New Stadium

[Wolf]

Not too dissimilar to ours then?

Another example;


This was the situation of the brasilia stadium two months before its inauguration (Can be checked in the corresponding skyscrapercity thread)


16-3-2013

And this was the situation on the day of its inauguration (18-5-2013)

Its pretty decent to be honest. Thats what the going rate is. 20-25m is very expensive.

I think it's pretty good too. Don't know how long the deal would be but say six years it'd be £90M. I wouldn't be surprised if the deal was for a large portion up front as well which obviously would benefit us.

I arbor all these attempts at tree puns

Tree wanker!

Just noticed that the grass is not actually on the playing surface of the pitch trays but is probably AstroTurf on the angled ends of the trays...

Still those gaps Boltonspur ...

They must be expecting to keep them for a while, they're actually fencing them off...

watching Chris's latest video, there still looks a lot to do, yes lots of workers and materials on site/arriving but get too many men and many will be standing around,
before the Liverpool game we have to get in the test events so that we can have a licence to allow EPL games etc,
yes first test event can be with reduced access to the ground, so work can continue on the outside and inside of the stadium
hope the guys pull out all the stops in next few weeks and get it sorted

Key part of the video that no one seems to have mentioned on here yet. An electrician who recognised him apparently shouted the following:

"THIS STADIUM WILL NEVER EVER BE READY IN TIME. NOT A CHANCE. NOT A CHANCE."

"NO WAY, NO WAY WILL THIS BE DONE ON TIME."

Anecdote starts at around 18 minutes if anyone wants to watch.

Could be a wind up merchant, but I must admit the progress over the last month or so has been slower than I hoped we'd be seeing. Touch wood, 'finished' means everything being done, not the essentials for opening on time.

How the fuck does an electrician know whether it will be done on time.

I mean, he'll have better access/working knowledge than any of us on the internet do.

He'll have almost certainly talked to plenty of others on the site.

Sounds like some bloke who's doing a bit of wiring and looking around the gaff at other areas he has no idea about and commenting on it. An electrician giving ITK haha

But hes so far down the chain he only knows a limited amount. He'll have no idea about the whole thing on a project this size.

I hope you're right!

He's got the missing light switch in his pocket.

That's all well and good you can get a new light switch on the cheap. Who's got the missing Roop panels is the more important question.

Just watching the vid, and wondering if breeze blocks count as a brick

Asking for a friend.....

Or does the old dispensary frontage already count as brick laid. ..

Waiting to have some roofing work done. Been told they are behind schedule as hot weather has meant that workers need more breaks. Should not affect all of the work but some could be affected.
