With the club recently saying there is going to be some planned investment in the the facilities at Deepdale, what would you hope to see?

I’ve just seen someone post this idea on Facebook of filling in the awful looking sides, they’ve used ChatGPT but I quite like the idea. Similar to what Bournemouth had/have.

I know these aren’t a priority but a bit of fun to talk about while we wait for the big news.

As I've mentioned on couple of occasions. Complete the IPS, bloody eyesore.
And it's a good point you make about the sides. You mean murals or similar?

Discussed this with the club previously and those sides just need bloody cleaning and nothing adding to them.

The idea of the transparent panels are to help the pitch get sunlight.

All the steelwork inside and out needs a bloody good clean for a start.

Then longer term a plan to finish the IPS.

valid point about the sunlight, although hopefully with our new state of the art pitch it shouldn’t be a problem 😉

As you say a good clean of everything would go a long way.

Finish the IPS, Sort the PA system out, bigger screen, and some decent WiFi, we’d be buzzing.
 
A Increased capacity to 35k
B New 300” QD Oled screen
C Under soil heating
D luxury extra padded seats in hospitality lounges
E More drums

Isn’t the issue with the current floodlights we did a half arsed job as usual and not get the best or the premier league standard ones as the budget is the budget came into it

The club actual did a really good job with the new LED lights, a massive improvement.

The Lux levels required for the broadcaster in the PL are quite a bit higher than our upgrade currently. The solution is additional lighting along the horizontal supports of each stand. That would make us PL compliant and retain our distinctive look compared to other grounds.
 
Aside from the obvious and stuff already mentioned:
  • Clean up and restoration of the Walk of Fame bricks
  • Replacement/restoration of faded seats
  • Proper queuing system on the concourses
  • Proper fanzone area
  • Clean up of vomitories and aisles (30 years worth of paint nèeds scraping off the STFS steps!)
  • Ando moved into the old footy museum glass box 😉
 
Get the facilities up to scratch, enough room in the toilets to not knock shoulders with a middle aged fellow pisser, get served a pint in reasonable time and not miss the second half, better screens in the concourse then of course in the stands a better sound system and screen
 
Whoever designed the TOWN END toilets was a fucking bell end from prime bell end world.

So you put the TWO dryers sticking out into the main entrance / exit, so that no one can stand there and dry their hands without blocking the way.

Yet just round the corner are a row of sinks, and a wall free, where a dryer can go. Remove a sink, of which there are far too many, and more can fit in.

Utter insanity.

Put 1 screen between the Kop and the Finney and put 1 screen in the other corner between the Town End and Invincibles.
