Been to a few ladies games both pre and post money and to be honest not impressed but if it's sunny and nothing to do will pop down again.....looks like watching crappy CLL standard cricket will have to keep me amused while having a beer.

In Flickr click on an individual picture and then click on the 'Share Photo' link in the bottom right corner (the right facing arrow). Select the 'BBCode' option and ctrl+c the contents of the link box and then ctrl+v in to your Bluemoon post. Rinse and repeat for any other photo's you want. Easy Peasey Lemon Squeezy.
There is an option to change the display size in there too but you can leave it on default with no problems.

Edit: nice photo's BTW.

As posted last weekthe club is installing a new floodlight system on walkways under the roof as on the new South Stand . If you look at the roof top right you can just see the walkway being installed to the East Stand in the First Photo. TheColin Bell stand haS already had this fitted and expect the whole stadium to have this installed for the first league game against Chelsea. I think this will really make the stadium Feel much more compact as it wI'll reduce the space that the stadium roof span creates and make the Stadium more Imposeing.

Interesting fact about the Legends Lounge - There is an advert for the lounge on Classic FM - which some of you might tune in to - yesterday

Clear evidence they are aiming it at the crustacean munching brigade and not those scally XFM and Capital radio lovers ;-)

Nice pics, so we have a whole new section to get some banners/flags on. If anyone wants to get in there, you will need to be quick

Which are the blocks for the away fans?

I think long term we will have the advertising screens on all levels bar this section. The flags/banners we have on the east/west third tier look tatty now in comparison, especially the vinyl ones.

Dependant on how many they sell obviously :-

 

[Kirkhamblue]

May seem a stupid question but the big gap between the stands, is this for the scoreboard?.

Yes it is, its just waiting to be put up

Thanks. Hadn't realised that blocks 114, 214 and 314 were being split in half.

Hopefully the third tier is the primary location for away fans, so they fill it up from the top. Get them hidden away up there if they don't sell all their allocation, allowing us to fill the whole of the first and second tiers with City fans.

 

[Silva61]

think you will find they fill from btm up because of disability access

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Hope the club don't have four scoreboards up next season all showing the game. Also need to sort out the ridiculous brightness of those bloody led boards on level two, really pissed me of last season especially that pink one.

I thought that all levels are legally required to have disabled access ?

New south stand level 3 has a grand total of ZERO wheelchair bays.

Cheers mate, I stand corrected.

It's a lot easier than people think to take seats out and add them back in.

When I was there for the tour on Sunday they were adding and taking away all over the place.

Including the additional rows at the bottom of the first tier, which by the way are at a different angle to the other seats in those blocks!

The segregation of away fans I'd imagine will be similar to what we've previously seen but in 114 rather than 115/116.

Exciting times!

DirtyLeeds fans have been demonstrating this for years. The first bit anyway

Nope.

You can submit an access statement with a building regs application to circumnavigate part m of the approved docs.

It could include:

That tier 1 it has better views/site lines
That Tier 1 is less problematic for access/egress in case of an emergency.
That a larger disabled allowance has been made on level one to hold the same number of disabled people on tiers one, two and three combined.
Etc, etc.
