DS...take the film into Boots and they will process it for you in about 3 days then you can get your Pritstick out and paste them onto your computer screen

Just out of curiosity and I’m asking as you may have the answer. I
was looking over the drawing/plans in detail again on the planning portal.

The south east refurbishment which includes the 2 floor gym/locker room/classroom/shower rooms/Cafe etc. Will these works be completed in the off season this year? Also, will trinity themselves be able to benefit from the gym or will it be exclusive to community use?

I ask this because looking at the plans I think it will drag us forward from a player training facility perspective and I’m sure it will add to a more inviting and professional looking set up for current players/staff and prospective new signings.

Would be great if this was ready for the pre season or season start.

The community hub work will be done when the east stand is fully up and running as need to use the changing rooms etc currently in there till east finished. So at a guess the community hub will be fully completed in off season 2023. Purely guessing but the plans for the gym don’t seem set in stone for me and yet to be fully finalised but if it does become a gym would have to think will be classes/time slot based rather than a turn up and train gym if it’s open to the public or can’t see how it will work with players etc training in there aswell as general public all together

You can now select your seat in the new East Stand if you are a seating season ticket holder.

Went down this afternoon to the shop and we were about the 10th to choose and picked nice seats at the end of a row, near enough on the centre line. An upgrade from previous, when we were sat facing the 20m line at the North stand end.

Chose my seats this afternoon. More or less in the same place as my seats in old stand.

I plan to get my first seating season ticket in many years for the 2024 season when the east stand is ready for a full season. I do hope it’s done on a first come first serve basis for 2024.

Prefer to stand but I may buy a seated ticket or try the hospitality for the odd match when the stand is open.

They usually give existing seat holders first chance of their seats. Then about a month or so later it's open for everyone else.

I go to every home game and a fair few away games and pay on the gate. Used to get a ST years ago but I will be moving to the new stand with a ST for 2024. Will buy early when they’re released to get a good seat and get the pick of where I want.

I think if we can fill the 2500 stand it will be a huge boost for the club, the players and the fans.

Hmm not great for anyone wanting to get a decent seat as a first time purchaser I think it should be first come first serve. So the best seats in the house will likely be unavailable as they’re reserved.

Can’t understand how you can reserve something before it goes on sale. Hope they scrap that.

People who buy a seat get to reserve their seat the following season they have a time frame to purchase their reserved seat. If the do not pay for it , it goes back in the pot. Those reserving now for next year will keep their reserved seat for as long as they pay for it be it one season or twenty

Reserving something is choosing or picking it before it goes on general sale.

People who pay in year 1 get preference in year 2 etc.

Those who have historically paid more / paid upfront deserve a preference.

Ever so slight tangential here, but...the term "pre-order" boils my .

If it's available, you can buy it.

If it's not available, you can order it.

You can't pre-order something.

I'm really not sure it will be such a big issue. If we genuinely fill the centre of the seating area with "pre ordered-reserved" tickets I think everyone will be overjoyed.

I had the same seat in the East stand for 45 years. Never been an issue before. Now controversy because it's a new stand!

But it isn’t on sale. As said above the ST holders get to pick it before it goes on general sale sale (1 month). The ST holders purchase their ticket for that season so it should end once that seasons done and it should be first come first serve for the following season.

If you pay in year 1 that’s for year 1. Not the priveledge of reserving a seat the following year too.

But that’s exactly what I aim to do. Pay upfront for a choice of where I want to sit. If where I prefer is taken because I got beat to the punch and didn’t have the opportunity because it was reserved 1 month before general sale then I think that’s a bit poor.

It’s fine if your in that position where you can continually reserve the same seat.

That said it’s a new stadium. If I buy a seating ST now for next season can I choose any seat I want in the new stand?

If that’s the case I may buy a seated one and continue to stand in north stand till east stand opens and just keep my seat for years to come if that’s how it does work.

I will be overjoyed. I want the club to succeed. I want to change to the new seating stand when it’s built to help make it a home fortress but would like a pretty good seat near centre that’s all.

Suppose if it’s only 500 or so seated ST holders it might not be much of an issue.

Not controversy at all, just me asking some questions so I can get the seat I want and expressing my opinion. I’m just surprised that’s how it works and want to select my seat when they go on general sale without handing hundreds unavailable on release in the best positions.

I sincerely hope you will not get the same seat in the new stand… somewhere near where it was maybe

Yes, I've got it almost in the same place.

We are now into the third week of October, JM in his latest interview said hopefully the steelworks would start being erected in October. Has anyone who passes BV regularly noticed any activity or girders being delivered on site. At the moment the Autumn weather is good, let’s hope the work on the steelwork starts soon.

Not noticed anything when I passed last week.

I went past yesterday, scaffolding up for screen, work ongoing in the North Stand, entrance to car park has had some trenches dug out. Still excavators on site no sign of steelwork as yet on the new stand

He didn't say what part of October though, we still have nearly two weeks of October left yet
