God I hope we lose soon.

It's so difficult to find something to moan about.

I remember when the stadium was being built people were moaning about how blue the roof was (from aerial photos) as opposed to "clear see through". The other classic moan was about a fan who complained that there was a possibility of getting wet if it rained. Apparently he was thinking of getting a season ticket in the front six rows and no-one from the club mentioned the rain aspect. All this before the Amex had been completed. You can't win, can you? :shootself

At least the:-

I do remember that grizzle. I think it was because in some of the original concept artwork, the roof had looked more glassy and transluscent.

What you need is a majestic bird of prey to scare the filthy seagulls away.
Problem solved :thumbsup:

Perhaps we can employ children to do it... some of them weigh very little. Best not use the fat ones.

A flawless plan. Weather permitting, of course.....

Alternatively, why not use birds of prey? If we make them fast overnight they'd both be hungrier, and less inclined to swap seagill shit with their own. Sorted.

I sit towards the back of the WSU the roof is covered in Bird crap and other filth, So I would imagine filth rain water and what not has made the roof lose its colour slighty just like any car would unless it was regually cleaned.

Was there clutter in the gutter?
If there was then the club knows what it has to do......

Strange that we have a nickname which you call filthy!!!

I like the seagulls swooping through the stadium during a match. However, would be good if we could stop them s******g on the roof.

We've already got our own peregrine falcon nesting in the roof, who seems to get on well with our herring gulls.

Was it designed to look like a giant rugby ball or is that just a coincidence?

The enormous glass roof of the humongousTrafford (shopping) Centre in Manchester was utterly crystal clear pristine t'uther day. It's tempting to say it's all the rainfall, but it's more likely some type of self-cleaning glass (possibly).

Does it nest in the roof ? When I did the stadium tour the guide said one of the groundstaff was a raptor enthusiast and kept it and took it along to work.......

I wouldn't believe a word those guides say, as some of them make it up as they go along.
The falcon has been seen in the roof during games. If you kept a falcon, would you bring it in & allow it to fly freely during a match?
