| Just drove past on my way home and they have erected one floodlight in the corner, It looks like they have taken it from the Willows.

Assuming that all 8,000 are full paying adults and no juniors and oap's are inside the ground.

| Just passed the stadium and realised that seating stand is quite shallow, is there any other stadium with stands like this. ? I’m just concerned that I won’t be able to achieve the same view I currently have where I stand in the shed ?

| I stand just before the barriers at the back of the shed, what row(meaning A-Z) would suit me at the new ground, this info would be helpful because the sooner I now the quicker I can put my name down for season tickets.

| I think we are seeing accelerated construction on our stadium, as Buckingham have just picked up the contract for Etihad Campus works, after impressing with other smaller contracts at Eastlands. Still, it looks more impressive each time I see it, and driving past yesterday saw some fellas in a cherry picker installing something on the underside edge of the Main Stand roof, possibly PA or floodlights.
Strangely looking forward to our last game at The Willows. It feels like the end of an old, fairly unsuccessful era and the dawn of a new one where anything is possible. We've all got to believe that this is our time and get a buzz around the club. Can't wait to move into our new home.

| Colchesters new ground (well 2 years old) looks pretty simular to ours with a slightly smaller capacity.

My guess is you can forget getting anywhere near row Z you'd have to have 26 rows for that. Row H maybe ?

| Quote ="hollerslanc"my mate told me about the figures regarding the rent for the stadia, he is usually quite good with his info..
anyway feel free to pick holes out of the following maths, but if we are optamistic for a change and say we can fill the corporate seats for every game and get gates of around 8k at 20 quid a ticket we should be comming away with a nice little proffit.
corporate holds 750@ 75 per head = 56250 x 14 = 787500
8k crowd x 20 = 160000 x 14 = 2240000
add them together (my calculator is in meltdown) = 3027500 then minus costs......'"
You think you will sell 750 corporate at every game ? , at 75 per head ?
And don't forget to knock the VAT off you tickets as well , and that £ 75 corporate will need the cost of the meal taking out , what is the current cost of your corporate at the Willows ? , and what are your booze prices like ? , expect your corporate to have to pay double for a day out at Barton than they currently do

Well no, but then again there's almost an entire island between the north sea and Blackpool tower mate. See your point though.

| Was informed today that the big screen will be situated in the SE corner of the ground which means from the north stand and the west stand you will see it clearly rather than now in the shed when nobody can see it.
