I'm aware of the choices people have, I'm just saying I think the club could be a lot better with fans

How? What are they doing that irks you so?

I Didn't liken them to theives, was just using that analogy.

I'm just as greatful to the club for not putting up my ticket every year, as I am to the theives that don't rob my house. They both benefit me massively with their kindness and appreciation.

And a quick shout out to the local landlord for not putting up the price of my pint every month, you also do a lot to benefit me. I appreciate all these great things that happen to benefit me. We are a very lucky bunch at BFC

Someone needs to go to analogy school! Someone not breaking the law isn’t analogous to someone not doing something they are perfectly entitled to do. Your landlord analogy is a better attempt, although I suspect the price of a pint has gone up a few times since the last time season tickets went up.

Well I certainly don’t care about it. Seems to bother you quite a lot though. So nothing to back up your opinion then? No real surprise.

Rain tends to fall from the sky and blow in rather than up from the ground, so those in that side of the top tier are going to be more exposed.

Are they taking away the front vertical support on each stand too? Seems like it would weaken the roof(s)

They have replaced the one in the McIlroy stand (by the looks) with an upgraded one ... so you would think they are going to do the same in the JH stand.

I am sure they will have done the loadings under Building Regs

You cheeky monkey, I told you I were going for a while.

Which opinion do you want me to back up?

Well you might think that... But I can confirm that it was 'raining-upwards' on the front few rows of the CFS last Saturday... A very specific turf Moor phenomenon...

I’m surprised such a design wasn’t put forward. As it is, it’ll just look unfinished and a bit of an opportunity lost to properly close in a corner.

Us there another screen going up twixt bob lord and CF?

Turfytop · Post by **Turfytop** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 7:47 pm

Surely they are going to box it all in when they have finished, it’s going to look daft and unfinished otherwise, Does anyone know if barnfield have any expertise or experience in stadia design

Not sure why Barnfield would have any experience in stadia design. They’re building it not designing it.

If you want to see what the stands will look like then you can look at the planning drawings at the following link;

With a bit of photoshopping I suspect they'll look like this when removed.

Turfytop · Post by **Turfytop** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:07 pm

Any idea who did design it?

A London architects called Wilson Owens Owens who supposedly specialise in sporting venues.

Turfytop · Post by **Turfytop** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:13 pm

Cheers, my personal opinion, it just looks like they are making it up as they go along hoping for best, probably look a lot better when it’s finished tho, hopefully

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:13 pm

I wonder if it would look better with either side of the screen filled in as well?

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:15 pm

It would certainly look drier

Turfytop · Post by **Turfytop** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:17 pm

Look better with roof filled in aswell, but never mind

I can assure you they won’t be making it up as they go along.

Haha I know, but the screen and side bits of the stand seem to be an afterthought

Nah, it'll be state of the art, and look the mutts nuts.

No expense spared, and will be a fantastic addition worthy of a record profit making premier league outfit.

Well the screen on the north-east corner is shown on the plans which were drawn in February last year so clearly not an afterthought.

Blimey what was your anger like towards those that ran the club when we were crap?

The most important question remains to be answered.

Who gets to hold the remote?

Claretforever · Post by **Claretforever** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:34 pm

The screen being off centre looks stupid. Just move if over slightly FFS.

Don't know if this is on another thread today, but the other corner bit has been started..

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Wed Jan 23, 2019 1:28 pm

Last season this would of been a great view as we only ever scored in that net, but this year we're scoring in the CF end as well.

Is it just 3 goals at the Bee Hole End in the league this season?

Good for watching highlights after the goals have been scored!

You've even photoshopped out the structural vertical beams that hold the roof up.

That would massively increase the wind loading for not much gain - they'd be better putting up a long one of those multi-coloured strip curtains that everyone had at their front door in summer in the 60s to keep flies out.
That would stop the rain but could move with the wind !!

There’s a good update on the stadium developments on the lastest episode of Turf More, although it doesn’t specifically mention the screen.

They want people in the first bit in March and the second stand by the end of the season, but taking a phased approach. Full occupancy at the start of next season.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:46 pm

Possibly being removed in the result of VAR decisions shown on the screen so all fans can see this?

Whilst I could live without them they are good for;
- showing the match time
- showing replays of goals and chances
- listing the player names and numbers and who’s been booked

Basically thats exactly what they are there for.

I agree though before we had one Nobody missed it, but when it went I found myself looking for it and missing it ... like you say for the time etc.....
