I assume they will be expensive. Like the new west upper.

Im guessing regular folk will be on north and south lower and perhaps east and west upper.
and the FA want away fans near the pitch to try and counteract the deterioration of stadium atmosphere...
heres hoping the south stand counters this and if the loyal members (park lane and park lane end shelf side) go in the north stand lower next to the away lot then should keep the temperature up

Long story short the most expensive seats will be on the lower tier on this stadium. The least expensive on the top tiers. Other way around compared to today. Thats probably why the atmosphere is so shit at the emirates. The hardcore fans are disconnected from the pitch

Nice post. I think the away fans would be better in a corner in the south. Then the Park lane, shelf side and away are all together like current set up.

Although I suppose the away fans in the north stand could spread the atmosphere about a bit.


The away fans were moved on 'request' of the police and formed part of their agreement or the granting ofbplanning permission.

Isn't the corner of south stand part of the kop?

I think the roof support may be coming down this week :) Lee Roswell mentioned he has a crane in there this week and I asked if to remove the roof support, and he liked the tweet - looks like that is a yes!

This is the first revelation that contradicts the idea that the stadium has been designed for a good atmosphere. If you wanted a good atmosphere you really wouldn't put the prawn sandwich brigade closest to the pitch.

Will this mean we also might have embarrassing empty seats at the start of the second half like they do at Wembley?

What the one in the south West corner at 5:30 Saturday?

I'm not sure I agree with this. Looking at the link posted by @HotspurSam, excluding the away supporters and the South Stand the breakdown for the lower tier is:

1,873 seats are for "Club Levels"
12,171 seats are for General Admission
So only about 15%

It's only really the middle tier of the East and West that are the "Prawn sandwich brigade" while all the North and South are GA/away supporters

i really hope (not) we not only get flags but imagine those clappers they hand out at Leicester:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

we all know 1 stand will have the least atmosphere will be the west, but really hope we get the right mob in the kop, and a decent atmosphere coming from the north and east, just like the old days

Daniel would appear to be doing everything right in providing us with the best stadium we could possibly have hoped for - with comparisons made with various stadia to ensure all is spot on.

He knows atmosphere is key, which is why we are getting the mega kop - I'm sure he wouldn't let the prospect of tons of corporate money spoil it all.

Need to put all the mobile filming tourists in the same block, far away from me too!

Just returned from WHL offices, where I was introduced to the VIP seating pricing. These seats will be in the middle ring around the stadium on the east and west stands only and are a total of 6000. £3000 + vat seats all gone a few £2750+ vat seats left in the corners.
the rest of the seat are priced as follows £3600,£4250,£5000 and £6000 all + VAT. the VIP seating is also on the lower ties on either side of the players tunnel all the way to pitch side. This entitles the VIP members finger food/buffet before the match and complimentary drinks at Half time. They are planning on using places like IKEA for parking and free shuttle bus in to ground from there, they are sourcing 6/7 satellite parking areas for VIP members so free parking if required.All seats with have USB charging ports....LOL
VIP seating will also have access to various restaurants run by the Roux family.

The 55 boxes are now all sold the dearest being £300k per season on 3 year contract!!!!

One thing that I can confirm is the colour of the seats....all the seats will be a dark navy/blue black, I have a photo of the seat ( if someone would be so kind, no idea on how to upload the photo...so help) will try and upload later.

Another snippet, work force at present is 600 and staring in January will be in excess of 1200 when the work on the internals and M & E begin.

Steels will start arriving in January for the floors above level 5, as it looks the north stand is only about 3/4 pours from being ready for the steels.

From what I have seen today, we can be pretty sure that this will be the best stadium, without doubt in the UK, and probably Europe...

Just remembered another snippet...the NFL tunnel in the east stand will have retractable seats installed in football mode.

I presume the 61,461 seats are excluding those retractable ones.
Would love if there were exactly 39 retractable seats so we have a round 61,500 capacity in football mode.

In NFL mode we lose the first few rows of the South stand, so probably 60k for NFL.
