A clampdown on standing? That's gonna go brilliantly. Just as well as the clampdown on the Yid word, the clampdown on ticket touts and the crackdown on clampdown in football I'm sure.
Obviously the answer is - let fury have the hour, anger can be power!Working for the clampdown - what are we gonna do now?
I'm not so sure we should be quite so dismissive of concerns especially when your answer is a somewhat appeal to authority.Oh I know. We'll just invest several million quid in this totally untested system for growing our pitch on trays and we won't do any research beforehand. It doesn't matter that our grounds staff have won multiple awards for the pitch at OWHL. This time, we'll just take a flyer on a dangerous system that will injure our players and utterly ruin our performances at our otherwise-painstakingly-designed new home.
And a few fans will all have "my opinion", based on absolute fuck-all, and "my opinion" will of course be right and our several years of expert advice and research will be meaningless.
I have contended many times that people on SC habitually misuse the word "arrogant". A fan who reckons he knows more about the new pitch that the whole design team - that's arrogant. Not someone who thinks fools are fucking fools and says so bluntly.
As your name is Topper then you would know!Obviously the answer is - let fury have the hour, anger can be power!
There you go!As your name is Topper then you would know!

Mistakes get made in these types of decisions. Constantly.
I went through a poorly made pitch decision being a fan of the Houston Texans and they tested that system out as well and obviously you could apply the same line drop of "we'll just take a flyer on a dangerous system that will injure our players and utterly ruin our performances at our otherwise-painstakingly-designed new home." to their project as well except it turns out they did mess up.
Plus lets not act as if Levy wasn't somewhat bending over backwards to get the NFL here. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the pitch isn't as good as a natural pitch is in the other stadiums. I think it's fairly obvious compromises were made on our end to entice them to us.
Do I think it's going to be an absolute disaster? No. I don't. But do I think that this entire stadium build is going to go exactly 100% to plan and there won't be cock ups? No. I don't believe that either. I think having concerns is valid and shouldn't be so quickly derided and shot down.
In fact this whole pitch design is brand new is it not? I think it's fairly naive to think that we're going to do something brand new that no one else has done before and it's going to go over 100% with zero hitches.
Meh, the cladding does look better than in the concept drawings, but I still think it's going to look awfully dated in a 10 or 20 years. Just looks like a kind of cheap modern office block in most cities these days.

This is going to be insane
I’m pretty sure the cladding can be changed if we want too
Exactly it’s just panels that can be changed at any time. Once the oil money comes we can go the the gold and diamond finish. Although kind of agree on the blue. The photo I added last page I used the vivid filter and made some panels bit blue which I think looks cool. But as said really no big deal to lift few panels in future and put new ones in. Does anyone know why some are open like window flaps is there a practical reason for that ? Or it’s just aesthetic?
