I think SDD is here most days.Dont speak too soon Dibs. I'll expect the prophet of doom will rear his head prior to Saturday.

Perhaps a “ Premium Seat “ is just a cherry red one and not just faded pink ?kill the atmosphere but more premium seats.
What’s not to love?
Bill did mention improvements that can be continued to be made to Dean Court in the short term so I would imagine this would be part of that .On a different thread I said that the original plans for DC allowed for hospitality boxes along the back of the East Stand similar to those in the Main stand. As soon as the admin staff move out from the area behind the east stand I can see that happening. Needs very little structurally to enable a large area to be opened up on match daly
If BF is only planning to stay at DC for four more seasons, and assuming that a second floor could be added this summer to the block behind the east stand to provide more hospitality boxes (a fairly big if!) ready for next season, a quick back-of-the-fag-packet calculation suggests that this would not generate much, if any, income over and above that required to pay for it in the first place.Bill did mention improvements that can be continued to be made to Dean Court in the short term so I would imagine this would be part of that .
Making the assumption that is it marginally profitable it would also be a good segway into boxes into the new ground. Give those who are already subscribed first dibs in the new stadium and will shrink the problem of having to fill a bunch of boxes when the new stadium arrives.If BF is only planning to stay at DC for four more seasons, and assuming that a second floor could be added this summer to the block behind the east stand to provide more hospitality boxes (a fairly big if!) ready for next season, a quick back-of-the-fag-packet calculation suggests that this would not generate much, if any, income over and above that required to pay for it in the first place.
Twelve boxes might generate approx £2million+ revenue over the four seasons, which is probably not a lot different from the cost of constructing the additional floor combined with the costs of reconfiguring the two existing floors to provide different types of accommodation from that already there.
Is it worth it, or are there more efficient ways of spending £2m to generate extra revenue until the new stadium is built?

I would imagine, additional premium seating in the current stadium will be about the additional services wrapped around an existing seat such as dining, drinks, meet the player, free programme, stadium tour etc plus a nice padded cushion added to the seat - all charged at a marked up premium whilst building a sales funnel of people to target for boxes in the new stadium.If BF is only planning to stay at DC for four more seasons, and assuming that a second floor could be added this summer to the block behind the east stand to provide more hospitality boxes (a fairly big if!) ready for next season, a quick back-of-the-fag-packet calculation suggests that this would not generate much, if any, income over and above that required to pay for it in the first place.

One thing is noticeable is that there are now far fewer empty seats. A lot better at maximising what we have

Bill said we would sign a young Ecuadorian player.Bill said we wouldn’t get relegated. We weren’t.
Bill said we’d improve each year. Only one year but we have.
We have a really promising training ground being delivered which will hopefully lead to a new stadium.
Sure, there are gripes and issues which are mentioned, but that’s not a bad big picture view in my book.
Bill said we would sign a young Ecuadorian player.
We Didn't
A man of his word, but don't trust everything he says.
Lol, so he spoke too soon about a signing that fell through. Who cares?
It was clearly a retort to another poster who claimed everything Bill said was 100 per cent factual.
It clearly isn't.
You are such a sad individual SDD.
I don't need to patronize you.
You are yet again fighting for fights sake.

Oh do give it up.you miserable old fool.
You want an argument with anyone, or everyone.
Doesn't matter to you.
My point was, that everything Bill says isn't always the truth.
Perhaps try it yourself one day.
