Repurposing a Heritage Scoreboard Building into a New Club Shop

As Official Projects Partner to Worcestershire County Cricket Club, Stadium Support Services was engaged to transform an underutilised heritage scoreboard building into a new club shop. Located on a site affected by annual flooding, the project required a solution that protected the building’s character while creating a practical and resilient retail space that could be adapted and reinstated each season.

The Challenge

Scope of Work

  • Installation of new windows following the creation of large apertures
  • Installation of glass doors to provide greater visibility into the shop
  • Rewiring of electrical systems, fed from above to avoid flood water and potential water damage
  • Modular fixtures and fittings designed to be removed at the end of each season
  • Moisture extraction and ventilation measures to reduce the risk of mould and damp during the off-season
  • Sympathetic external restoration works to return the building to its former glory

Complete Bespoke Seat Upgrade Across The Kop, Bradford City AFC

Stadium Support Services delivered bespoke, branded seating across the Kop, replacing the old, weathered plastics with a bold new CITY design. The project provides improved comfort, enhanced durability and a striking visual upgrade for Bradford supporters.


The Challenge

The old Kop seats had been in place since 2000, with many bolts heavily corroded and difficult to remove after years of use. To keep the project on track, the team used specialist methods, including grinders, to release the fixtures. Sustainability was also a priority, with all removed plastic seats sent for recycling rather than landfill.

The programme allowed just three and a half weeks, with supply, delivery and installation carefully coordinated to ensure completion ahead of the first home fixture against Middlesbrough.

 

Scope of Work
  • Design: Work with the client to agree the seat design and CITY lettering layout
  • Supply: Liaise with suppliers to manufacture bespoke plastics for the project
  • Removal: Remove existing damaged and broken seats across the lower Kop stand
  • Recycling: Coordinate with recycling partners to ensure all seats are sustainably processed
  • Installation: Fit new custom seating with precise numbering and finishing details
  • Approval: Secure client sign-off following installation and final checks
The Solution

The project delivered a new seating layout, with bespoke plastics used to form CITY lettering across the lower Kop. The new seats improved comfort for supporters and created a clear visual identity for Bradford City.
All removed seats were processed through Recycle for Future, who turn old stadium seating into reusable plastic granules. This meant none of the waste went to landfill and supported a circular economy. The project combined quality installation with responsible disposal, improving the matchday experience while managing the environmental impact.

 

“The new seats have transformed the Kop, giving our supporters greater comfort and a stand that truly reflects Bradford City’s identity.”

Complete Refurbishment to Montys Bar & Lounge 

As part of Wycombe Wanderers’ wider hospitality upgrades ahead of the new season, Stadium Support Services was appointed to refurbish Monty’s Bar & Lounge. The goal was to transform the space into a modern, multi-use hospitality suite that generates additional matchday and non-matchday revenue while enhancing the fan and community experience.

The Challenge

The project had to be delivered to a tight programme during the off-season, ensuring the space was ready for the first home game. Working closely with the club, our team developed design concepts and mood boards that combined a fresh, modern aesthetic with Wycombe’s brand heritage.

The brief called for a space that would feel bright, welcoming and versatile – a sports bar and hospitality suite that could serve fans on matchdays, attract supporters for away-game screenings, and host wider community use.

Scope of Work

  • Reconfiguration: Adjusted walls and doorways to improve customer flow

  • Lighting & Electrics: Full strip-out, new electrical installations and mood lighting to define zones within the space
  • Finishes: Redecoration with a modern look and feel, keeping club branding at the heart of the design
  • Ancillary Areas: Full fit-out of the kitchen and back-of-bar facilities
  • AV Installation: Supply and install of new AV system for live match streaming
  • Furniture: Installation of banquette seating, poser tables and bespoke furniture to maximise capacity and flexibility

The Solution

In just four weeks, Stadium Support Services delivered a complete transformation. The result is a bright, modern and flexible hospitality space that supports Wycombe Wanderers in generating increased revenue across matchday and non-matchday use. 

Monty’s Bar & Lounge is now a welcoming, multi-purpose venue enjoyed by fans, staff and the local community.

“The transformation of Monty’s Bar has been fantastic. The space is modern, welcoming and versatile, and has already made a big difference to the matchday and non-matchday experience.”

Supply & Installation of New Dugouts

As part of major pitch renovations at Adams Park, Stadium Support Services was appointed to supply and install new home, away and referee dugouts. The project delivered bespoke, modern facilities designed to enhance the matchday experience for both players and fans, while supporting the club’s long-term development.

The Challenge

The works required close coordination with contractors delivering wider pitch renovations. The dugouts needed to be relocated closer to the stands to improve sight lines for fans, while ensuring compliance with local authority approvals. All activity had to be completed within tight timelines ahead of the new season.

Scope of Work

  • Enabling Works: Ground preparation and service connections for the new dugout locations

  • Design & Manufacture: Bespoke dugouts developed and produced to club specifications
  • Home & Away Dugouts: Supply and installation of two dugouts, each with 22-person capacity
  • Referee’s Dugout: Installation of assistant referee’s dugout with space provision for future VAR facilities
  • Seating & Branding: Bespoke seating supplied with the Wycombe Wanderers crest embroidered
  • Heating & Electrics: Electrical systems installed to provide heated seating within the home dugout

The Solution

The team delivered a complete solution: relocating the dugouts closer to the stands improved sight lines, strengthened the connection between pitch and supporters, and enhanced the matchday atmosphere.

Each dugout was bespoke, with greater capacity, comfort and quality finishes. Heated seating was added to the home dugout to support player performance, while embroidered seating reinforced the club’s identity. The referee’s dugout was future-proofed with space for VAR.

Delivered to tight off-season deadlines, the result is a modern, spacious dugout area that elevates the experience for players, officials and fans, while supporting the club’s ambition to continually improve facilities.

“The quality of the new dugouts is outstanding – they look fantastic and deliver exactly what we needed ahead of the new season.”

High Capacity Toilet Block Refurbishment 

Stadium Support Services delivered the full redesign and conversion of two male toilet blocks into flexible, high-capacity toilet blocks with cubicle layout, suitable for both matchdays and concerts. 

The Challenge

To enhance the stadium experience and support footfall at both matches and concerts, the client wanted toilet provision to be more versatile. Two male toilet blocks were reconfigured into cubicle-only layouts, increasing flexibilty for events with a higher female audience, while still meeting the needs of male fans on matchdays for football and NFL. Works were delivered to a tight programme, carefully coordinated around a busy schedule of fixtures and events, with no disruption to stadium operations.

Scope of Work

  • Layout & M&E design: Redesigned layouts and services to maximise capacity and ensure compliance
  • Full Strip-out: Cleared existing fixtures, fittings and finishes from two toilet blocks
  • Services & infrastructure: Re routed plumbing and electrics, with core drilling to suit the new design
  • Floor & Finishes: Prepared subfloors, polished concrete and installed new tiling
  • Cubicles & Sanitaryware: Installed new cubicles, toilets and hardware
  • Dry lining & decoration: Installed partitions, completed plastering and redecorated
  • Fixtures & Lighting: Fitted sinks, mirrors, high-spec fixtures and energy-efficient lighting
  • Testing & commissioning: Conducted full checks to ensure compliance and functionality
  • Waste management: Cleared and removed all waste, leaving the site clean and ready for use

The Solution

Stadium Support Services redesigned both spaces to maximise capacity and flexibility, increasing cubicle numbers by 28.

The new layout supports concert use while retaining full suitability for regular matchdays. All works were completed on time and coordinated with the stadium’s live event schedule, ensuring zero disruption.

“The project needed to be delivered quickly, with zero disruption – and that’s exactly what Stadium Support Services achieved. A well-managed, high-quality project from start to finish.”
