[Albion] Amex Roof

[HantsSeagull]

I assume that scaffolding and the netting on the roof is there to enable fitting the new screen that will hang from the roof (if the drawings we saw on the club website are correct).

Was told it was safe standing.
Also heard TB might be suing the roof providers.

I went on a tour yesterday too. Couldn’t see much work being done on the northeast corner but my seat in N1E was under scaffolding

Aha! So that’s what the new away end will look like.

The rail seating already in by the looks of it

Doing the tour again on Saturday for the first time since a pre-opening tour in 2011. No spoilers please, but was it good? Anywhere to get a snack these days (like old Dicks Bar).

What time is your tour next Saturday?
Yesterday there was a special event on in the Terrace and so it was open for those attending.
Normally it is not open at weekends
It is open 9am until about 3pm most weekdays

Did you happen to take any photos around the stadium? I heard they have already started work on the north east corner which I assume is where the police box is going. Any other developments?

I hope the new plod box is not going to be another bolt on carbuncle. Do you what they are going to do?

Yes it was a slightly different tour to the ones done previously.
Nothing in the stadium to have snacks-wise but I was hoping to go into the Terrace afterwards anyway. Unfortunately it closed at 2pm, so we were too late!

We got told the scaffolding was there as part of the safe standing works.

I did notice a couple of extra Nike Swooshes though…

 

[RandyWanger]

It was beautiful.

Ah ok. Not sure why you'd need all that scaffolding to do safe standing though.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Ah ok. Not sure why you'd need all that scaffolding to do safe standing though.

They're attaching the harnesses that'll hang down from the roof for everybody to strap into to make sure they don't fall over.

We're taking this Safe Standing shit seriously.

Yeah that did cross my mind too!

Yeah. It's my Father's Day gift from my son to all go with his 11yr old lad. And Mrs Earle. 11yr old likes Piglets Pies.
