Ground improvements

[blue is the colour]

Was down at the KP yesterday and had a wander all the way around, noticed out the back all the light pilled up and stacks of old cable ready to be dumped. So looks like new floodlights!

Well if the plan is for that stand to be redeveloped beginning next summer then perhaps the new lighting arrangement would avoid the east stand  (If thats feasible )

Maybe also a new PA system in place by the end of pre-season?

Better 4G signal also on my wishlist.

 

One can only hope.

The ability to be able to communicate with the outside world or check scores at half time would be brilliant

They should switch it on at HT.

 

People on their phones during the game should be prevented

That's not the fault of the club.

No argument for that now as the scoreboard updates us all during the game.

The scores are shown during the game and at halftime on the screens

Prem scores are, any other league isn't.

Not saying it is. Just find it weird that 3G/4G on a matchday is so slow, surely can't just be down to so many people trying to access the net before a game, at half-time or after a match?

 

What they could surely do is install signal boosters and/or offer free Wi-Fi (once you're inside the stadium, for instance (access code after having passed the turnstiles)). That'd be a start.

It's a little bit of a battery killer, but if you get an app that refreshes scores during the game, you can get your scores ready for the half-time 4G rush, barring any 45+5 goals or something.

It is completely down to so many people trying to access it, It’s over crowding the local masts of which there isn’t many

also Bare in mind you have a crowd of around 32k then you have the local businesses and residents trying to access it as well it’s not an unusual issue go to any big event and it’s the same exact problem

Although it is possible to sort the issue as EE and o2 have proved with Wembley and the o2 arena

That won't happen as it's Premier League regulations to have lights all around the stadium, hence why we moved a load of lights to the family stand and kop when we got promoted.

Upgrading the lights to be LEDs for TV purposes. The brightness, colour consistency and lack of flickering is needed for good quality slow motion footage.

God I hope not. Arsenal and Hull do them which is all that needs to be said about that!
