Wonder if that’s as far as the safe standing goes down (outside of the end blocks).View attachment 165923

Someone observe-guessed earlier that they might come down to the point where the silver railings stop. Which is another 4 rows.

The TV pundits studio was where the new screen has been put in the South/East corner. Wonder if the new location will be in the North/West corner where the club have their studio? Or are they planning a new studio in the South/West corner where there is no screen and the floor area has been added to over the summer?

They are in that corner but not where then screen is so are unaffected.

You can still see the tv studio on the photos, it hasn’t changed, to the left of the screen as you look at it.

Will you want 5, when we get 4.
Some poor clubs haven't got 1 .

No, because if we get another, all four corners will have one. Simple.

The new studio will be next to the Skybar in the North Stand, per plans

I thought the club had already intimated there were no plans for a fourth screen ??and whatever happens above “ managers corner” will make it impossible. I think it more likely the north east one will go and the other corner will be upgraded , but only time will tell

Symmetry is overrated anyway. They are buildigns, not faces. And even faces are rarely truly symmetric.

I`m still surprised that they havent just put some cladding in behind to cover up the corners and make it look smarter? Maybe they will but it would cost such a small amount and make a such a difference to the look of everything.

The stadium was designed to allow airflow to run through it to keep the pitch looking at it's best, which is why we have slats in the corners as well

I know they aren’t planning another screen. I was referencing the previous reply

I think you will find that there are no symmetrical faces anywhere on the planet.

Too Jazzy?

Not jazzy enough :)

Obviously you have never been as drunk as me ;-)

A look from this morning. Video here

Just noticed the non-uniformity of seat spaces in the South Stand L3. Go to 6:19 onwards and you’ll see what I mean. What’s that about? Some seats are more spaced out than others.

It’s just a shame each sail wasn’t made in one piece.

They would have looked much better without the joins.

Saying that, the joins do look very flush at least.

Wouldn't be practically possible in one piece. Had they however colour matched the edges and the frame, the joints would have looked far far less obvious, as you eould be seeing the underside in white rather than dark grey, and only a slight shadow gap rather than a dark face.
