WITH so much much hi-tec expertise going into the planning and building of the new showpiece stadium at Horwich, it's no surprise to hear that Wanderers are considering using advanced technology at the box office.

The club is considering using a computerised "virtual reality" image of the new ground to enable them to know exactly where they will sit.

The ground has been designed to offer good, uninterrputed views from all 25,000 seats. But Wanderers officials know that many of their 8,500 season ticket holders, who have been promised priority treatment when tickets eventually go on sale, will want to pick their own vantage points.
