New Stadium

[FightingIllini]

I will not believe another word from a contractor or the club until the pitch is laid out, the test events have carried out and the first game at NWHL has been officially announced.

Done with all this speculation since everyone has been lying from the beginning.

Totally agree with the sentiment. In real life I'll get excited again once there's been a test event with a pitch laid, football being played, and fans in the stands. Obviously there can be complications from there, but that's when it will feel "real".

But I am not holding my breath as to when that will occur until it does. I don't know why obfuscation and dishonesty is necessary in this process, but that's obviously the decision that's been made.

From SSC poster 'Pete2Boogie (who I believe is connected to THST, but may be incorrect on thius)

he is.

Why would a construction company be responsible for the pitch? Doesn't seem to fall into the area of expertise

Any idea where this is, and what it's for?

I’d imagine it’s the press room.

It's either West or East stand the central bit. It will be for conferences, Woolwich is a very busy venue for conferences that are booked almost on a daily basis, from a company "kick off" meeting to meet and greets and presentations, to exhibitors to even a small scale charity boxing night. A very handy money spinner.

Oh and wedding receptions too, I went to an Indian wedding at the Emirates a couple of years ago.

looking at the external glazing, would suspect west stand(upper levels above entrance/foyer) #COYS

Press rooms are tiny compared to the room in the photo. Guido 🇺🇦 will be right

Could be anywhere where Spurs are giving a presentation, although its very possibly at NWHL..

Spurs have been out and about publicising/selling the facilities available for conferences, corporate events etc.

If anyone has a spare hour today or tomorrow there is this event on where you can get a virtual tour of the facilities.

Mace is project managing so I'd guess that they mean the specialist sub contractor will be laying the pitch during October - not Mace themselves

I’d imagine it’s the press room.

Images of the pressroom build have already been released. Below is the beginning of its creation. It's built like an auditorium, rows of seats in a curve each going up a level so people sitting behind get an uninterrupted view.

There are other mock-up photo's of what the pressroom would look like when finished, fucking amazing it looked too, posted in here somewhere in this thread. I've tried a quick search and can't find anything, but they are 100% posted in the stadium thread somewhere.

Great... MORE red!

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

Great... MORE red!

Fortunately it’s just colour coding to help them assemble the room.

Here's summit that's been bugging me, and I KNOW this is way too late to suggest, and obviously there are gonna be numerous reasons why it hasn't been done, but wouldn't STAGGERED seating in the stadium itself afford better all round view...

Rather than every seat being 'uniformly' behind the other (as we always seem to see in Stadia)

This CAN'T be the best layout for stadium seating... SURELY it would make more sense to have every row's seating 'half-a-seats's width BETWEEN the one behind...

So in effect, you'd be watching through the gap between the shoulders of the two people in front, rather than stuck behind that person's head!

Am I being mad, or would that actually work? Has it ever been done??
Somewhere MUST have tried it... Germany/Holland perhaps??

....shoulda e-mailed the club YEARS ago to suggest it... guess I'll just have to wait for WHL III to be built in another 100 years!

Actually, now I'm wondering whether anywhere is already like that, and I've never really noticed!

Look at all that temporary seating. It's the London Stadium mk2. Levy out!

It's shit like this that makes me paranoid about lazy workers who support opposition teams and sabotage.
