Amex roof

[Not Andy Naylor]

I drove past the Amex the other day from the Woodingdean direction and couldn't help noticing that the roof is no longer the original vibrant blue but a rather dull grey. No current pix, I'm afraid (which I realise makes this post worthless) but the two stock photos I found suggest that the panels had already begun to fade pretty alarmingly when the second one was taken, in contrast to the seats. Should TB ask for replacements, or at least a refund?

I'm sure your visual check is correct, but the vibrant blue photo is from a summy day, whereas the duller one is on a cloudy day - I'm sure a lot of the 'colour' is a reflection of the sky colour.

The lighting conditions in both those photos are completely different, as are most of the colours in them - not just the roof.

The sun is in a different position in both photos - look at the shadows.

I noticed that too, on several occasions recently. But like other posters, assumed that, as with the sea, the apparent colour of those translucent panels depends heavily on that of the sky.

Maybe not?

probably all the bird crap.

Should tourists to Egypt ask for a refund too?

Even on a sunny day, the blue is now more grey.

Regardless of the weather and light conditions, the roof colour has indeed faded considerably.
I know this to be a FACT, as I trust my SOURCE impeccably.

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.

Poyet did mention something about the roof at the Amex. Maybe he had a point?

From the top of the downs when walking it certainly still looks blue on a sunny day and far greyer when cloudy

Can't see them. Is Cliff with them?

No, he's at the Elm Guest House.

The fading is obviously due to the unprecedented hours of bright sunshine we have enjoyed over this marvellous Great British summer

The evident and catastrophic floodlight failure in picture two proves conclusivley that Pyramids FC is not Premier League ready. So yes.

That's beautiful.

And deep.

 

[Questions]

Anyway colour aside are they going to keep the roof open or will it be closed ?

 

[Stat Brother]

God I hope we lose soon.

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