Lags Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Can someone tell me why there are a section of darker shade of blue seats? or is it a trick of the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 nice view... Having seen so many views from across the pitch and the car park this is a really good image to see how it'll be for others on match days. It does fit in quite nicely. The grey parts above and below the windows are crying out for something to cover them. A clock, some flags/banners, a scoreboard, writing etc. I'm sure that sort of thing will be the last addition but it looks a bit like an office block at the moment without. Hopefully they have some plans for that section. Worth a look at Preston's latest stand for ideas. Advertising all the way. It might not look great advertising Gordon's Automatic Pie Machine across the front of a shiny new stand, but there are bills to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

External executive seating was the impression I got. Dark blue cushions sellotaped to the plastic, or maybe something a little more high tech.

NewBlue Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Advertising all the way. It might not look great advertising Gordon's Automatic Pie Machine across the front of a shiny new stand, but there are bills to pay. Given that 70% of fans will be sitting in the new stand, what business would be daft enough to advertise on it? Better to adorn the Main Stand, for the direction that most fans are looking for the 90 minutes... I'm behind the banners/flags on the lower grey section and writing and a clock on the upper grey section. That said, if the stand is named the Gordon's Automatic Pie Machine Stand, then I'll pass on enscription... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't have the reach of a Superbowl advert, but around a million people watch the football league highlights each week. Not to mention the YouTube and Latics Player exposure which will get a good amount of coverage locally. On a smaller level there will also be photographs in the newspapers, programmes, websites.

While taking the cynical view is often wise, I think the power of the direction the TV camera points will be a key consideration for any significant advertising spend.

Those grey sections are miles too high for the cameras to reach, unless the club point the camera so it includes all the new stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be right there, although I have a suspicion this could be our new permanent camera angle.

That's not always how advertising works though is it? I've always thought that it's often more a case of drilling a brand's name into your subconscious so that when you do eventually require marine cargo insurance you instantly plump for NMU.

It's too distant - can't distinguish between players at all - but if there's money involved there's little most clubs won't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't it will be staying where it is, there was only one game last season where highlights were filmed from the north stand and that was scunthorpe at home.

Scapegoat Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think the dreams of craft beer were always fanciful, and I whilst I genuinely love a decent beer it would not be a decisive factor in attending games or not. Though being honest it would possibly make the difference between getting to the game a bit earlier to have a drink or not, but I would have thought that I would be in the minority. Stand looks good, but I am a little concerned about the impact it might have on the atmosphere if too many of our fans go there. A "one sided" stadium could end up being less atmospheric than a 3 sided one. Anyone have any idea on the split of the ST sales across the 3 home ends?

oafc1955 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I was told last week we had sold nearly 2900 so at a guess, North stand 1700 Main 600 RRE 500 RRE Fam 100 ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsChris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Chesterfield have installed that bottoms-up thing I don't like the manic look in that bloke's eyes whilst he speaks about "bottoms up". Also, it's just not right. There's only one hole in a beer glass for a reason. If it's got two holes it's a tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll not be saying that when you can get three pints in at half time because it doesn't take 14 of the 15 minutes to actually get served!
