Thankfully we won't have the problems or expense that Luton had!

 

[TomRad85]

Quite looking forward to seeing what we do with the ground over the summer. I'm sad like that.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

Hope Doug treats himself to an upgrade:

Toilet cubicle doors that actually lock would be great

I'm pretty sure the actual base infrastructure for camera gantrys is still in place from the olympic usage.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Hopefully the camera upgrades will mean we don't lose 300 seats every time the Sky cameras are there

This is the thread I’ve been waiting for. Would’ve posted it myself, but didn’t want to get too presumptuous. Love this shit. Assume the “gantry” behind me in block 20 would have to get upgraded in some way?

Do we have to provide a studio to TV coverage?

 

[Sky Blue Heaven]

Yes, a new TV studio will also be required. I presume in the corner between block 5-6.

Someone posted something earlier in the season suggesting we do have to provide a studio, but Sky rarely use them outside the big 6.

Well we will need it then as we will be in the top 6, if we’re serious about Europe

 

[Major Tom]

Imagine still being at Highfield road

 

[Marty]

I'm not a big Sky sports viewer, but these days don't they use a central studio?

On the gantry, premier league rules mean it has to be enclosed

So, long story short, better Internet?

That's an easy one, just put the enclosure around the present one.

We are fucked then.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

One of the biggest jobs was done last summer with the new floodlights.

 

[PaulPUSB]

Good luck with the internet it's fucking shocking even my mobile data doesn't work at the ground and as for the internet there isn't any.

Think they were only done to Championship standard, this was the tender document from last year

Supply and install and fit Flood Lights and LED Stand Lights in stadium bowl to EFL Championship level with a system that could be increased for Premier League Standard and is suitable for official broadcast requirements.

I don’t think Sky OB is running off someone’s phone hotspot tbf

 

[Hobo]

Decent WiFi for the fans would be a start.

Not that I want to encourage Doug but I'd happily pay a tenner a season for working wifi

Sky might not but I'm pretty sure TNT and Amazon Prime do

I swear they did do them not that long ago.

Seems to be that they blow the speakers almost immediately. Maybe they need more speakers so they can turn them down a bit.

Quicker service at half time especially if we’re getting 30k+ at home

Thanks for that. Interesting

 

[chiefdave]

We've worked out how to get more than 15K in the ground without having to delay kick off, surely this can be fixed.

Pre-match and half-time it seems to take them by surprise that people want to order stuff.

It's like they have a completely different set of staff every game who have no clue what they're doing. You'll ask for the simplest thing and they look lost and half the time they have to go and get a supervisor because they can't work the till or have some other problem.

Full strength Wi-Fi in the Balcony Street Bar, Premier Lounge, and so it should be for the price we have to pay for season tickets.

If you use the arena WiFi now it’s OK but probably cos no one knows the password
