duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I have great seats in the Lower Gwlady but it’s taken me years and several moves to get them It’s kind of like a little community because I’ve been sitting next to the same people for years. I was hoping they would just say ok you are in GT3/4 now so you can all move en masse to the equivalent are in the South stand Romey 1878 and Wiggytop 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the same as Goodison though right? No decent seats available in the main stand in the middle. To be fair, they would be the best seats in the house so they should be sold at a premium if the club want to make more money. Just try to get in the upper east stand?

Not really, I’m on Top Balcony and pretty much on the centre line, 10 to 15 rows high up would have been good if a little quiet, as it stands it will be very quiet in that area. I have put upper east as first choice then west either side of the corporates as 2nd and 3rd. I’ve also asked if they will be selling the seat from Goodison once we vacate, I’m desperate to have mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully yes, the main part of the survey was asking for preferences on how ST will be allocated. 1 How long they have been held ( my choice ) 2 First come first served 3 Ballot 4 No of away games attended ( I think, can’t remember exactly).

My job has always been based around a workshop, with an office, well actually it was five workshops with five small teams in the last few years of that job. But a few years ago I changed to a slightly different position in a very different company, with a much bigger and field based team. My office is now across the landing facing my bedroom and in the driveway. But should you need to refresh your tooling, give me a shout. I might know some people.

Wiggytop Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I was over in Liverpool on Monday looking for a new car, drove along Derby Rd a few times, the ground is looking really impressive from their, went down to Regent Rd, and close up its just awesome, with the roof shape finished. It gave me goose bumps, leaving Goodison will be an emotional day, moving in to BM will be equally so. Matt, Palfy and StevO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave me goose bumps, leaving Goodison will be an emotional day, moving in to BM will be equally so. The roof seemed a lot lower than the initial images had led me to believe, which was my biggest criticism at first glance. I thought the drawings looked like a flying saucer had parked on one of the old warehouses! But seeing it in real life the roof doesn't seem that way and, with it being more sunk into the design than i thought, its almost intimidating. I'm a convert and very happy my initial reaction was very wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 They have lowered the roof slightly from the first design. But probably not enough to make it obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Out of interest, has anybody see any sort of projections of what sort of additional revenue the new stadium is expected to generate per year.? It will have increase capacity, probably an across the board ticket price increase, significant corporate packages, increase general match day spending in and around the stadium, non footballing events. 20-30m a year? More? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they took the car park off the west stand they lowered the roofs highest point, by changing the degree of the curve. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
