You'll get a cracking view from there. It's the ends you've got be concerned about.

I stand just before the barriers at the back of the shed, what row(meaning A-Z) would suit me at the new ground, this info would be helpful because the sooner I now the quicker I can put my name down for season tickets.

I think we are seeing accelerated construction on our stadium, as Buckingham have just picked up the contract for Etihad Campus works, after impressing with other smaller contracts at Eastlands. Still, it looks more impressive each time I see it, and driving past yesterday saw some fellas in a cherry picker installing something on the underside edge of the Main Stand roof, possibly PA or floodlights.
Strangely looking forward to our last game at The Willows. It feels like the end of an old, fairly unsuccessful era and the dawn of a new one where anything is possible. We've all got to believe that this is our time and get a buzz around the club. Can't wait to move into our new home.

My guess is you can forget getting anywhere near row Z you'd have to have 26 rows for that. Row H maybe ?

anyway feel free to pick holes out of the following maths, but if we are optamistic for a change and say we can fill the corporate seats for every game and get gates of around 8k at 20 quid a ticket we should be comming away with a nice little proffit.
corporate holds 750@ 75 per head = 56250 x 14 = 787500
8k crowd x 20 = 160000 x 14 = 2240000
add them together (my calculator is in meltdown) = 3027500 then minus costs......
You think you will sell 750 corporate at every game ? , at 75 per head ?
And don't forget to knock the VAT off you tickets as well , and that £ 75 corporate will need the cost of the meal taking out , what is the current cost of your corporate at the Willows ? , and what are your booze prices like ? , expect your corporate to have to pay double for a day out at Barton than they currently do
