New Stadium

[Blanchflower]

Apparently planning permission has gone in for a new toilet block under the stairs leading to Lilywhite House (from Glory-Glory).

That's shit news

no signs yet of a massive white cock

What's your email address?

 

[Oh FFS]

Where have you got that from? From what i can see hardly any have gone in block 529, the ones to the right of the gangway are the 1882s and only the front row have gone, the ones to the left of the gangway appear to be £1325 seats unless i am missing something?

I counted them all on the booking page.

Yes mate. Definitely. Bell me if you still have my number otherwise i will send it by PM

Cool, will confirm once I've got a ticket. No idea where to go pre game though.

Seats are going in, the video this chap has put on Twitter shows in the north upper, no signs yet of a massive white cock in the south

I love a massive white cock in the south. :townhmm:

Usually Moore Spice but it is too busy for big games (should be fine for Leicester then!)

Probably a crap view, but idea of ST prices?

As someone else alluded to a while ago in this thread, I think the roof going on is going to take away from the breath taking quality of the stadium. I think it's open top look gives a certain Colosseum type imagery that will be lost when it gets enclosed. Being able to see all the terracing makes it look much more impressive in the aerial shots than it will with the roof on.

Such a fucking shame we have to fill it with seats too. Imagine that behemoth full to the rafters of standing punters.

Looks superbly Lilywhite!

From SSC (JimB) - For some perspective, 2 years and 1 day ago:

And to remember that I used to get so excited at that stage too when another section had concrete poured!

You would think in this day and age there could be a technological solution to the dangers of Hillsborough that doesn't involve seating.

Anyone know if there's a place for the golden cockerels at new WHL?

In the museum

 

[BangkokSpud]

Massive clean up operation in the last few hours, reckon with no football tomorrow there's some big visit going on, maybe our new sponsors / naming partners ?????

 

[ArmadilloSackRace]

Is it me or are the seats going in pretty quickly?

At this rate they'll all be in in a few weeks, which will definitely give the illusion of the stadium being close to completion, even if there's loads of stuff out if sight that needs to be done

One of the SSC nerds has come up with this....that's a big fucking screen...and that crane driver has done a fucking job getting manoeuvred around it.
