Oh look somebody has cleaned the Metrolink Station roof and removed the sheep pen barriers.

That will lead to a bit of a free for all after the game though.

With the roof being that high everybody will get pissed wet through when the rain is belting it down and the wind is blowing it horizontal.

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.

Maybe it's to replicate the sails of the old ships.

The sails on the side of the hotel overlooking the new City Square stop a lot higher than the sails on the other side of the hotel.

I know there’s a roof to go on the City Square, but even so I don’t think it’s as high as where the sails currently stop?

Are there more sails to be added along the bottom or does the roof go that high? The effect of the sails is in the scale of the design - seems to lose a bit of impact if sails don’t cover the whole side?

Yea they stop short on the inside faces, that's as low as they will go. The roof doss sit high and does also bulge.

Don't think it is an issue that they are different you don't ever really properly read them together. There is a whole floor of sail-less curtain walling below the roof on the square side

Yeah makes sense. I just didn’t visualise the roof being that high when watching the videos. Certainly the grey cladding at the back of the stand facing city square I assumed would be mostly above the line of the roof - but obviously not!

Also thanks to @cpoverview for covering this in the latest video.

That Sky walk is looking even more scary in that rendering. Not for me.

I imagine it will be "shut due to adverse weather conditions" a lot.

I think a big disco ball in the middle of the claw would finish off the tacky look in style.
