New stadium thread

Just about everywhere has made huge changes in the last few days. The frames for the glass on the south stand atrium are being installed as I speak. Most of the roof has been installed.

 

This definitely going to be ready for September?

When's the scheduled test ecenta so to speak?

 

Yes, ready for test events in August, barring a roofing disaster. Definitely. Shop ready for the kit launch in late July/early August? Yes. We're too close to launch for there to be major concerns that haven't surfaced. Will we have contingency plans? Sure.

Discount the hacks and stuff on Twitter. The club have been advertising it as the only venue for CL in London this season. We're ultra-cautious. No way we'd do that if we had concerns. Season tickets sold as are corporate facilities and there are people buying those who have posted on Skyscraper City that Daniel Levy personally reassured them that it will be ready.

Finished? Your guess is as good as mine. There's so many parts to this development - stadium, hotel, ticket office, mentally dangerous sport centre,medical centre, museum, housing, etc., etc. There will probably be construction ongoing for 4 or 5 years just on our bit. Add 10 years for the High Road.

 

Thanks for that Brian.

Yeah I don't do Twitter or anything, this thread is literally the only place I've followed this.

Want to try and get up next season.

 

Apparently, away fan facilities are just as good as those for home fans and will be mood lit in your team's colours.....even red. It is supposed to be stunning and on a different planet to anything else in Europe. We shall see.......it's all a bit like Christmas. I will probably get socks.

 

I assume then for ArsenalFanTV the lighting will be
strobe-based at the brains' optical resonance frequency
(in keeping with their "mood" ) .

 

Are you trying to say they are likely to go epileptic with their teams performance?

 

"Dim" was right there!

 

Should just turn all the lights off.

 

First bit of greenery is visible where the pitch should be. Guess they're getting the astro-turf in.

 

Cheesy socks!!!

Chris Cowlin has interrupted his charity run around the country to bring us our weekly update - well done to him great work.

 

New Stadium is going green...

 

Agoraphobes can look away now...

 

For those who watch the live stream nearly all the cameras are offline at the moment. The club is trying to have them rebooted.

 

One sport down, one to go...

 

The no 6 Webcam has had a number of guys seen sweeping the terracing just in front of the camera in the new North stand upper tier. Seems a bit premature

 

OK - they are now fitting seats there.....
