Done the old stadium tour lastnight 07:56 - May 8 with 1424 views | textbackup | Place looks so different to when I last done it (10 years ago) The little things, standardised font throughout, the consistent black paint, the blue lighting. The main bloke running it had plenty of enthusiasm too, and a few facts that I didn’t know. Well worth it if anyone was ever in two minds. Couple of bits they didn’t do that I hoped they might; - show us in the new tv studio (above tunnel) - show us the refs changing room - show us an executive box in the pioneer stand (any one, just so people could see what they were like) |  |

Done the old stadium tour lastnight on 08:01 - May 8 with 1353 views | ArmaghBlue | The Pioneer executive boxes are basically a dining room with some cupboards and a TV one end, the one I was in had a couple of signed shirts on the side wall, and windows and a door out to the designated seats in front of said windows at the other. Nothing special really. |  | |  |

Wonder if there’s some bizarre Premier League rule that says no other people allowed in refs room or something as like you say they took you in it last year and it was small, they’ve made it a lot bigger now I think. The executive box they used to took you in was Ed’s one before he moved this season and had it specifically designed! |  |

There was a subs board on the island in the home dressing room, wasn’t allowed to touch it tho. KMs office is massive (the old old away dressing room) for a dressing room it’s tiny tho! He had a full stocked beer fridge in there which was nice to see. I’m upper north so a way from the pitch, first time I’ve been that close since it got done, it’s incredible isn’t it. |  |

Done the old stadium tour lastnight on 10:36 - May 8 with 663 views | BlueMoon | I did it the other week, first time in many years. Ground looks great, it's night and day from the Evans era. They mentioned that the TV studio was planned / hoped to be included in future tours so that would be something to look out for. [Post edited 8 May 11:29]

Was too easy to take the piss then! My guy lastnight had the right level of cheesy jokes (jabs at norwich) and then some good knowledge. Being a town fan helps of course. Turns out 3/4 years back he sat behind me in NSL |  |
