North Stand Construction Discussion

They'll presumably have to do that before the next home game on the 4th of April.

Would that really enough? It is not much of a barrier. And pulling the covers/netting closer to where people are sitting has its own risks. Would they not need something a bit more robust and 'permanent' put back up once the final row of seats and junction is in.

Alternatively, get it done and open it up properly earlier.

They could install the missing seats and then use “heras” fencing panels I suppose ?? Secure and see through !

It's all the sunshine bleaching the colour of the older seats or, the rain washing the colour away.

Probably the latter.

The sun its blue plastic not painted
Key Factors in Plastic Fading:
  • Photo-oxidation: UV light breaks polymer chains, making them highly reactive with oxygen in the atmosphere. This chemical reaction destroys the colorants and causes the plastic to become brittle.
  • Pigment Sensitivity: Organic pigments, often used for bright colors like red and blue, are particularly susceptible to breaking down under UV exposure.
  • Molecular Damage: The high-energy UV photons snap the molecular bonds of dyes, preventing them from interacting with light properly, which results in the loss of color.
  • Surface Degradation: The sun's UV rays can strip away the surface pigments, creating a hazy, white, or oxidized layer on top of the plastic

well.... Obviously
 
I did a 15 minute walk around video this Afternoon using my mobile phone.

There’s no talking by me, just sounds of different things as I walked around the construction site.

Some bits of the video maybe a bit boring, so you might want to fast forward those bits?

Please don’t expect anything polished or professional.

I’ll upload the video to Youtube later on and post it on the thread.
 
With the removal of the hoardings, it looks like there are about 2 rows of seats that can be put back into what was the old NL2 stand. When the construction started, I think we lost a small number of seats due to the erection of those hoardings. If the builders managed to add 7910 seats, I think our capacity will go up by around 8,200 on the current working capacity of 52,600. We could take it higher if we reduce the amount of seats currently taped off in the South Stand due to the action of Liverpool fans in the away end.

Don’t like the floor on the new stand as it looks very odd , looks like metal or something instead of concrete?
