Not far to walk, out of the wind and rain, beer, what's not to like.
Edit; how much though

None of the photos do it justice.This thing is magnificent.
That VIEW when they walk out (2.06)into the arena from the S Stand

I think that's definitely a thing in general with photographs of stands because of wide angle lenses. The lenses that estate agents use to make rooms look bigger than they are, often make stands look wider and less high than they are in reality.
Some of the drone footage gives a much truer sense of scale.

We’ll miss the posts and restricted views though…won’t we ?…….

I'm not much of a photographer tbh, but have probably taken hundreds of pics of football grounds all over the world, long before mobile phone cameras were a thing..... and you're right, my photographs rarely did the real thing any justice. Was nearly always underwhelmed by my results for what I knew were sometimes breathtaking views of great stadia.

Steve Binns the city historian famously said he'd miss all the obstructed views too. He is profoundly blind though... so fair play to him!

The endless discussions on what the view from the seat is will be no more.
Not a single bad seat in the house

Bless. I remember when I was younger getting the 19 I think Steve was on the bus always remember or might have been from County Rd.
Which is why I don't think they'll be a huge number of 'new' season ticket holders.
A large portion of the 32k (ish) we have retain them because it's a good, unobstructed seat that they can't risk giving up. Every single seat at the new ground has a clear view of the entire pitch so it's less of a critical. Issue.
I'd imagine season tickets will remain at around 32/33k, with possibly 2 to 3k of current ticket holders opting for some level of premium seating.
I fully expect the club will bring in new membership tiers for non-season ticket holders to have priority access to vacant seats, and top games (Derby, Utd, City etc) needing home credits to secure a ticket. (I remember Derby tickets where always a stub of the home game two games before.)
They'd also be mad not to sell outrageous weekend packages for overseas fans. (Airport transfer, Hotel, Stadium Tour) filling out a match day weekend. Obviously, for those to be marketable we'd need to be pretty good at footy.
Baby steps.
Was thinking this before, I think the club will add more season tickets - but it won't be 5-10k's worth, from a business perspective they'd be stupid not to try packages/inflated ticket prices for certain games etc, as you say we'd need to improve on the pitch as well.
you'd be surprised lol

Was saying this the other day. I can't see standard season ticket numbers increasing too much, the club will want to maximise the money they can get from walk-ups and other pre-booked packages.
I think there's going to be a lot of disappointed people on our current waiting list who are hoping for a season ticket at Bramley Moore.

I was back in the UK in June - I saw it then. As you say, even more impressive in person. Ill be heading back to the UK again for a week next month, ill be down there for sure.
The disappointment will be reduced when they sit in a cracking seat regardless.
I wouldn't be at all shocked if the waiting list cuts drastically once we move, people are desperate not to miss that last season at GP. When you also factor in the inevitable hike at BM (I doubt any regular adult will be less than £800, probably more) the waiting list will be far more palatable for those who wish to remain on it.
