Man City building their new stand behind the current one as well. £17 odd for a double pint of Moretti at Leeds Arena too.

Why are they building a new stand when they cannot fill their ground now?

Looks like the Corner FLag has been resurrected for next season.
£185 a game to sit in the North Lower !

And it's unlikely you'd be sitting.

I was there last night with my best mate, who is football agnostic, and his brother who is a Blues ST holder, but otherwise a totally sound guy. 

As we were walking up from Aston Station he quipped "this will be one of the last gigs at VP" cue we had a bit of bantz about my skepticism that they will never build it, and his belief that they will.  But we had a really good chat about things for both of us, and from his POV their new owners have got everything right off the pitch (apparently have spent millions on the shit-tip) but are a car crash on it, and ours recently are the other way round.  We both agreed concluded that VP is a great "arena" when you are sitting watching the game, but so much of the rest of the experience is really not fit for purpose now for a major sporting establishment, and if they actually ever do build it (I said IF!!) , we will lose any "leisure" stuff like last night to a more modern arena. Even he was peddling the line that it will be a "city centre" venue though, which I just don't have any truck with at all.

I've been to 2 of the Foos gigs on this tour and I would imagine plenty others would have been at London, or Cardiff and many of the concert goers would have found our facilities wanting.

Which is why I do not understand how so many here are perfectly fine with Heck coming out and saying that he decided last November that doing the new stand was a bad idea and we are instead watching them invest in making our shittest stand a more of a GA+ experience.

What are they playing at?

I don’t necessarily disagree with you on much about Heck, but how come it is all you post about? A single issue poster, if you like.

Why haven’t they painted the gangway steps white of the Adidas logo to complete the look. It looks like the lower gangways are painted white. Could just be new or cleaned concrete though.

Only just seen this Star and Lion thing. I wondered what that square in the upper North was going to be used for.

What’s wrong with that ?
Do we have to be so fucking negative with everything the club does ? FFS, its just the name of a hospitality area.
