Warmington house is still there
as I believe is the facade of the old dispensary somewhere, perhaps they are utilising that in the dispensary bar.

Anyone else concerned that a couple of the tiles seem to be missing, based on this it looks to me like we won't compete the stadium on time and we might be at Wembley for another year which might piss Poch off in the summer and go to Real Madrid, all our players will leave cause of this and we'll return back to mid table mediocrity.
All because of Levy who probably paid for cheap tiles from B&Q which aren't up to the job, Levy out

I'm probably going to get absolutely crucified for this but I promise I don't mean to cause any offense to anyone. Anyway, here goes...
Since the "virtual" map thing of the stadium came out where you can see the view from your seat this has been bugging me. A big emphasis has been placed since the beginning about us having this single-tier stand which will be an unbroken "wall" of sound etc. and that's one of the main things that has got people excited about the prospect of the new stadium. Now that the virtual map thing is out, however, you can see that they've put a massive row of disabled seating almost all the way across the middle of the south stand. Obviously I've got no issue whatsoever with having wheelchair seating, in fact I think it's great that even people in wheelchairs are going to be able to take part in the south stand experience, but the trouble with the way it's been designed is that the wheelchair row creates a massive gap pretty much all the way across the stand, all but cutting it in half. Obviously it won't be quite as noticeable once people are in it but it still creates a large gap for the obvious reason that you need lots of extra room for wheelchairs to be able to move along the row etc. For me this massively takes away from the intended effect of having an unbroken "wall" of fans in a single tier because it makes the stand effectively look like it's two tiers anyway.
I just feel like there were better options for accommodating wheelchairs than to put a big dividing row across the middle of the stand like that. For example, in the main stands, there are only 1-2 tiny sections for wheelchairs, presumably because the club don't want to take away from the posh seats they can flog for more money, but I reckon they could've taken a few of the wheelchair sections out of the south stand and moved them to the East/West which would've a) given our disabled fans access to better views etc. anyway and b) would've meant the large row of W/C seating didn't break up the effect of the single tier so much.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'm a little disappointed by the way the south stand looks vs what was promised. Like I say, please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not in any way "hating on" people in wheelchairs, if anything my idea is beneficial to disabled fans because it would mean they had better seats. I apoligise if this upsets anyone but that's honestly not my intention.
