A lot’s been going on at the Hive since the conclusion of the 2023/24 season and we cannot wait for the new campaign to start.
Where to start?!
Firstly, we’re putting in a new tunnel. This will be located in the East Stand on the halfway line next to the dugout, so player walkouts will be nice and central to the pitch.
Within the stand itself and leading out to the tunnel will be all new changing rooms for our First Team and visiting clubs.
We are also installing a brand new state-of-the-art stitched stadium pitch and lengthening it at the same time. This hybrid system will create an impeccable playing surface for the stadium. These works will take place across this summer and the next to ensure the integrity of the new turf.
Finally, we are creating a safe-standing area in the East Stand next to the new tunnel. Season tickets and matchday tickets will be available to buy here and will be at a reduced rate for adults and concessions; less than the 2023/24 pricing in fact. We hope this new safe-standing area (name TBC but any suggestions are welcome!) will become a very noisy and fun space within the stadium for supporters to enjoy.
All of these stadium improvements will be made for the benefit of our supporters, coaching staff and players and will not impact the playing budget for the season.
There is a small increase in our adult and concession pricing this coming season, however we remain committed to encouraging our young Bees to attend and as such, Under-17 pricing has been frozen for another year running across all areas within the stadium.
These small price increases will help bolster the increased playing budget for the 2024/25 season, in the hope of an even stronger promotion push.
Season tickets will be available to buy soon and more information on this will be released in due course.
