Grunts and groans?

Fucking road sweeper at the 2nd claw.

Throwing everything at it!

The kitchen sink, the Proper Treble, 4 PL titles in a row, etc.

It’s just the joint between old and new is metal

So there is going to be one or two rows with metal flooring and then the rest concrete?

Yep, getting it open for the Villa game is now imperative for the club.

I'm speculating but could be to do with how the build has been financed.

Presume the concourses/insides won’t be fully complete for Villa and a lot more work will be done in the summer? Can’t image Sky Bar being finished for then either but could be wrong. Looks like they’ve done a temp tar floor on the west side.

Which will be the first match when they sell tickets for the new seats?

Majority of concourse should be done, possibly only open some kiosks. No chance on sky bar, unlikely to have the pitch suites done either.

After being there yesterday and sharing those pics of ad hoardings coming down, I did start to wonder whether there's a big push to get it open for the Arsenal game..

I'm sure those on here with more knowledge than me might poo poo the idea but can you imagine how good that would be?

Sorry to "poo poo' but no chance unfortunately.

Shame isn't it. Last game of the season more likely then it seems

If we can win the League, go all out for the Villa game, but if not, just get it properly sorted for the first game of next season, à la the South Stand 3rd Tier!

I'm still going with they'll get it open earlier.

Just my own take.

Yeah twas always so. It is a prefavticaterd panel at the joint. I'll ping the detail at some point if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

will it stand up to a Poznan when we win the league in May? I remember Wembley wobbling a bit against the rags in 2011!

 

[richards30]

Still hate the corners and wish they would fill them in with some panelling to hide the mess

Ok thanks for clarification

Can't see how its possible with the position of the build unless they partially open it for a test event and that would need the palace game being the last week of the season.
