New seats below Sky lounge

[kingcole]

Can these seats be sold or can they only be accessed via the box?

I think they can be corporate sold when Sky don't need the box.

Looking good! It makes the South East corner look tidier and more finished off, I wonder if there are any plans to develop the North East corner to complete the look of the East Stand?

 

[Superseagull]

Could a similar setup be built in the north east corner? That corner still looks a little unfinished. I guess the big restriction would be maintaining the main stadium vehicle access underneath?

I think that is used for Disabled supporters. would be a bit controversial if it was built and kicked out folk in Wheelchairs. As far as I can see it's only one of very few disabled user friendly seats with a elevated view.

That must be an older picture than the one I posted (taken yesterday) as yours doesn't have the Amex signage at the front of the seats.

I reckon you could create a nice atmosphere in the seats underneath the lounge......that low ceiling would surely create a 'loudspeaker' effect. Shame it's in the away end, must be fair to build similar in the North east but not at the cost of any disable seating if that is where this area is used for.

I think we sell this area to home fans. Next to the away fans granted but i think I saw it for sale.

I doubt it once all the scaffolding is removed. You might not be able so see the whole stadium like before but the view of the pitch should be fine I think

As long as the ball is on the pitch. Once it goes above head height you won't see it till it drops down again (a-la the lower tier in the Anfield Road end).

Fully expecting a Pulis masterclass of aerial bombardment raining down on Ryan tomorrow, so anyone sat near the back underneath that studio will only get to see the ball occasionally.

You could be right AB. That is one mahoosive piece of glass between the fans!

 

[Alba Badger]

Looks like it's a whole new section S2A so might be for sale to Joe public. Also the area beneath the TV studio is on sale to our fans.

So home fans in half that area segregated by that glass wall with away fans occupying the other half?

As an aside, I know one of the roofers who has been working on it, and its apparently been a cuffing nightmare of a job. Clambering around on the roof of that studio with the stadium roof so low down and close, whilst trying to hump major pieces of equipment and materials into place around the steel girders. Doesn't sound like something like this was ever considered in the original stadium build. He can't wait to see the end of this job!

Looks good though dunnit.

I'm not entirely sure about that as the SE corner was the only bit inside the stadium that has always looked a bit 'unfinished' with the internal cladding never put in place.

That looks about right, half and half home and away.

Maybe then.

At the time they built the Amex, I don't think there was a PL requirement for a 2nd studio to be in place, seem to remember reading somewhere that it was a more recent requirement. But perhaps they always had that corner pegged as a potential additional lounge or something.

Regardless though, they've done a good job on it. It looks like it belongs, certainly doesn't give the impression of being an afterthought.

Half & Half South East corners scarfs anyone?

Only part of the new build is a TV studio. The rest is a new corporate lounge that will be used by American Express for customers, entertaining clients and sometimes for employees. The seats in front are for Lounge guests so I can't imagine they will be on general sale at any point this season.

Would it not make sense to sell these seats to Joe Public as Prime seats when Amex or Sky do not require them at certain matches?
