A question those who have been following the stadium build closely might be able to answer. I have a medical condition that comes and goes but when bad means climbing steps is real hard work ... so does the new stadium have a number of escalators and if so is there a better part of the stadium to be in? One reason I went for Club Wembley was because it was accessible but at the new stadium I am restricted to the relatively limited concession seats so need to choose carefully

I am more concerned that the weight of the pitch trays (especially when sodden), combined with the weight of the tracks and the underlying concrete base to the american football pitch, will be too much for the foundations and it will all fall in on the underground car park and facilities room underneath it all.
I have the same fear in relation to the weight of the Thames every time I go through the Dartford Tunnel. Proper worrying, isn't it!

As far as I can see from the plans , no escalators for general admission that's us ordinary folk , West , East and North stands have lifts up to level 5 for wheelchairs and less able fans, South stand only has lift up to level 2 which is where the wheelchair positions are, so south stand is not a good option if climbing stairs a problem for rows about 40 upwards.

I do know that engineers can work all this out and ensure it's strong enough, and whenever I go down the canary wharf tube station escalators I can never understand how the park above and all the shops don't come down on the cavernous underground station. It's all engineering magic and us normal folk should not worry our small, non-engineering minds about it.

It's your avatar that really completes this post for me. Perfect synchronisation. Well played.

I’m not sure it’s ever been 100% officially confirmed.
I think we've been given the green light if we need to but we may not reach the no turning back point until season's end when they have to start working on next season's fixtures.

Thanks! At the moment I am fine but cannot tell how things will be later. Looks like the North stand low level will suit me

Lol never read so many people talking so much shit than I have in these last two pages :LOL:
Well the straw men have been put to the torch, that's for sure.

Any such non-existing men with further flights of fancy never expressed of players' legs being chomped off, trays flipping up into the crowd etc, now know to keep well away from this thread.
