Poseidon Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The non used stairs at the back of the stand were frustrating when they could have been used to allow quicker exit. How many sets of stairs are there at the back, 2? Frustrating if one set is reserved for the TV studio folk when used and the other for a couple of dozen in the directors box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big screens are more often than not, fitted when new stands/stadiums especially in this day and age, are constructed and are part of the design infrastructure. It's no big deal but it dates the stadium already. Yes, the Wheatfield tunnel is temporary but, into the new stands third season, I thought it'd be for the first season only to get the stadium up and running. 19 hours ago, Cruickshank for Scotland said: The delay to finishing the dressing room had sod all to do with poor design - it was purely financial. As for corporate glass boxes - I hate them! Fair enough, I don't do corporate anyway but I know a few people that do. It was them that mentioned it, I couldn't give a monkeys whether there are any or not. 16 hours ago, 1953 said: Why do we need scoreboards, even when we won 10-0 I managed to keep count. So does everyone else but again like the first reply regarding big screens..it's the modern thing to do. I sit where there have been a fair amount of foreign fans turning up in category B games (McLeod St stand) these last couple of years and quite a few have asked around us, "who is number...(whatever)" and "what number is...so & so" Kids, as new fans have as well. If there were screens with the team list up on it they would see for themselves. Like the second reply...doesn't bother me, it's not a complaint but more of an observation.

Some debate around flow of fans since then (direct from Ann). Will be fully operational from new season but TV box stolen one exit and probably some restrictions for directors so not that confident about much improvement exiting. Hopefully this season we will be in Les of a rush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why you can't buy a programme in the ground. Also in the old stand the team sheet used to be posted on the concourse. Does that still happen in the new stand - not noticed it? And the other stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame they couldn't look at using the exit at the corner of wheatfield and school end. Probably won't as it might damage the grass pitch behind wheatfield stand.

Heard clubs' are doing away with them soon as they don't sell as well as they used to years ago. 3 hours ago, Devorgilla said: Except I don’t think you can do that once in the ground? If that is the case seems rather odd. I remember the Planet Hearts paper from the mid-2000s. Had to get them from newsagents, would've been a much more successful publication if they had been sold in the ground as well. You'd expect a few thousand to've been sold on matchday. Another money-making opportunity squandered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 This last thing I will ever want to do on this thread is be negative but I am another who is disappointed that big screens weren't a feature of the initial design. I'd have been happy if AB had said to supporters, if you want big screens, fundraise £1m for them. I'd have chipped in £100 straight off. Isnt it possible to get a sponsor for them? Not a big issue, just a wee disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
