the main atmosphere in the old WHL was the south stand, with a corner near the south in the east contributing. whats important is to get a good group in the south, and hopefully now @Dougal has moved to the north some noise can come from there:whistle:

the big difference being that if we hold concerts, boxing, or the NFL, our pitch doesn't get damaged.
Anyone who saw me celebrate the equaliser in the 4-4 against Arsenal knows I’m not there for the peace and quiet! :happy:

You know the pitch is retractable yeah?

yes I know, and because of that, it will allow us to have multiple use of other event.

the person I was quoting would of rathered there be no NFL or extended area in the east corporate if that was built mainly for the NFL (which it most probably was, as that's where their tunnel is). I was just noting that we will now be able have mlti events, no pitch damage and hopefully pay the stadium off quicker

Been told we are 2 to3 weeks behind on the external build, but ahead of schedule for the interiors.

What is the hand over date for the stadium? Is it 1st July? August? September? If Its the latter then the moving in after first international break is tight, but if it’s July we’re home and dry?

Was worried that I hadn't seen Chris Cowlin's usual Saturday video... This bloke deserves any money he makes from his Youtube channel imo.



Tbh the guys are saints. Edward doesn't get anything because he puts music on. Chris will probably get a normal youtuber rate of $1 per thousand views as i don't think he has any sponsors.

Massive thanks to them av guy and all the others that put the time and effort in. Also please try and mention them when posting their videos, i've been guilty of forgetting many times.

Presumably interiors includes the pitch and seats etc?
No, that's external, internal will be everything NG inside the building.

Unless you work for mace or high level spurs, no one will know for sure!

Considering they've had a week or two of high winds and at least two snow weeks where if it didn't affect the progress of labour it's probably slowed up deliveries. Pure guess work on my part.

Plus this caveat obvs.

speaking as a naive total layman when it comes to construction projects i just don't understand how it can be ready for 62,000 fans by September. There are SC members who know about this stuff and so I'll take their word for it but hoping we don't have to play at wembley any longer than necessary or have to play 4-6 aways games at the start of next season.

I think a lot more work is being done off site and bought in than we realise. I don't doubt stuff like the pitches and rollers, etc. will all be manufactured somewhere else and bought in on a flat bed in sections when it's time.
