South Stand Cladding (again)

[Hunting 784561]

Does kinda make sense - could see something like this going in there maybe:

Which I admit looks crap in that picture, but in person I remember thinking it lent a San-Siro esque feel to that corner.

It looks great, and is a good use of otherwise dead space.

I think Fulham also have something similar.

Why wouldn't they have been included in the original build plans though?

 

[Box of Frogs]

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

The East is still unfinished - not sure if anything more will be done to that bit of it though - due to be handed over at the end of this month..

The "Gaps" in the East and South stand are visible on the Video at the season ticket presentation so i guess that is how it will stay untill/ if work starts on expansion of the capacity.

Look at the space we are talking about, then look at this photo. This HAS to be what is planned. It just makes sense.

I actually like that as much as I hate the way it currently looks.


Meanwhile stand by for some serious flack from visiting supporters when they see it

They didn't realise the potential of selling all the initial hospitality boxes in such a short time ?

The corners are absolutely crying out to be developed like that corner at Derby, that would look ace. Just imagine it with corners filled like that and a second tier on the East. Wowzers! Art vs science is going on a tour soon and says he will ask about it.

Let's hope he doesn't ask the club's press officer.

dont mind the corporate boxes going in, but maybe not the best idea to have them over the away end? shame

 

[Stu1]

They've got something similar at Barnsley with a big inside and outside option for disabled support on the bottom level

 

[bennibenj]

hope they do something, was just assuming they would clad

Brighton Hove Albion - Community Stadium Explorer

The Unity app we saw at the season ticket presentation simply shows a hole behind the South stand a nd cladding in the SW corner

 

[Fungus]

Is that where the hotel overlooks the pitch?

 

[Acker79]

In case anyone is still iterested:

Two things......

Insider has confirmed no more cladding.

 

[Easy 10]

OK, no more cladding....but whats the REASON ?
They must have something planned construction-wise for those big f***-off holes in the South. I can't believe we've got maHOOsive gaps left like that for no apparent reason.

Its really BOTHERING me now, because its such an eyesore in an otherwise spectacular production.

 

[Turkey]

Perhaps its something to do with the customising of the away end? So needs to be changed match by match?

 

[Wilko]

I just do not understand this. £100 million on a stadium and it is left with ruddy great shithouse holes in it. Even if something is going there in the future then surely just whack some cheap cladding up for the time being until the next stage is ready to roll. Maybe it should not bother me as much but it REALLY does for some reason.

Does seem an odd idea to put boxes in the away end, so I reckon it's not that, but have no idea why gaps would be left like that.
