The New scoreboard that we are getting from main road... isn't much different to our old one, just a little bit added above it... I cnat see us spending money on sometihng that isn't really that much of an upgrade. Fans forum meeting said it'd be a big screen running Potters TV! Perhaps we are having a big screen AND a new scoreboard!

Scholes confirms that the BIG screen has arrived! www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_3975310,00.html "The stadium's main reception is also being completely refurbished, while back inside the arena there is a new giant screen due in the next week. Most of the work will be done before the club's Premier League home debut against Aston Villa on August 23, although some of the behind-the-scenes changes will not be completed until the September 13 clash with Everton."

The new speakers have been put up in the south stand, And the tin one's have gone, Should sound a lot better when it's all set up. Dont think the sheeting is going to run down to the front of the boothen and the west stand just new sheeting being put in, So no windbreak.

Sheeting will be in the same place as usual, just less piss-stained.

Was up earlier and all I saw was lots of external painting going on and the main entrance being refurbed! The place was a bee-hive of activity and there must of been alot of other things going on inside aswell. Saw a couple of open exits but didn't venture in as I didn't fancy a bollocking from some angry security guard or simalar! Gotta keep in the good books!!!!

dont really understand the "hopefully" bit of it, surely they know when we are getting it???
or is it just a load of bollocks, and they hope when the season starts we will forget all about it?

THE NEW DUGOUTS ARE IN!
They're a touch underwhelming. Go a little bit further back and overhand a little further. They're also split into three - Home, away and fourth official. Other than that, they're pretty much the same as they've been for the last 10 years. Still, there are no seats in yet, which is probably going to be the big difference as we're apparently having fancy ones?
Saw the extension to the tunnel outside the away stand. Not a lot you can tell about it, it's currently flat-packed in a ring fence.
In the JS lower they seemed to be building a lower roof in the concourse. No idea why.
I had a walk inside the away end today and I can bring you segregation news etc. I can't say that the inside has changed very much at all. There doesn't appear to be any new solid wall up, just the same as the Leicester game - doors with perspex windows along the top. Outside, however, the segregation zone has become apparent. That funny netting stuff has been put up, giving away fans 2/3 of the stand, home fans 1/4 and just less than 1/10 to the netting. The netting is in two 10 x 7 metre strips.
One final bit of news: John Rudge is a crap driver.

believe the lower roof in the JSL is for the building of a press floor

how can you be so sure, when scholes sounded very uncertain, are you trying to tell me you know more of what is happening behind the scenes at stoke than our chief exec ?? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

Scholes was certainly non-committal. Didn't he say something along the lines of "we are still hoping to get a big screen".

Big screen will be ready for the Everton match.

Scholes is hoping it'll be set up by then.

I was hoping it would be there for the Villa game.

the press floor isnt ready until everton. The club have never had a photographers room and they have to now, premier rule!! So they are making a new media room for both reporters and snappers, which is on the 1st floor of the JS stand.

The screens on the V stage and Channel 4 stage at V festival look decent, clear from far away too... I'd be chuffed with something similar
