Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Is it not possible to have all three? If co-ordinated properly that could look really smart

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Padded seats for the lower tier ?
They won't be cheap.
The claret looks good there but how about after a couple of years ?

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
The normal seats are all plastic, so these padded ones are for the Club London area.
Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Yes these are the Club London ones as far as I am aware. This is what they told me when I went for the corporate packages that these seats would be in the middle tear.gavrosh wrote:The normal seats are all plastic, so these padded ones are for the Club London area.
Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Not a huge surprise, but it'd be good to see some blue in there after the stadium renders shown so far only show white and claret.

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Yeah they've been there for ages while all the corporate sales are done. I would be very surprised if they are used for general seats. Normally the corporate seats are padded and general seats are just the usual plastic ones. The lady at my appointment said that they were for corporate lounge seats.Pop Robson wrote:There the ones in the westfield reservations migration shop

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Seats were obviously comfy compared to the plastic ones at the Boleyn. Just can't see them changing all the seats in the ground to these seats when they have previously said it would cost anywhere up to £5 million to replace the seats to claret and blue and they would rather spend that on players.Pop Robson wrote:Where the seats comfy ?

It's hard to say about the view because the software that they use only has a empty playing field. It would be a lot better if they had put some players or a ball at the very least on the pitch so that you could get a reasonable idea of what it would look like. It's going to be hard to judge until they let us sit in the seat for the first time. Then everyone can have their opinions on the view. Some will like it some won't, but we can't please everyone. From the view of the seat that I've selected the view looks good but then I prefer to be slightly higher up.
Price wise I can only comment on the 3 lounges that were for sale when I went. They have opened up other lounges since then but they will be cheaper than the ones that I saw I would have thought. The 3 that were available when I went were 1 Gold lounge called "The Forge" and 2 Platinum lounges called "The Arnold Hills Lounge" and "Royal East". The platinum lounges had very few available seats to chose from. They were either sold on on hold already. I think the lady said that there was 300 places in each of the platinum lounges. It is quite expensive to be honest. Especially that you have to pay an up front fee for 3 seasons and then you pay a monthly fee as well. For the more expensive platinum lounge you are looking at just under £5000 a season after the initial up front fee. Whether this is acceptable will only become clear when we are in the stadium and see the view and the lounges and the food etc. If you look at it on a per game basis, if you have 2 home games in a month you are looking around £200 a game.

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Joe Public are unlikely to be given upper and lower padded seats which is why I referred specifically to the colour - more's the pity.

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
id have all three , but then again i'll probably be standing in front of mine as a do at upton park
Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
Indeed, I have no interest in the colour or padding on my seat as I have no intention of sitting in it. I expect to stand for 90 minutes as I do now. Most important aspect of seat design is how easy it is to hang my coat on the back when it gets warm.likemydreams wrote:id have all three , but then again i'll probably be standing in front of mine as a do at upton park

Yes they all are.Gep wrote:Seats at the emirates are padded?? Are they not?
I hope they use a random selection of colours in the club London area - so that the area doesn't look empty on 60 minutes when they're still quaffing their champagne.

whilst I agree, there in starts the first fight/arguement at the OS; under the current migration policy you are going to get those who stand and those who sit; indeed need to sit, like my old man; in the same block

Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
UTJ, Are these seats actually going to be in the stadium then? I thought we was keeping the black & white
Re: New seats, Olympic Stadium
These are corporate seats that go into some of the west stand. The other seats will remain plastic. About half of those (40,000) are white so it would mainly involve swapping the black seats into the areas that would be closed off for football to achieve the all white seats that are in the clubs renders. To add a bit of claret sndd blue, the club have talked about seat covers, or they could stop being tight and shell out for a few seats.
