MadKaw Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'd say the corporates go on the same side as the tv cameras to not have the stadium look empty, or lacking atmosphere on TV. Those who were on the west to get out of the afternoon sun may no longer have that luxury. Prydzopolis and tardotz 2 Link to comment
mack Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 The bottom level of the west has some seating that could be used, I suspect at least s few hundred people will get the opportunity to stay. Prydzopolis and Wanderboy 2 Link to comment

Yep, was thinking that as well. You'd think that most of those who were on the concourse level will get the chance to stay there, while the ones who were in the top deck will more than likely be the ones relocated.

Hughesy Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 That’s a serious design flaw that there will be little to no access for the average punter to sit out of direct sunlight. Even worse when you consider that one of the two major tenants play a summer season... Why does a suburban ground of 30k capacity need to have 10% corporate seating? And why does it need to take up 95% of a whole stand? How often are the eels or WSW realistically going to have 3000 corporate spectators in the place?... seems like a waste to me. tardotz, SomeGuy1977, theguyyouwishyouwere and 3 others 6 Link to comment
GD07 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 3000 corporates....I think we’re in for quite a few “Sold Out” games that are nowhere near capacity. theguyyouwishyouwere and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment

I was part of a meeting with club officials on Monday. If I understood them correctly then the capacity of the ground will be 27k (spread across North, East, and South terraces) plus 3k VIP seats (West terrace only). Those who had seats on the old Parra West Terrace will be relocated to the new East terrace. Which means those who had good seats on the east terrace (disclamer....me), will be shunted for the displaced western terrace refugees.

btron3000 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 That west side is gonna be dead. Might as well not do WDYSF with them. Levi Stadium (new San Francisco 49ers ground) has one of those corporate stands. And guess what - the corporates get the shade, just like here. Their die-hard fans all say the ground has a **** atmosphere. matty, Prydzopolis, Wanderboy and 1 other 4 Link to comment

They will transplant you guys over to the East side in the best seats first, probably increase the allocation of Red memberships too to capitalise on the musical chairs. Black members in the best seats on the old east side will get shafted to the fringes. Guaranteed. Swanderer, Prydzopolis and CaptainJess 3 Link to comment

DeeDee Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Gees, never realised how corporate the western stand was. And looking at the pictures id just assume all the lower terraces would be for red members and all the boxes and upper seats is more then enough vip seats. Im a red and black member, i just want my good ole batch of seats back in the north eastern lower stand. We were the life of old parra stadium!!

Unlimited Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 As a Western stand member who had a seat in the grandstand, I take offence to any suggestion that I be moved to the Eastern stand As a westie, I feel it is only appropriate and proper that I sit in the -west- stand when I am watching the Western Sydney Wanderers Prydzopolis, Edinburgh, wendybr and 5 others 3 5 Link to comment

We sat in the East to look to the beautiful west, and fry in the setting sun..... We might not want you in the East stand, we don't take just anyone....

JackDoff Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Since we're talking of corporate boxes, how much are they? I assume they include food n drink , plus, how many people are in one? CBF'ed researching I've had too many beers! wendybr, Carns, Prydzopolis and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
