North Stand Construction Discussion

[Bournemouth Blue]

I stand corrected it’s only a partial roof mate which covers the stands, but it seems daft in this country that no stadium does given our weather! Why would Madrid need one they have fantastic weather!

I think there is a partial retractable roof at Wembley which can be retracted to let the sunlight get to the pitch but then protects fans from the elements on match days, but I can’t be bothered to Google it.
Whatever is there is there

I still hope they get to build the Herzog and de Meuron brick and iron stadium.

I've not seen the ground level view before, that is pretty impressive. I do hate the aerial view though.

It would be one of the best looking stadiums in the world if the proposal happened.

Madrid's weather isn't really that great. If I remember correctly the locals refer to it as 9 months of winter and 3 months of hell (or something similar). An overstatement of course but it really isn't as pleasant as many think.

It's stunning but not a chance it gets built. Build cost would be horrific.

The Etihad definitely needs a wrap, but that will come if and when the side stands are expanded.

The concrete spirals internally and externally are looking very dirty.

It's getting one when all the construction is finished

Is that when this expansion is completed though mate? Or if/when the sides are expanded further?

Looks hugely impressive (as all proposals should do) but I can't fathom logistically how this gets planning permission.

The pictures make it seem like the current Stamford Bridge stadium has acres of space, whilst in reality its located in an extremely dense populated area of London.

People could cite well Madrid have managed it but the club are very much intertwined politically in the Spanish capital. Chelsea don't have this weight within their local borough let alone the city of London.
