New Stadium Details And Discussions

[Colonel_Klinck]

With our world class footy stadium edging ever closer to completion it’s nice to remind ourselves of just what West Ham fans think of their rented home in their own stadium thread

I was also at the Foo Fighters last Saturday and so I kinda broke my vow to never go to the stadium again, though was specifically talking about home games.

Anyway, gig was decent.
But, the whole place is horrible; the surrounding area, the shops, the consumerism, the people, the walk, the crowds, the infrastructure.... the whole lot ****ing disgusts me.

Live stream 6 has gone down, there is a mobile crane inside at the north end so maybe they are starting to take the cranes at the north end down soon.

Stream 6 is back up

Live cam 6 is back up

That’s the NW end, not the SE. Unless you’re talking about a different crane. Also explains why they covered up the north end of the NFL pitch since they’re driving heavy vehicles through there at the moment.

Yeah you’re right. It was the SE one that recently got converted into a different type of crane

Did anyone see what they did to the astro in order to roll the pitch tray out?

Was it just a flap that was folded up to expose the track or a little more complex?

Oh, I don't know. I did not see it. But, I assume someone did...





(I know that two fo the rails were covered by the touch lines of the NFL field, and those white "lines" were simply removed. Someone else has mentioned the NFL field is hot-glued in place, and simply is pulled up where the rails are located. But looking at the live stream now - I have no idea what they did to the NFL logo. I know the logo came in two pieces when it was installed left and right, but now it looks like the rail is exposed right through the middle. )

Find the cockerel story slightly hard to believe when you look at photo below. Hard to see there being room for it and if anything it would actually ruin the photo opportunity. View attachment 39204

I this where the abseil point will be on the sky walk stadium tour?

Yup making the cockerel there even more unlikely.

 

[Japseye]

its all go on site this morning, looks like the big red crane on the pitch is taking down both north stand cranes simultaneously and part of the football pitch has trundled out! Exciting times

Went past the new WHL today ..... looking immense

I would imagine the Cockerel will be placed on one of the plinths on the East stand roof.

More than likely Levy and Poch are pissing on each corner flag hole in some dark luck ceremony.
