tinman85 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 A bit puzzled on this. Do we have a TV studio for the likes of Sky? What is the purpose of that grey derelict looking building next to the Atyeo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamB Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 For Saturday games, presentation tends to be back in London. For Friday matches they like to use the Heineken Lounge balcony for presentation. However, for the United match they are building a giant studio on the players lounge balcony.

Indeed, that grey building is a monstrosity. I do wonder why it was deemed necessary to build that in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it has it will look better and hardly noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lansdown stand extends to the goal line in front of the Atyeo. Any stand built where the media centre is would be behind the goal line and have the view across the pitch looking at the Atyeo / Dolman corner obstructed by the roof of the Atyeo. Unless the Atyeo is redeveloped, we’re stuck with the grey blob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was the media centre not replaced by extra seating during the build? As well I would have thought a TV studio would be created. What happens if we get to the Premier League? Souness and Henry standing on the pitch at HT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamB Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 If we go up we would have to provide two TV studios, which we have scope to do. Sky actually like standing pitchside though, for all their insistence on studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the media centre was constructed DURING the rebuild. To replace it with seats as you were building it would be the actions of a madman! Mad I tells thee.

The thought of no TV studio wouldn't have shown the stadium in the right light. Let's hope it looks part of the furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodbarmyarmy Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 The list of demands requirements from the PL is very extensive .... I was lucky to briefly see a copy of what the club were sent in GJ play off season .... some heavy demands regarding World media access and permanent TV camera positions for a start.... (if any of you have been to Barnsley you would have seen the large concrete plinths at the rear of the away end) I fully expect things like this have all been considered in the expansive redevelopment of AG.....and we are therefore PL ready..... off the pitch at least ..
