spyinthesky Posted 2 January, 2018 Share Posted 2 January, 2018 I think it's to do with the hospitality suites. Nothing we'll notice. That wouldn't surprise me I guess that only about 10 of the 47 boxes are pre sold this season due to the ridiculously high prices At least 2 of the boxes have become merged into one bigger box and the idea may be to extend this idea and also freshen up the corporate areas Certainly no chance of extending capacity with the dross being served up on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the case and are you able to share any of it with the fans? I feel like we've been kept treading water for a few years, and banking monies to pay off Kat and get us purchased. Also that our investor is really nothing but bad news sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past it has been totally ripped up and relaid, but on this occasion it looks like it has just been heavily scarified to me - which I think the grounds staff tweeted about - and then it would presumably be reseeded.

I have also suggested whoever chooses the music should have a look at the age profile as there are a few longstanding supporters like me have to suffer enough in respect of the dross on the pitch without having to put up with some of the modern repetitive stuff at max volume which seems to be de rigeur lately.
