New Stadium Details And Discussions

And what would they claim is a 'normal surface'?

All teams will have different length grass, water it different amounts ect.
As long as the pitch isnt a danger to players then there is nothing the FA/PL can do unless they want to come down and sort the pitch themselves.

I believe the premier lge has a standard grass height for the pitches! Believe it or not think someone measures it on the day!

They have a max height.
And there are other rules, only one I remember is the length has to be the same all over the pitch. Couldn't have it long in the centre and short down the wings ect.

So someone would need to check on game day.

Think chris has it right. Remember wenger told the groundsman that he wanted the grass shorter. The groundsman refused as it would fuck up the pitch.

The music Edward is using recently is definitely more reflective and melancholy.

What are the 4 'Oil Rig' type towers in front of the South Stand?

I believe they are vents for the underground car park/pitch tray garage below.

That’s not true at all. Fire cables can get twisted and damaged where the conductors inside get broken
This often happens when wiring fp 200 (fire alarm cable) through the bends on metal conduit

That would not require a complete rewire.
Only the damaged cable would need replacing and thats easily tested to see which bits are fucked. FP200 is way more flexible than the old mineral cable so unless it was being installed by bricklayers I cant see that much being shagged.

Fracking towers. Always maximise opportunities.

I guess it’s also possible that the wiring diagrams/design of the system could be the problem and not the actual cabling ?

What is the big glass square building south of the new spurs shop ?

We must surely get an update this week. I would think the city date has to be firmed up and will also be the carabao draw for 3rd round and CL draw I believe.

This is my favourite video of the New Stadium. Its looks absolutely amazing. Also spoke to my friend who is an Electrical Engineer working on the New Stadium. He said the the media are making way too much out of the burst water pipe. Apparently it was a very minor incident blown way out of proportion by the media. Stadium should still open around November time ???❤

One that hasn't been churned up by players of a completely different sport, perhaps.
There are too many ifs so it is not worth worrying too much about this now.
I'll be happily to return to it later.

No it wouldn’t require a complete rewire but it still takes time to test,identify, and replace. If they are talking about wiring problems I’d imagine there are quite a few damages to cables.
A good electrician would obviously be able to wire fp200 cables through conduit but it is very tight to get 2 2.5mm fps down a 25mm conduit with bend boxes on it and not all electricians on the job are the best tbh.
It’s a design fault imo as fire alarm cables are designed to be run on tray not through conduit

Posted this on one of the Facebook pages I help to run, and some smart arse (called Donald O'Mahoney, in case anyone may know his supposed family) said this.........

Funny, my mate and family member are working on the site as well and they have been spot on, won't be finished for ages, not blowing my own trumpet, but I posted around January that it wouldn't be finished until around December, there's more than one leak, one leak doesn't flood the basement, the roof also leaks.

This is definitely a case of sour grapes buddy. We'll definitely be in this calendar year. I've gotten many videos from my friend but can't post them on the forum as he'd probably get fired. Email me buddy if you want to see them. The place is looking fantastic and will easily be the best in the UK if not the world. COYS ?❤

Again, this is the difference between "finished" and "ready to hold a football match".

The thread is peppered with these "I work on the site and it won't be finished for ages" second- and third-hand quotes and the silent consensus is that, if someone is working on the site, they must know.

Bollocks. On every large building site, you can effortlessly find 10 operatives who will tell you over a pint that the site is a fucking disaster area, that nothing arrives on time, that it won't be finished until months late, that the work is full of defects and that the management are fucking useless.

Let's get this straight, once and for all. This is the British building industry we're talking about. To one extent or another, every site is a mess, every development is plagued with late delivery of materials, every tradesperson who reckons they know whether the build is running late is talking through their arse (because they do not have access to the overall programme, nor the expertise to read it properly), every build is riddled with defects (it's the bane of the industry) that have to be rectified after handover and every tradesperson thinks their site is run by idiots.

Can we just keep a large bag of salt to the right hand side of each page on this thread, reserved for use next time some berk from the site tells his mate that the build is a mess and will never be finished? Even if it is, he doesn't know.

Oh no mate, I absolutely believe you. I posted what the guy on Facebook said, purely in hope that someone would appear and shoot the Facebook cockwomble down. I also posted the Hertyid itk - Exterior appearance of stadium irrelevant to us playing a home game there. This is fact. Club is still very much working on basis that Man City is our first home game. This is also fact. Turf will be ready (growing offsite as we speak). This is fact. Seats can be fitted in entire stadium from scratch in 11 days. This is also fact.

Everything else is conjecture.

and the following responses (between that same fella & myself) were made....

O'Mahoney : Irrelevant is crap, it's still a building site, if hs see it as a hazardous site they will shut it down, the club cannot afford anymore embarrassing problems and that would be one should anything happen...

Myself : No it's not crap. As long as the internals are signed off with safety certificates, the pitch is cleared by the PL/UEFA, as there are no threats top public safety outside the immediate area of the stadium, the appearance of 'the shell' is irrelevant.

Safety is why it's delayed, not because the outer shell doesn't look pretty.

O'Mahoney : The club will refuse, any reason for further embarrassment will not be tolerated, the ground will be open when all is completed....


I got fed up of the dick after that & didn't bother responding.

David, I only posted the above posts to show that there's idiots out there who think they know best & everyone else is wrong.

Definitely don't feed the troll buddy ?❤

HY again on coys

I've been on four of the five floors and walked around 3/4 of the stadium and it's all done. Only South Stand not yet completed interior.
