North Stand Construction Discussion

[BAB.DAB]

I take it that’s said in jest ? If not what exactly do you think is wrong ??

Salts in some places

 

[Centurions]

Not from the Etihad but from a stock image on the internet.

I'm fairly certain no one was thinking it was The Etihad Marvin, and if anyone did/does then I'll be lost for words.

Who are you blaming the efflorescence on , agreed that the brick is a poor choice , but not bad bricklaying , will weather off in due course

 

[burning blue soul]

Hotel brickwork.

Hotel dog leg.

Right claw.

Looks like it's been built by a YTS.

But yes, I was only jossing.

Many on here probably don’t know who Yosser is.
Classic comedy.

Why doesn’t everyone just wait until everything is finished? We have an owner pumping money into the facilities galore yet still negativity constantly? It’s fucking grey Manchester that the stadium is in which is a working class industrial area? If it was in Abu Dhabi it would no doubt be more flamboyant etc but planning wouldn’t have passed it either? We are fucking blessed to be getting what we are getting so let’s wait until the end at least before slagging it off.

Left claw, Hotel, and fan zone.

Those large expanses of grey look very bland to my cynical, jaded eyes. I suppose it ties in with the rest of the stadium, but I'm not keen on that either.

Wouldn’t call it a comedy, a drama with social commentary, of the Thatcher years, and it had a dark humour., but a tragic one.

 

[Marvin.]

If you watch the Everton Stadium videos in the Stadium topic, they have virtual shops where you buy food and drink without any staff. I imagine that that is coming in time to all football stadia in time but I am not expecting it in our new stand.

Funny and sad.

Just back fron the etihad video here

Yes “shaft wall” isn’t architecturally pleasing , to say the least , but the negativity about the brickwork is disconcerting to say the least, as a previous poster said why not leave it till it’s finished before criticising !

“I’m desperate, Dan!”

That one line made you laugh, cry and want to howl at the moon all at the same time.

Classic television from when the BBC were relevant.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Sheikh Mansour is bringing in his brickie to Improve the wall!

The grey cladding on the upper sides of the new stand looks far worse than the brickwork to me.

That can’t be the final finish, can it?

Wet bricks,
Storage, proper protection after the bricks have been laid.
Possible that some of the salts are down to the bricklayers

 

[bladdered]

We’ve been to Rotterdam, Monaco
Napoli and Rome
We still get wonky bricks
Wonky bricks at home
Wonky bricks at home…
