here here. Wasn't the seat replacement supposed to be finished by the weekend for the anniversary? Disgraceful. 20 year anniversary and the ground looks 40 year old.
Whilst I agree we should be replacing the "pink" ones - not sure I'd call him tight for not doing so - how much do you reckon it'd cost to replace all of the faded seats with new ones? I reckon a million plus personally (40000 seats multiplied by the cost of the seats plus the cost of fitting?)
On reflection, I hope they rip them out of the south stand and replace it with standing room only. Then put replace all the gash looking pink ones. That'll save the kernt a few bob
Maybe we should take the really cheap route and change the stripes on the strip to match the yearly seat colour.
Probably cost less than the interest he earns on his billions before he's had his morning ****. If your trying to sell your house you tidy up and cut the lawns before a viewing. He's a right **** who doesn't really give a **** about us. We have a great stadium and a billionaire should take pride in appearance
This MIGHT just be one of the very few tricks Bob missed when he organised the build of the Stadium. It should have been obvious that those seats exposed to the sun would, in time, lighten. Those not exposed to the sun would keep, more or less, their original shade. OK so far? But we play in Red AND White. If our seating had been predominantly WHITE then this problem would have been minimised. The badge against a white background might have looked better too. Ah, HINDSIGHT, the only sort of vision to have.
I reckon we would have got used to them in time, in much the same way that we will get used to this Season's top by next May. However, you may have a point.
Never mind the colour of the seats. They have to play well to put enough bums on them to cover the sun damage. Why not make the seats clear and paint the floor underneath them. Problem solved! x
A few years ago I was watching an Athletics event on TV. The Stadium it was held in had a mixed colour plan where individual seat were coloured differently to the ones around them. The effect was to make the place look full on TV, from a distance. I thought at the time what a good idea it would have been for The Riverside.
Who lends us money 5 X the base rate after he's took the cash )…… he's raped the club ! Bri and others spotted this long ago. he' loathsome.
