I’ve no idea what the previous office areas were like but it’s great to see investment into their new area, looks up to date and modern, I’m sure the workers will appreciate it. Well done, KN, JE and DTS et al. Good to see Boothie in the video - great to see the continuity with a proper Town legend and a fantastic guy.

I wonder is those offices are what use to be for KAL "Kirklees Active Leisure" that shut when they closed the gym at the stadium. It makes you wonder just how many people are employed by the club, i know at Man City on match days its two thousand and its more at Spurs.

Really smart that. Lots of similarities with the Man City and Brighton staff offices who set incredibly high standards.
Positive sign.

I think the council used to have those offices but moved out a good while back.
Does this link also to the rumour about Legends being made into a two storey place too
And also noticed DTS is now Chief Operating Officer. Appears to be a promotion!

I've worked on a few fit out projects like that and can tell you that will not have been cheap. Great step forward in professionalising the club.

The old offices feature in the video (around the 1:09 mark). Huge improvement. Cheers to DTS for getting the video out also - I've often wondered whether the club perhaps underestimates supporters' interest in the day to day minutiae. Personally speaking, any glimpse behind the curtain in any area of the club and I'm here for it  |

Love it
Small details like this go a long way
I hope they do the same with the changing rooms and interior corridors what is so dated

I used to call into them a few times through work when KAL were there |

This is great - even if that sort of open-plan office layout gives me the heebie-jeebies! Bit Dilbert. Not a criticism - just me.
Really weird seeing Boothy sat at a desk, but at least he's not wearing a shirt and tie.
Good to see the work going on behind the scenes - it all adds up.

The old offices were in pockets, here there and everywhere in the bowels of the stadium. Many had no daylight and sme apparently even had to pack up early on a match day as press etc took over their space.
The word is this has gone down very well and staff are ‘buzzing’!
Well done Edwards - credit where it’s due.

I wonder whether Kev lets them work from home. I have to say since COVID I think id struggle to concentrate in an open plan office like that.
Great to see improvements though and that staff haven't been cut following relegation. Hope it all comes together next season for us.

They are just going over the data supplied by Danny Ward to see if it is worth extending further  |

Most important thing for me from the video is that this will be the first time all backroom staff top to bottom get to work together in the same office. Got to be much more conducive to getting the best out of everyone.

I'm the same, not just with Town but also with TV shows and films, I like to know behind the scenes on all sorts of stuff. I'm a glutton for special features on DVD and Blu-Ray releases. |

They all need to be in the building together as a team, rubbing off each other. |
