New Stadium Details And Discussions

Also, let's give some props to the guy who said to Levy: "You know what, Daniel? It might be an idea not write "naming rights" in huge text on the roof of these photos..?"

No way! This is free advertising for our Naming Rights. These images will be round the world in the next 6 hours and BAM! We'll be the Alibaba.com Stadium or the Mittal Steel Stadium for the low low price of £500M over 5 years or, special deal for you, £1.5B over 10

The roof concerns me too. Looks a little toilet seat like.

Could be better, would like to see it from a few more angles though. Looks a hell of a lot better than the Emirshites which is my no1 criteria.

Not sure why people are fussed about the way the roof looks from above. Are you all aviators?

One thing I can't stand is looking out from my private helicopter and seeing an ugly stadium roof

I'm not ranting, just asked a question.

You seem a bit touchy about it.

Anyway I have asked someone who knows and cares.

I told you the answer of who owns the new stadium. We have set up a new company to deal with it and the enabling projects.

No cant say i am, i'm a sucker for a good thatched roof though.

Really, REALLY like the way the sides of the stadium look, not too keen on the roof but in general I like it better than the old design.

The roof concerns me too. Looks a little toilet seat like.

It seems to be a tension/compression ring roof design, so it is cheaper than the old design but it does make it harder and more expensive to expand.

Who is we ENIC or THFC?

Because we'll be on the fucking roof. SKYWALK BABY!

It's a separate company but the revenue will go to spurs.

Yeah Baby! Skywalkers, that's us... And abseiling...And learning about technology n shit.

I'd be cautious over this. If the deal is not right financially, I still think Levy will go to MK.

Bigger capacity at Wembley so gate receipts higher, but on the other hand Wembley Council may veto it.

So all we can do is ask and see what happens

The roof was designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Mixed feelings about the updated plans.

Good points:

- Stadium looks inside and out has been improved
- retractable pitch
- capacity increase
- much more amenities (match day and non-match day)

Bad points:

- Red House is definitely going
- No dedicated walkway between the stadium and station (yet anyway)
- Distance from the pitch to the stand appears to have increased

I honestly think anyone who still thinks this should leave the forum now. I'm all for freedom of speech, but this is just objectively wrong. He's a great chairman.

*whispers seductively* "so much bigger.."

Why am I hearing that in Brick's voice from "The Middle"??

It doesn't kill dolphins?

I don't think either the walkway has been scrapped, I think that will be part of a separate development(worth noting that the announcement did mention the off site development)

Also the distance on the other render appeared to be smaller worth waiting until the planning documents are submitted as we haven't seen the other side of the stadium yet

TBF they said the last roof, which had the recycling water facilities

As for this roof until we know more we are guessing but being environmentally as possibly could involve a solar heating system and panels tbh
