South Stand Cladding (again)

[eastlondonseagull]

@DarrenFreemansPerm posted this pic on Ask The Club, and Insider reiterated that the gaps, circled, will not be clad.



I'm not sure whether this has been explained already, but are the club's expansion plans going to include clipping on an extra tier in the South West corner? Because I'd always thought the East was the only stand having an upper tier added. If not, why is this great big chunk being left unfinished?!...

it will look crap if not finished

Hate to say it but it really will loook SHITHOUSE with those big gaps

It's an accent feature. It matches the arches, and carries a theme throughout the stadium. I like it.

That isn't what insider said (as I interpreted the question and answer).

@DarrenFreemansPerm started his question 'do you know if...'

@Insider answered 'no'

From that, I would presume insider does not know whether the gaps will be filled.

We have spent so much money on this stadium, which such extraordinary lengths gone to to ensure every last detail is considered, and teh best solution drawn up, that there is NO WAY they have just decided to order x amount of cladding and if it's not enough, oh well.

There simply MUST be a plan for these areas that we are yet to be told about. There is no way we are leaving it looking like that for long, if at all. Wouldn't be at all surprised if there are some sort of fancy advertising or murals filling those spaces by the time we play a game there.

If it was at any other stadium at this level we wouldn't bat an eyelid. But as so many details at the Amex are spot on, and of the highest spec, it's really jarring to see those gaps. I keep hoping there's a grand plan to make those areas look brilliant but I'm doubtful at this late stage.

To be honest, had you not ringed them in red, I wouldn't have noticed them.

It does not looked finished because it is not finished. Not yet anyway. It will not look finished until the full capacity has been achieved and this may be in a years time or.......never. My guess it will looked finished by 2014

What about the gap in the middle on the right hand side of the East Stand (looking at that picture)?
