Rode up the High Road this afternoon. Fuck me it’s big. I’ve passed it a few times but always has me slightly gaping at it. When compared to the memory of the old stadium footprint it’s a monster!
Lots more glass in the south stand. Roof looked much closer to being finished. It’s starting to look like it might be ready in time.

nad1990 on ssc, some minor pieces of info: Guess who made a visit a couple days ago to see the box my firm purchased .

Only 3 of us went, I just made the list of people who could go check it out. It was very much go straight to our box and straight back out, didn't really get to see a lot of the stadium. Pictures were not allowed and my Senior boss made sure that was enforced. We will be getting "official" photos of our box by end of July, which we can share with the rest of company. However, I am sure we will be seeing loads like that beforehand.

Anyway onto the details. The specs for our box is immense! It felt more like a 5* Hotel Boardroom rather than a box you would expect at a football stadium (been to Wembley, Emirates and few stadiums abroad to compare too). Literally did say "wow" as soon as I walked in. Few things are not finished yet in our box, but that was more to do with us viewing everything as it is, in case we want any minor changes. Box was very similar to picture shared many months ago, just with a few more specific designs related to our company.

We had a very short walk through the South Stand and into the West Stand, so didn't get to see too much. Didn't really see the main areas of South stand, so can't comment on progress there. A lot of progress in the West Stand in the General Access area's. Much higher standard than you would expect, compared to other stadiums. I have no doubt that the internals would be finished by end of July, at the latest.

A lot of staff inside as well, you really can't judge the staff numbers by the Live Cams, there are so many hidden from view. Asked quite a few questions regarding finishing times etc. Pretty certain the stadium will be "ready" for August to allow the test events, seemed very keen to use the word "ready" than "finished". As mentioned by someone earlier (forgot username), there are a view tweaks that have been made, which have no been made public, which would be appreciated by fans. Was not told details, just that more news will filter out as stadium gets closer to being "ready".

We did have a sneaky meet with Mr Levy at Lilywhite House, who just smiled and laughed when I asked him if Bale was coming home

Am I the only one worried that the corprateness is gonna hurt the atmosphere. I don't want away fans to be comfortable I want them to be intimidated.

We'll just have to shout and sing louder from the Park Lane end(y)
