Kid Icarus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I can't get over those images being real like. I get that they're concepts, but fucking hell. Pride before a fall though if anyone saw the original designs for Neom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I like how they still have a fan zone underneath the roof/canopy, and I like the wrap around displays which are the modern and less obstructive way of having screens. Is it actually going to be a fanzone though, or is it just a club store in a separate building? Overall the design is a bit shit like. As someone has said, it’s like a circus tent, and it is, well a circus tent, a bit of the Millennium dome, and Royal Quays outlet park. I’d hope that our owners have a better design in mind for our stadium. Edited March 11 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I love how on back to back days, the owner simultaneously said they needed to cut 300 jobs otherwise they'd go out of business, then followed it up by announcing a 100000 all seater stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieT Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Hate everything about it. Feels like a homage to commercialism as opposed to catering to the average match going fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Prontonise Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Of course they use Norman Foster as well. One of the reasons for the shite architecture we see in our cities nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be in our new stadium before they are. Exactly it's 3 years and counting for our considerably richer owners to even decide if any movement is going on. If we got a decision tomorrow we're probably looking at 7-8 years at best for a new home, and probably 10 to stay where we are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Quote The stadium, and wider regeneration project, have the potential to deliver an additional £7.3bn per year to the UK economy which brings large-scale social and economic benefits to the community and wider region, including the possible creation of 92,000 new jobs, more than 17,000 new homes as well as driving an additional 1.8 million visitors annually.

gjohnson Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just now, Menace said: What? Well...apparently company that was going out of business by Xmas without sacrificing however many people to save a few maybe a couple of million a year ( no smart arse figures please) while still spending 100s millions a year on wages can suddenly commit to a multi billion project. As some one commented before total David Brent...struggling salesman on bicycle or newer flasher car etc...

Menace Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Absolutely incredible if Labour agree to this shite. Surely they can get some offshore funding similar to what Levy did with New White Hart Lane Edited March 11 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they get voted out come election time for having wasted money on the project will proceed to blame the previous govt for not funding the North. While whichever set of jizz monkeys that comes in will have to continue to fund, while being battered by Labour for continuing to wast money on a Labour approved taxpayer funded backhander for a massively rich Frank Gallagher lookalike There's not a decent political party in this country, but one thing you can guarantee is that Labour will spend your money now and your future money and improve the grand total of sod all Edited March 11 by gjohnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Well, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that the club is absolutely skint, so we're implementing sweeping cost cutting measures and most of you will lose your jobs. Those of you who are kept on won't get any free lunches, if you wanna stay. I know, gutting. On a more positive note, the good news is, we're building a £2bn megadome that looks like a circus big top. So, every cloud… You’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?

Abacus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 So, a prefab stadium with a plastic bag on top stuck on by 3 tentpoles for £2bn (funding tbc), at the worst time in years to be taking on more debt. Plus it looks absolutely terrible. I'm all in favour of this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
