New Stadium Details And Discussions

[spursfan77]

There’s something that’s been bothering me about the roof. How come the main grey panels and the glass panels aren’t flush. There seems to be a step up to the glass panels. I thought they’d be next to each other.

I see what you mean. I know nothing about construction, but my first thought was drainage. Maybe it's designed so that there are no drips falling off the ends onto the crowd/players below? I'm quite sure i'm way off the mark!

Wow did those cassettes go in fast! I feel like the last I remember there were only 4-5 installed!

Not really liking how the roof is coming together, I'm not quite sure how to put it in words... Look's a bit thin and unimpressive if that's basically how it will look with glass/cassette(?) (I know a very thin membrane then goes over the top, not aware of anything else substantial though). I was hoping for something more akin to the new Atletico stadium which I think looks really good.

Looks like there’s 3 teams working on them now

Anyone know what is at the very top of the south stand roof ? Looks like a plinth for something? Not in the original images?

You can Bunjee off it for £150 before kick off

Think they are just doing work on the back of the roof

They're rolling out the East side of the pitch atm

Please let it be a platform to house an enormous golden cockerel that will be seen from all over London!

I was wondering the same thing. I can't see it in the mock up images either. I wonder if a new cockerel (or the old one) will go there? and its one of those tweaks that was mentioned in that post a couple pages back.

Edit: beaten above

I believe you can abseil down from there when you do the sky walk

Indeed you can - all part of the experience that the club will be selling

I thought the abseiling platform had you abseiling down in front (glassy side) of the South stand, otherwise you'd have people milling on the pitch (when it's not parked/being played on) not sure the ground staff would be too chuffed with that.

The Skywalk bit has you walking up behind the cladding on the East Stand (I think) across the outer perimeter of the roof and down behind the cladding on the West stand. Unless I misread the plan (which is quite likely)

I'd think that there are additional layers of build-up to be applied to the solid panels, including the roofing membrane and anything that has to go below that, whereas the clear panels, by definition, have to have nothing on top of them, or they wouldn't be translucent.

EDIT: I see from the video that the eaves detail also projects above the opaque panels, which supports my suspicion.

thank fuck I hate heights, no way would I consider a drop like that even if I'm in a secure harness

I've just grabbed some shots of the details we did, there's quite a lot more work to go on! There is nothing sitting on top of the panels, how they're installed is how they'll be.

Fuck me i'm excited to get in there.

Find it highly amusing that after just over 10 years NWHL is gonna be so much better than the emirates and there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it for another 100 years ?

The old WHL was better than the emirates

T.hanks for those drawings. All is revealed now and understood.
