StevO Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Another section of the roof truss has been put up on the north stand. More roof panels on the north stand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 On the latest club video they make reference to the west stand being the main stand, it’s the first time I think they have done that. As obvious as it may be that it’s the main stand, I believe it’s only ever been labelled the west stand.

Agreed mate, I didn't mean to make it sound like a criticism, after all they could have just left a plain expanse of brickwork and we would have all said nothing. So to get the design harking back to the Old Lady is creative. Also I would just like to add that if it's to subtle the pattern will possibly get lost, with the ageing and weathering of the brick elevations.

It would have stood out more, but they have used two shades of bricks that are used in current dock buildings. That’s so it doesn’t stand out, was a subtle design to start with. I’d expect it to look a bit more obvious when it’s finished and you’re stood looking up at it from outside. Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Get the subtleness. Maybe they wanted it to blend in (at one time they were trying to keep the historic designation right?) or maybe cost or maybe an artistic decision. The thing I do not get about the brickwork is the varying widths and spacing. Maybe there is a structural reason or maybe it is an artistic decision? My brain instantly wants to make the spacing and widths equal. Then again maybe I am boring? haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 If it wasn't for the sanctions set by governments round the world Usmanov would still be involved with the club, even with the Russians invasion of Ukraine Moshiri wouldn't have severed ties with Usmanov because of his own moral compass, he did so because he was given no other choice. So whether some like it or not we surely can't be surprised that he would take the money of any person or country no matter what atrocities they have been involved in.

I was hoping with Putins pal out of the picture we'd go for something slightly more positive, not representing an even worse state of affairs.

Newty82 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I don't know if this has been touched on, but taking into account how the club is being run, my fear is that we are going to end up without a home that belongs to us. Instead, we'll be paying daft sums in rent and be at the mercy of a stadium owner. Seen it happen to multiple clubs over the years. Never ends well on the football side of things.

StevO Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The atmosphere amongst the fan base is so obviously low that the next section of roof truss has been fitted on the south stand today and hardly anyone has filmed it.
