New dugouts are part of the stadium improvements which have been taking place this summer.

“We’re delighted to have agreed a deal with SEH BAC,” Rosie Richardson, Town’s director of sales, told the club website.

“SEH BAC is another local company that we look forward to working with. We can’t wait to see their logo on the new-look dugouts when they are ready.”

Peter Wheeler SEH BAC’s managing director added: “We have built up a wonderful relationship with Ipswich Town and we are thrilled to extend our partnership with them for the upcoming season.

“We will be cheering on Kieran McKenna and the team for what we all hope will be a successful season campaign.”

BotesdaleBlue added 16:12 - Jun 29 We will have come a long way since the days when the dugouts were almost subterranean; where the manager's eye-line was just about level with players' knees.

Europablue added 16:22 - Jun 29 wkj we absolutely don't need a big screen, it doesn't add anything to the matchday experience, at least it isn't worth the money and can be distracting.

blues1 added 16:39 - Jun 29 Europablue.think youll find the vast majority of football fans will disagree with you. Dont see how a big screen us distraction ? If u can't just watch the football on the pitch without being distracted then u have a very low concentration span. Plus u get to see replays of goals, goal attempts, saves etc. So if u do somehow miss a goal, through say, some1 beside u saying something which does distract you, or uve gad to go to to the loo, u get the chance to see the goal. Either straight away or at half time when they show highlights of 1st half for instance. So adds quite a lot to the game.

AlanG296 added 17:02 - Jun 29 Whether it's distracting rather depends on where you are in the ground and how much it's in your field of vision while you follow the game. I suspect anyone around the opposite corner at a fairly low level will notice it most.

billys_boots added 20:46 - Jun 29 Re a big screen, it would also help (along with a PA system you can actually hear) to be more involved with the half-time interviews. Never have a clue what they're saying or if I'm looking at a famous boxer or just some bloke near the tunnel.
