    It works just the same as before, you have a 'seat' as usual, the only difference is that it will be folded up for all domestic games. Everyone who opted to stay will be in their regular seat unless they were in the front section that the GB will now occupy. Those people in that situation have been relocated into a seat where the GB used to be at the back of 111.

    The guy that deals with this sort of stuff said in Twitter we will lose 100 seats

    Also looking into astro behind the goals! That's good because the area where the players warm up gets dug up to * makes it look *

    Possibly mentioned 100 times already, but have we heard how much tickets may cost for this section?

    Match day and season.

    Ticket prices have not changed, same as they were previously. All are season tickets, no general sale will take place for standing section unless a cup match where season ticket holders have not purchased their tickets.

    I think we should consider getting the latest 3G pitch because ours was beat up badly during that winter. 3G is the best of both worlds and they say it's just like playing on grass. Would really suit our passing game too.

    Crow can you ask the Green Brigade to never sing that Will Grigg song please :31:

    If celtic get a 3G pitch we can't be taken seriously as a football club until we go back to grass. Would be a good idea for behind the goals though.

    But the Arsenal pitch looks fine, I didn't know it was a hybrid until someone told me. I've not heard any complaints about it and they're in the CL every year so if it was a horrible surface someone would have said something.

    Wembley has the latest 3G hybrid too, it's called the Desso Grassmaster.

    Don't get me wrong, I much prefer a grass pitch. It's just winter is a nightmare trying to maintain it.

    Something that crossed my mind.

    They are adding a segregation barrier to stop people going into the standing area who shouldn't be there.

    Will this be done in the concourse as well? This would mean we can't move from North stand into the East stand the way we usually can.

    Doubt that would be the case, mind there is the big exit in that corner under the seating. Along with the turnstiles that allow access to other blocks are also under there, along with toilets, the bookies and the kiosks all would end up in a segregated area.
    Would assume they will just use stewards to check tickets as you climb the stairs/make your way out to the stand.

    Excellent point Eddie. But i doubt they would do that. Is the segregation barrier maybe just a safety measure or just something that 'has to be there'?

    has this reduced capacity? if so does that mean tickets will be dearer?

    The barriers are on the 'seating' deck as they are required for meeting stadium regulations relating to the movement of spectators. Stewards will be placed at the openings next to each entrance as well as on the stairwells to check tickets and prevent overcrowding. You shoukd be able to walk around the concourse underneath as usual though.

    The capacity has been reduced by around 100 seats to make way for the barriers, a part from that it is exactly the same and each seat will simply be replaced by a rail seat in the same locations as previously.
