I attended a 1901 presentation today, i expect most of the following is old news but in case anyone didn't know any of it ...
The £93 million total build cost has now reached £100 million because the chairman signs off upgrades and improvements almost every day to ensure the stadium has the very best of everything.
They have sold about 10% of the new East stand 1901 club seats and they are expecting quite a lot of the platinum holders in the West stand that ended up with seats on the ends of the stand, to transfer to the East stand, thus opening up some more West stand seats. They are doing it to be fair to the west stand holders as the East stand seats, all near enough on the half way line, were not available when they had to chose.
The Platinum facilities in the East stand will be at the same high level as the original West stand. The only difference is that the East will not have parking spaces, i didn't ask if you can transfer any spaces ou have from the West if you chose to transfer over.
The drawings for the bar areas look much better than ai imagined. I thought they would be an opening in a concrete wall in the walkway, but they appear to all have proper seating areas and bars, can't wait. The seating areas are sectioned and each area has its own bar.
Season tickets and prices will be available SOON! that's all they would say.
The caterers are a French company that do Rangers and WBA.
Thats all i can remember at the moment, I was a bit gutted as the whole thing took place in a portacabin and i was hoping to get a look around, but it was not to be.
