lounge?
2) Why have they chosen such an inspiration?

Think these have been on there since March. There is also a very interesting report about the economic impact. They reckon the extra fans will make the ground 0.2 dB louder
Seems to be some sort of objection from the council about the roads.
North Stand not getting increased quite as much as some of us thought. Looks like about 350.
We were right to think that the South East Corner would be mirrored in the North East Corner.
A transport assessment also says what our actual attendances were.

Actually looks like an interesting place to watch the game from, probably ruin it by making it full on corporate.
I thought the idea was to have a more supporter friendly bar, scarves, colours and atmosphere, not champagne suits and prawn sandwiches.I may be wrong but thats what i thought the intended target supporter was.

It is for premium customers (at a premium cost), really another Amex Platinum or Sky lounge.
