Any idea how much they are?

[Westbars Spireite]

A lottery win and it would be mine.

[moondog]

I wonder if any season ticket holders have had to be moved to accomodate the accompanying seats in the stand? given if this proves to be a success other boxes will inevitably open I'm pleased I didn't select a seat on the back row

[Westbars Spireite]

It was short sighted not to include them in the original build.

[Mr Mercury]

I assumed the glass frontage was the new area for the players families?
Btw I'm on row O block 5 so I assume I'm ok..any season ticket holder moved from the back row should kick up an almighty stink because these are some of the best seats in the house and its immpossible to get an equally good seat.
Saying that I would image that we've heard nothing on here that that isn't the case and any families, ticket holders etc wil be accommodated in Block 3 where there are plenty of unoccupied seats.

The club have the right to move them though, says so in your terms and conditions.

Very short sighted from the previous chairman not to include this in the original build.

Maybe a problem will occur when those seated close to the box try and renew next season

The club's Facebook output last night stated that it has been built with the intention for hire rather than for player's families.

Well your on a downer of late, do you know the cost of the conversion against the original cost of inclusion and I am dam sure no one would have thought about 1 exec box.

My question would be why aren't the players families using it after all wasn't that the idea behind the conversion in the first place.

There was a questionaire carried out a couple of weeks ago in the legends lounge regarding the player's families using the lounge .With amount of signatures saying they wanted the families to stay put in legends ,pages of them and remember there are a maximum of 250 members, the club may have an option of hiring the box out.

I think it was a pretty obvious statement to be honest.

As a rule of thumb it is generally cheaper to get the specification correct in the first place than alter the specification afterwards. And if they had done it originally there would probably be more than one box

How many people/supporters would have predicted where we are now. We have come a long way since in the last five years.Lets give credit to the developments that have taken place albeit slowly but still better than most at our level.

• New Stadium
  
• Therapy pool
  
• Rememberance Garden
  
• Decent hand pumped beer
  
• 4,500-5000 core of support
  
• Steadily increasing away support
  
• We have a manager that will manage at a higher level (hopefully with us)

Plus a team that plays entertaining football.

Two simple and non-confrontational questions, 'V': how much, and how does the club benefit (if at all).

A non confrontational question back- re the last one- how can the club not benefit?

The term 'private box' suggests this is a non-CFC enterprise whilst I thought the East Stand facilities were owned and run by the trust.

So how does Town benefit?

[JonB]

I read it as meaning its private to you on the day you hire it so only yourself and those with you can use it, its not open to all in the East Stand. You get to use it pre-match with the buffet etc, at half time and after the game and just pop out to your seats for the match.
