Small Club with the Greatest Stadium in Premier League
By news-admin
DBasia.news – Premier League is the most popular competition in the world right now. No wonder the clubs who play in the match have a sophisticated stadium.
Premier League big clubs like Manchester United or Chelsea often considered as the greatest stadium owner. In fact, the title isn’t for Manchester City or Arsenal.
Wants to know what club who has the greatest stadium in Premier League right now? It is Huddersfield Town. Surprising, right?
The story began when Huddersfield was being promoted to the Premier League during the 2017-2018 season. At that time, they were having difficulty deciding the stadium due to their home, which was below the standard of Premier League.
“As we didn’t get promoted until we beat Reading in the Championship play-off final on 29 May, we weren’t able to start making investment decisions until the last minute. We knew we needed to get the stadium ready for the new season,” said Huddersfield Town commercial manager Marc Mitchell.
After securing the promotion, Huddersfield renovated their home, John Smith’s Stadium. Apparently, Huddersfield wasn’t just changing it to the Premier League standard, but also UEFA.
Actually, Huddersfield wanted to rent or buy the preloved items from big clubs. But they chose to buy new items for maximizing their home.
Huddersfield’s first step is buying the best lamp no one used in Premier League, Techfront P8 LED. But they also installed the medium quality LED lights.
Installing the medium quality LED lights helped Huddersfield to secure the budget in less important sectors. For example, lighting the sponsor board, and others.
The most interesting part is, Huddersfield was the only Premier League club owning two kinds of LED lights. No club throughout England did the same thing.
Besides LED, there were some things installed in John Smith’s Stadium. They installed some boards for advertisement and modernization of their old stadium.
Some Premier League clubs, including West Bromwich Albion and Brighton & Hove Albion, followed Huddersfield Town’s step.
