Mikky Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 1 minute ago, Doctor Zaius said: Any bubble wrap / bowl design will look shite from both the inside and the outside. SJP is iconic partly due to the fact that you can see these massive stands from across the city. A 'bubble wrap' stadium wouldn't have that affect. Has there been an new stadium built with steep, imposing stands? Or are they all these identikit bowls? These recent mockups are horrific. This is one design I love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I love how San Memès looks externally, but it is a bit bowl-like inside. In person it's quite high-up and you could see it from all over the city but most of the city blocks have tall buildings so you'd only catch it from certain places. How they did it might be how we'd do it (building next to StJ ames') : Edited January 31 by HawK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Not saying a wrap is my favourite option but the top end ones, not the Le Havre one will be the standard if that’s the route they go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Would anyone class the Sage as a bubble wrap like design? Something similar for a stadium could potentially be mind blowing. Edited January 31 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm not sure what anyone sees in these what I'm now learning are called bubble wrap stadiums. They seem to be popular? I think they will look so dated and embarrassing in 20 years time. I think they psychologically prep people to sit down and shut up, too, atmosphere-wise. "Come on kids, we're off to the mercury blob now". This is going to be imposed on the city for possibly 50 years. It should be future proofed as much as possible in terms of possible uses and aesthetics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Sorry I absolutely hate the Bernabeu. Looks great inside because it's basically still the same, and the functionality is great in terms of the pitch system, but it's fuck ugly IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm still partial to the exterior of The Emirates of all the more modern stadiums. It seems to have a bit more about it than most, though there are still some airport terminal vibes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) The company named in Hopes article did the Anfield redevelopment, was inside the main stand during the summer for a concert and it’s very nice, walked through the new Anfield Road End to get out and that seemed very basic on the inside and dull. Think their main stand does look alright from outside though, but St James is such a hotch potch of materials not sure what would look good.

They deliberately made it tight and steep to keep the feel of the old one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 2 hours ago, Dr.Spaceman said: I just assumed an extra 8k on the Gallowgate would mean a lot more corporate seats elsewhere. It would be funny if we went with the Gallowgate extension and those who didn't want a new ground were still missing out on the ballot every week. Not sure it would. Here we are just 5 days away from one of our biggest home games in years v Arsenal and you can go on the site now and buy a corporate seat if you like. Still 47 seats available in Wings when I checked before. For general seating our demand will be up there with any club. For corporate seating we're miles away. Put simply people up here just don't have the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put simply people up here just don't have the money. It's why we need to be able to spend on the squad to drive real success. That's what puts bums on seats once you get past the diehard support base and shoots you into the superleage echelons. It's also why the cartel have worked so hard to make sure we can't spend on the team. Go build a new training ground or a conference suite and you're fine.

Put simply people up here just don't have the money. I bought myself a ticket to the barracks as a birthday present. The next day the club rang me to see how I found it and would I like more corporate tickets. The lad on the phone was dead canny but I thought bit was telling it’s the only time the club have ever called me for feedback when I’ve had a ST for over 33 years and 400+ LP. They’re desperate to create a demand for hospitality that won’t be there until we’re winning silverware regularly (and even then we just don’t have the draw that London or NW clubs have). That’s not a bad thing imho (it makes us, us) but given restrictions it’s another thing that will impede our rise to the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Those guys filling the corporate seats at Spurs and Arsenal are in London anyway though. It's easy enough to take them to North London and give them a corporate football experience. There are not thousands and thousands of wealthy clients hanging around Stowell Street who are knocking back the chance of corporate at SJP because we haven't strengthened at RW for years and are just waiting for better football.

LFEE Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Shaking my head at most of you Do any of you actually watch the football whilst it’s going on? “I want it to look like this I don’t want it to look like that…” yada yada yada 1st world problems… You can tell some of you are locked out the ground if that’s your main concerns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
