Hi, new on here. I have genuine concerns about the stadium being ready. We are less than six weeks away from the Liverpool game and the stadium doesn't look anywhere near ready. Chris Cowlin (youtube) had builders shouting to him that there was no way the stadium would be finished, and even as the most optimistic supporter in the world he is starting to look doubtful. The pitch isn't laid, many seats need installing, the roof isn't complete, and the outside looks the same as it did months ago. What concerns me the most is the lack of apparent urgency. There always appears to be so little going on.

It's not going to be finished for Liverpool, but it will be operational. Think the 2nd Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Let's just hope we've got a better protected shield generator.

We did have a great shield generator but it only had a year left on its on of guarantee so we flogged it.

Did anyone try the Falafel and Cous-Cous salad?

Yeah, they sat and ate it in the 'safe space'.

I would say your bang on. I just think it's a bit embarrassing that there will be swathes of panelling missing from the outside of the stadium, and have no doubt the media will be focusing on it. What's more, the stadium looks like toilet seat from the top

Embarrassing?

Do you know what's embarrassing?

I'm sure the media will focus on it, but as long as we focus on what happens inside.
From what we are seeing and hearing from those lucky enough to get a look around we will be delivering an amazing stadium that offers a lot more than many other stadiums.
I see nothing embarrassing about how its coming together.

Frustrating at time, maybe, but even with the cameras on 24/7 We only see a fraction on the work going on.

It will indeed be a fantastic stadium, and of that I have no doubt. What I find frustrating is that there are swathes of panelling missing from the outside, but when ever I look on the micro site nobody is doing anything. Of course, there must be reasons, but for the life of me I can't think what they area

I honestly don't think the media will give two hoots as to the exterior of the stadium or some superficial work outstanding on the first day. From the description above from Saturday I'd say they're more likely to be blown away by what seems to be a pretty stunning place to watch football. And that will be with 62,000 there, not a few hundred staff on orientation.

Too early to say obviously, but I'm very optimistic that the club have got this spot on and delivered a home we're going to love and other teams will envy. Arsenal and West Ham fans in particular are going to be sick comparing it to what they have.

From my limited understanding and from just reading this thread, I believe they are focusing on those items on the critical path, that will be require completion in order to pass safety certificates etc.

Panelling at the end of the day is just aesthetics. Although I agree with you that it would be nice to have a more finished appearance, important work must be taking precedence elsewhere (inside).

I suspect that the media people will be more concerned with how much free food and booze they can blag.

Don't fly over it then





Yet another negative mind enters the room

 

[Dougal]

With the Mickey Mousers in town I don’t care if the materials are on the stadium or in a containers as long as they are bolted down or locked away.

Looks like the first batch of turf has been delivered.

As far as the exterior is concerned I doubt any panelling will be missing. I’d imagine worse case is the veil won’t be complete which is a bit of a shame especially on the west stand. Although pretty epic from the exterior without the veil the west entrance does look a tad office block like. Hopefully they can get it on in time.

At that price I'm actually tempted to try it for a game just to see what it's like. Can probably re-sell my ST seat for £50 so that it's effectively a £75 upgrade. Could be clever marketing: get some people in there relatively cheap and hope they like it enough to do it again.
