Have the electronic advertising boards been installed then? What's the thing by the scoreboard? And why are the logos covered? Great pics btw, have some karma.

I didn't take them a friend did
I think the 'thing by the scoreboard' is what the new screen will be placed on or supported by?
the logos are covered as they are painting the area around them and don't want to splash any paint onto them

I'm not too keen on the new club badge. Why the flip is it yellow?

Been up again today the reception is nearly completed and looks mint, with a very flash Stoke badge on the back wall and a picture of Sir Stanley to the left with another to go to the right not sure who this is going to be. There are no electronic ad boards yet just the old metal ones around the perimeter track. ![](http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/1416/img091hc4.jpg)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do some of you get these interior shots? I go past the stadium quite often, like today, and had a nose around and saw the the gap between Block 19 and JS open and the other day the gap by the tunnel open. Do you just walk in until you get told to get out? I know the club don't mind exterior shots of The Brit, but interior especially with work going on?

There is normally at least one fire/exit gate open get your phone set to camera, then make out your texting or making a call walk in see who's about if there aren't many folk about walk into the seated area and jobs a good un. If there's anyone about carry on 'texting' have a quick chat with them wait for them to go then take your pics, can sometimes take some balls and some creative talk.

Thanks for the pics, wow the stadium (like the pillars ) look really clean and white from the outside!! It will look great when the new scoreboard is in place.
Could do with getting a powerhose on those mossy green bricks though.

Are we going to change the sign in the corner wher the scoreboard is as it currently looks very tacky and broken and says Welcome to Britannia St ium

I was expecting to see some sort of segregation on the South Stand end, even if it was only a couple of sets of rails or 4 feet high fences.
All I can see so far is some cling film running down the "O" on Stoke City, hardly going to stop West Ham is it...

I heard Cass and co actually have a phobia about cling film. Great photos above but confused why the set from 'The last of the Summer wine' ![](http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg229/zippymd/victoria_web.jpg)

Whilst on my way home tonight I noticed they had a crane/skylift up and all the flagpoles had been taken down off the top (this is on the A50 elevation) so i'm wondering if they are getting the flags ready to go up.
I check for the flags every day so that's how I noticed.
Not much I know, but it's something.

I always wondered why we got rid of the flags to be honest. Always made the ground look that little bit better ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/ibnJJzaA6ZhfTOIekEAf.gif)

Yeah, I did read the minutes of the meeting when they were published and that's why I check every day when i'm on my way to and from work (sad fucker, I know).
I always get excited thinking 'this is the day, the day I see the flags flying' but then get disappointed when I drive past and there's still no flags, so imagine my excitement for tomorrow - There might actually be flags flying, yay!
Not to take anything away from your post, cheers and thanks anyway!

We should have Barclay's Premier League flag in the middle.
Stoke and whoever we play that week either side.
And the Britannia flags at both ends.
Won't happen of cause, but good idea eh eh eh

It'll look very tidy on TV, more than can be said for the "Ester Chem" logos in the Boothen and that ridiculous flourescent yellow sign in the away end.

Is it my eyes or does It look like we have a lovely wide screen tv in the corner above the scoreboard showing a film about trees? ![](http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/1416/img091hc4.jpg)
