Re: New Corner Stands
The thinner seats increate the capacity slightly too. They'll be the same size as the other plastic seats in the rest of the stadium, I'd imagine.Quickenthetempo wrote:They look nice and shiny but quite skinny compared to the wooden ones.

Re: New Corner Stands
They should have done away with the old entrance to the tunnel gangway, could have got some more seats in.

Are you getting mixed up with the stairs to the old players box?
As CT says there is nothing left of the old tunnel

Re: New Corner Stands
Is there any chance that someone could provide a couple of pictures from inside the ground showing what the new corner stands now look like?
Re: New Corner Stands
Am I right in thinking Ladbrokes can no longer have their advertising plastered over the stand? Plus, we’ll have to change the Puma banners too?

Re: New Corner Stands
I was in there today but didn’t take any. One between Longside & Jimmy Mac doesn’t look far away from being complete but the other is nothing like ready although the glass front is now in place for the new control box on the top floor.Corky wrote:Is there any chance that someone could provide a couple of pictures from inside the ground showing what the new corner stands now look like?
I went in the ticket office for a nosy too and it is very similar to what we used to have but there are more terminals for when it is busy.

They have finished a complete housing estate on Sycamore Avenue whilst they've been
p!ssing about with these compulsory structures.
I hope they are on a penalty contract.

I’d imagine in 10 years that space will be repurposed anyway.

But even Burnley Cinema have the technology to have you choose your seats on the computers in the Cinema entrance, pay and print your ticket there and then. No staff needed.

Some work still to be done on the Longside corner but will be complete for the opening league game of the season.Bosscat wrote:Bob Lord corner a long way off, and still a lot of work being done on Longside Corner (I was there this morning and had a sneaky peeky no pics though)
No idea when the Bob Lord corner one will be finished though.
Re: New Corner Stands
The length of time it's taking to put these 2 (TWO) corner stands up is a bit of a joke. The Empire State Building was thrown up in just over 13 months, and that was 90 years ago.

Yes, that area now seems to be away seating. So as said earlier, don't know the purpose of the entrance/exit steps to that area? Unless it gives entry to the stand from the away area underneath?AndyClaret wrote:but the directors box is no longer there.

It certainly does look odd to me as well, it doesn't blend in, in any way, shape or form.
Looks like it's just been plonked there over night.

Re: New Corner Stands
I don't think the corner stand looks too bad of itself. What really doesn't work is the contrast between the quite modern looking black cladding on the new bit and the cheap and nasty cladding on the main stand. To make the whole thing stand together they need to use a consistent range of finishes.

Re: New Corner Stands
I agree on the cladding. The cassette cladding on the new corners is more expensive and looks are better than the older cheap cladding. If we’re going for a black and grey look then fine, do the entire ground. Just add colour by a couple of stripes here and there, or new BFC signage.
It’s due a fresh look, but right now the corners don’t fit in.

Am I ok to call it crap looking, cheaply built and terribly overdue now?
I remember getting castrated for being a miserable git when the plans came out.), and it was quite clear what the end result would be.
The best thing to do in these situations when BFC are concerned is, think the worst, think the cheapest, think the oddest and you'll be either right, or every know again slightly surprised , which you can call a bonus.

Re: New Corner Stands
I’m finding it difficult to care. I spend 20 seconds walking past it on a match day and that’s the only time I’ll see it. Looks fine from inside the ground.

Re: New Corner Stands
Just spoken to a friend of mine who is going to have to move into the corner stand this season due to an illness. He’s received an invitation today to go and see the new facilities later this month.
