New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Nerine]

I'm pretty sure there's going to be swooped cladding on the west stand that follows the curves of the atrium glass etc. Should look pretty sick when it's done. I don't think it'll look like an office at all.

Still think replacing smashed glass on that front entrance will be a never ending job. Honestly find it hugely surprising they went with a glass frontage at road level for a football stadium. Not sure if it’s brave or stupid. Would be awful if we are having to constantly replace smashed segments.

There’s gonna be cladding across the top half. But not the protruding entrance as far as I’m aware.

Yes, precisely. The cladding will follow the curve of the atrium. Not enclose it.

Anyone else think that parking cars on the pitch could be a bad idea?

Mourinho may disagree with you.

The glass will be super toughened glass mate, You get shops with glass fronts in a busy high street that are right next to the road. Im sure the architects / designers have considered this.

It’ll most certainly be bullet proof

Really incredible bit of organization getting the stadium built and built so quickly. Great work by everyone involved

Bit like graffiti though. On football stadiums it doesnt happen as often as you'd think it would. Plus anyone caught doing it would be harshly dealt with by any locals if caught and the local police would probably be hard on them as those up on high will not want their world renowned jewel in the crown ruined by some knuckle dragging twat.

By that logic every shop in London would be robbed daily

Some sort of cladding being applied on camera 5, or was until a moment ago. Now the lads are standing about getting a sun tan.

Is there any ethical reason why the workers couldn't wear shock collars, which could be linked to a button on the site? If we see 'em slackin' we give 'em a shockin'!

Whoahhh...easy tiger. We already have all and sundry calling our players a bunch of divers.

Let's not have the workforce start flinging themselves on the floor also.

My least favourite part of the whole build. There’s not much they could do being that close to the high street but it’s just ‘meh’.

As someone else has said - an inverted Nike tick. Can't help but see that ever since.

It’s clearly a different logic. Shops aren’t hated. There’s no reason for a drunken idiot to throw a brick at a shop. But a group of mindless Arsenal West Ham drunk 2 Am on a Saturday morning that happen to be passing. Especially when it’s new and shiny. Bit like all the trouble at London stadium first few weeks. Just some people’s mindset when someone you hate has something new and shiny.

But people want to steal stuff from inside shops like money and goods. Surely that is more of an incentive than 'hating' something.

I get what hes saying, the wankers out there will get satisfaction out of doing damage to something that's brand new to their most hated rivals. However i dont see it being a problem, the glass will be super strength.

At first I thought it was the cockerel's tail which mightve been a nice idea

Sorry about that....

Anyone found guilty of damage should be given a free ticket to the park lane and a shirt that says I broke the window.
