I take it this isn’t now happening with the time scale that’s left? They started them last season a day or two after the season finished didn’t they? Shame if they don’t finish what they started though. Especially as one of them is my seat 😂

Someone should tell the club to stop fucking about with the stadium. Every time we mess with the stadium, we end up getting relegated
Roof blew off Butler St Stand - melt down ending in relegation Move to the Brit - we end up in League 1 New corner - relegated to the Championship

Not sure why you'd want the new seats unless you're a midget. They lean further back so give less leg room.

It has Stoke written all over it that 75% of the stadium has new seats and the other has the old faded seats. Again makes everything look done on the cheap.

I'd rather we spent the cash on the pitch to be fair. I'm not sure how much those seats would cost but whatever the cost, if it could be put towards an extra player or a higher quality player then do that.
Seats can wait until we're back in amongst the TV money.

Plenty of time to install them imagine they were ordered before we were relegated I think you are probably right. Not only are there far fewer seats to install this summer but there is very little other work scheduled to be done on the stadium. Last summer there were two new high level wheelchair bays in the corners together with access lifts plus one new corner seating 1,800. All the existing bays were upgraded with wheelchair lifts and there were 2 or 3 (?) new pitch side bays plus the new studio in the Main stand/Boothen corner. There is clearly plenty of time to replace the seats in the main stand.

I was under the impression that the only reason they were not done last season was because there wasn't enough made at the time the company that makes them were extremely busy and could not supply over 20 thousand seats all at once so they said they would be done this summer i could be completely wrong though 🙄

I think they should rip all the seats out of the Upper West Stand and replace them with rocking chairs.
Maybe add some dressing gowns, blankets & slippers
And zopiclone with the Bovril.

Dunno what the problem Is, there is usually a wide choice and indeed section to choose from either 75 minutes on or when a 2nd goal goes in against us.
My seat the fuckin roof leaks, might ask for a courtesy brolly from the shop.

I'm pretty sure the roof blowing off the Butler Street stand wasn't a case of the club "messing with the stadium". Not having the requisite insurance is certainly messing with something. H I thought that had recently been turned into a myth, and it was the banks that were calling in the loans the reason we had to sell players.

Why are people mithering about new seats in the big stand. They are all covered with tartan travel blankets most of the time. What they really need is shelves fitted to the back of the seats to rest hip flasks and packets of Waitrose prawn sandwiches on.
