I agree. Was superb. Sound quality was amazing. Best indoor venue I've been to. Better than Knebworth that liam gig.

Ha we're going tonight, will report back (on gig and construction work/workers!)

The different shades in blue due to chairs being replaced etc over the years. Doesn’t look great.

Thought they just ran a flame over them? Look like new then.

The internals of the stadium look superb to me and hopefully when the expansion is finished the club will smarten up the exterior considerably, that does look shabby at this time.

The south corners are a bit of a mess because they went for a ‘temp’ solution to aid future side expansions. They rightfully ditched that idea with the North Stand.

It was No1 in Massive Chew Sets

Ha, I saw what you did there. Not sure anyone else did though. Still, it's not a 'tragedy'. Ahem.

Right, so nothing to do with the concrete pour, cheers. Sometimes, that is planned in and contractors get special dispensation to work round the clock, as it is the only way they can set large slabs. But if they are doing it elsewhere round the stand, then yeah they will be working loads all round. Probably trying to maximise the limited off season time, with good weather and longer days. We have seen on drone videos taken at weekends there is activity pretty much every day.

Sorry Coatigan, did you say 'with the good weather'!?

Na, the lighter ones are the ones bleached by the sun. Because they are always empty because we have no fans.

They need to pay people to sit in them on sunny days so they don't get any worse.

More likely is that there was more space to construct the supporting structure, the steelwork we see now, the South Stand is too close to the road

Poor Sheikh. Already buys uonall the tickets himself to boost our numbers, now he needs to pay people to stopnthem discolouring. And now will have another 8000 more!
