A very interesting presentation, clearly Portman Road needed a lot of work before the start of this season but it is an old stadium however things keep moving on and our 20+ year old stadium will be a bit behind in certain aspects.

Asking about what work is needed at the CBS Arena to bring facilities in line with Premier League requirements would be a very good question to ask at the next fans forum with management.

I'm sure there's lots of things at the CBS which are ready to go for PL football but the money will allow us to make cosmetic and required changes.

What's happened to my club that we're discussing moving the tv cameras to free up a bit of seating

Im afraid that is just wrong, Nearly all clubs have far too little hospitality areas and are always trying to create more space - Liverpool even have hospitality in a local pub and they bus you to the game! We are lucky to have a ground that was built with this in mind.
The relative loyalty of hospitality patrons kept the club alive when we had gates of 7000 and are a very profitable earner for the club.

There are too many seats for the amount of people that can fit in the hospitality lounges. That’s the point.

Either the lounges need extending or the seats converting

Looks like other new build stadiums have designated areas for cameras.

Another thing that requires money to fix.

Let's be honest though, televised football isn't a post 2003 phenomena. Just another example of the complete lack of thought that went into the design of the arena

Potentially but maybe Leicester and Southampton have installed positions for them.

Easy to do when you either own the stadium or have the money for the installation.

If we get promoted, we shouldn't be closing a couple hundred seats for two camera men.

The ownership status is irrelevant to it really, at the point the stadium was designed it was designed for use by us

This area here was the place for a camera. Seats were purposely not put there. There was a similar spot in the South Stand, along with the permanent cameras at the back of the East Stand.

The ground was designed for them, but the technology has changed
