Ask the club - roof amex

[Marc]

its a flask with ORANGE JUICE innit....honest Guv!

 

[tottenhamseagull]

the only way I'm gonna get wet in my PLUSH WSU seat is if I spill my BEER at half-time!

Or pissing yourself at the amazing view.

 

[Napper]

It's the angles of the roof , especially as they go so high by the West Upper. Saying that the terracing does look totally soaked whenever we have a slight drop of rain.

West Up will be cosy now

 

[kevo]

This pic implies that it's only the first eight rows that will get wet - luckily I'm in row 9!

 

[8ace]

The prevailing wind is from the SW so the East and North stands will be the wettest I guess.
Of course if there is a particularly chilly east wind we'll get the worst of it in the West Upper.

 

[kevo]

So the question is would you rather be dry but cold or wet but warm....?!

Sideways and almost upward rain ?

I know Bloom wants the best of everything, but that would be some bloody sprinkler system!

Shit to be fair I didn't even consider this, my friend went and got my ticket not being able to get to the presentation I'm in row r in the middle of the west bottom tier , I'm going to get wet! I don't care tho! if people really moan about this then they need to put it into perspective!

Row R is a fair way back - you will probably be OK. It will only be the first few rows that are really badly affected.

And as you say, does it matter that much? Wherever you sit, there will be much more protection from the rain than we get at Withdean.

I would have thought that at the design stage of the stadium a lot of thought would have been put into the aerodynamics and their effect on the comfort of those seated within the arena. (ie windtunnel tests etc.). I still believe that once the superstructure is completed there will be less effect of the wind and rain upon those paying customers.

Eh-hem......This......Although in some conditions most people except upper west may get damp.

 

[Silverhatch]

Anyone know how many rows there are in the west lower?

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

Its so snug up here in the upper west central block. If the rain gets up here its going be one hell of a filthy day.

The only dirty water you'll get near up there is if the bar runs out of Hophead, and you have to hit the Harveys.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Anyone know how many rows there are in the west lower?

I'm Row S and it looked like there were another 8-10 rows behind us. So perhaps 30 rows?

"Windtunnel tests"

Its a STADIUM, not a bloody Mercedes.

Possibly getting Amex mixed up with Apex

No, the roof is completed. As with any stadium because of the height of the roof in driving rain conditions some areas will always be susceptible to rain or dampness. This is unavoidable unless we install a completely closed roof.

How much more simple do you want the answer to be...... there is a large hole in the middle where the pitch fits, and through which rain will fall.
