New dug outs

Why aren't they sponsored?............
Takes off shoes and tip toes away.

The dugouts boast a 100% win record. They can stay.

At least we have a 100% win record with the new dug outs.

The subs who came on made a positive contribution - so must have had a small effect on their being warmed up when they came on.

How the hell do you see anything sitting in those lower seats behind them.

[Duncan Shaw]

I guess they'll be sponsored soon enough!

They're a bit gaudy looking.

The roof of the new dugout is lower than the old one. The view of the pitch is now better for those sat in front of me (I'm right behind the Villa bench in row 9)

They have a strip of mood lighting on them too... Very Sarah Beeney.

Interesting how the 4th official has 2 seats behind him for sky. It's so they can advise the timing of penalties when playing the top money teams no doubt

I was trying to explain to my son yesterday that the bench used to be just that - a small wooden bench resting against the wall at the front of the Witton Lane Stand, with a bucket of cold water next to it in case anyone got injured. And if a player did get crocked the trainer would run on with bucket and sponge.
The more I said, the dafter it all sounded.

Me, and I guess one or two others on here can remember when the bench was just a bench and situated where it is now; in front of the old Trinity.  A bucket of water and a sponge and nobody had ever heard of the anterior cruciate ligament.

I hope they're carbon neutral

As they look like car seats then how about offering replicas as car seats. Maybe with a tie-in with Fiat who are a club partner.

That's a revenue stream that wouldn't rely on selling the soul of the club, unlike this bullshit rename the Holte nonsense.

[DeKuip]

Did anyone ever find out who won the old ones?

Blyth Spartans are going to use them as a temporary away stand.
