Well, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from the new corner....
I have been to the corporate gathering tonight and the stadium looks like a proper footie ground at long last. It really is an incredible change and seems to add to the stadium as a whole rather than just a minor improvement. The pitch looks unbelievable too... lets we can have a marquee signing to grace it soon !
Well done Stoke

I've been wondering what would happen with the block numbers in the South stand.
Having just checked my purchase history on the Stoke site, it seems my seat which was in block 35 is now in block 37 (makes sense) My season card still says block 35 though, so wonder if they'll send out new ones to Southstanders?

Wasn't the last time major structural work was done i.e. when it was built, was the season we got relegated?

Said a few months ago to the old man that it would be easy to underestimate the difference the new corner would make to the ground as a whole. Looks great in the photos and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I wondered why I'd received a new card! On closer inspection I've moved from Block 36 to 38 so the answer to your question must be yes.

If that's correct, then obviously you are going to be entitled to some sort of refund.
Having said that, I've just been on the scfcdirect.com though (to check if the claim is correct) and it won't even offer me any seats for sale anywhere for that match (Jeez how I hate that website!).
Yeah will ring up just haven't got round to it yet. All very strange.... Did you get on the blower.? Looks like the bloke was right about discounted tickets

Looks like inside the ground such as the railings and the side of the stands have had a good luck of paint too. It's gonna look fresh and brand new for next season.

It will be interesting to see if the corner has any effect on the acoustics. It should hopefully improve the noise. ?

The improvements are excellent and I think look great. It will be a great day for the first home game to go and see it in person for all you lucky souls. Not sure when my first game will be this season yet (and as it often seems to be it could be an away game anyway - often hard to reconcile my Europe trips with the fixtures....)

Not that how our ground looks is particularly important but it looks a whole lot better now.

I wonder if safe standing comes in that's the area they pick to introduce it? Be nice 😬
Wonder what it'll do to the wind issues?
I think the atmosphere will be even better! Can't wait 😬

I just hope it sells out. There are no excuses for it not to. Cheap tickets, playing a side we hate etc. Would be awesome to start the season with a sell out.

And if it doesn't and there's a few hundred empty seats no doubt you'll be on telling us what a waste of time it was filling in the corner on the basis of one game....

I think the fact we're doing a deal to sell the Arsenal game speaks volumes tbh! But clearly it's what it needs and hopefully it will get even more kids going and not being Vale fans. So that's good.

Does anybody know how much the new corner stand costs?
Is it in the region of 20 million quid???
Only from the outside, it looks like the club are happy to build the corner stand and then sell arnie to pay for it
