Was supposed to be opened in October. Aye did BB not allude to that in one of his recent interviews? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that interview in the record that it'll be open by the end of the season. Just now it's housing executive scaffolding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme S Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I thought it actually looked as though the building works had gone backwards and some of the construction had been removed? I did hear that the longer term plan was to extend the boxes all the way along? Interesting in many ways as it would busy up other areas of the stadium and could create a better atmosphere as well as making the place look much busier? It's mentioned elsewhere but I cant quite see how a training pitch would fit in around the car park? Of course the shop could be re located? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the whole shebang is being done in the oner, but the 1st 3 blocks of that back section will be boxes. The press might need to re-employ Gillon Carruthers to see round the edge of the boxes nearest the press area. 2 minutes ago, Graeme S said: I thought it actually looked as though the building works had gone backwards and some of the construction had been removed?

But during the summer when I was in the shop, I was told you couldn't buy seasons for the 1st 3 sections as they were all to be turned into boxes, and that there may be some 'encroachment' into the press area visibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense.Also BB is a very sensible businessman so would likely see how popular and succesful the first stage is prior to taking it to the next level. It was also rumoured that SC wouldn't allow construction work to take place whilst the team was trainig as the noise was a distraction.Now that is what I call professional from SSC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Wonder if the players will take up the options on them - hmmmm! Liverpool players contracts written in that they all need to take a box at cost of 300k a season but it does fit 18 people and come with 5 star chef and free food and drink 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1killiefan Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Looks like it's finished. From the East Stand can see similar seats to those in the dug-out, but seems to be two pillars built, which must restrict the view! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw any pillars but the Ricaro seats are installed & the inside appears fitted out, there is an extension added to the right-hand side, which I never noticed before, possibly the bar/hospitality area or staircase from downstairs?

piffer Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 It’s starting to look the part but I still don’t understand why they put it there. It must be one of the worst views in the stadium.
