Seems a long time ago given where we are today but when we finished fifth in the championship 2020/21 and made the play offs the PL and Sky had visited the club even before our play off place was secured .

Most of the requirements I believe are linked to broadcasting , quality of floodlights , capability of multi tv cameras , VAR etc etc .

There are requirements regarding the media facilities too which are expected to house way more than if you were in the championship and have the tech in place that allows them to do their job in today's world .

Presumably the days of the old notebook , pencil and a telephone are well gone .

Image is king today with the PL broadcast to millions around the world and the amount of money other country's as well as here are forking out .
