Think it got an SC hug of death. Account seems to be gone?

How weird the guy just replied to say it's cool for me to post on here.

Looks like the big screen brackets going up

Hopefully they don't do what I usually do when trying to put up a bracket at home, drill the holes slightly misaligned and then try to bodge it in with brute force.

Not just me then!

I call this the "in or around the rawlplug" rule.

I often end up splitting a rawlplug down the length and fitting in the too large hole. Usually works!!!

Does the South Stand have escalators? My father in law is 85 and that would be one load of stairs!

There is an escalator or two in the atrium and probably lifts for the highest bits.

I think there is 0% chance that we will build all this and not make it accessible so I wouldn't worry

I fucking love the colour of the seats, it's the perfect colour.

looks awesome!!

Wonder why they decided the old WHL seats would be royal blue rather than Navy. In hindsight, seems bizarre??

This picture's a great illustration for anyone still having trouble working out how the roof-ring that we can see at the moment will fit in - the ring of white uprights going around the inner edge of the roof - that's what we're looking at being raised up at the moment.

Someone put up a diagram of exactly that in this thread some time back, maybe this year. I did a quick search but couldn't find it, but the new stadium is SO much bigger, it's remarkable!

I doubt it was that bespoke back then. About seven different colours of plastic seats available.

'What shade of blues do you have?'

'We have blue... or not blue...'

"Hmmm, that one doesn't really go. What about white? Do you have white?"

Its amazing how much it echoes WHL, unlike the Emirates which is so soulless and far from their Highbury roots (to be fair they didn't stay long enough for proper roots to form)

royal blue were probably cheaper than navy blue or they were on special offer and you know Daniel loves a bargain

What, ruined an absolute classic design by making it more ugly and boring? :giggle:
