Mendoza's Panoramic AMEX Photos 24/6/11

[Easy 10]

there will be nocladding, "what is the point when you are going to fill it in with seats" is the answer

I don't quite GET that. The seats arn't going to be suspended all the way up the walls are they.

If they're doing banners up behind the gaps in the East, then I assume they'll be doing something similar to cover the holes in the south.

If there's 200 pictures on your SD card may I suggest there should be 200 pictures in this thread

Holy f***.

 

[The Large One]

Don't know whether to weep or spaff.

Marvellous stuff.

they are photos of me, you dont need to see that, and there also some that were requested not to be put on line by the Mr Perry

The big screens don't look quite as big as I envisaged - or am I doing them a disservice?

Have a look at the pic with someone standing next to one. The webcam pics really do not do it justice.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here (on the Shiraz already so this might not make sense).

That big hole in the south-west corner - not only will they put seats in in the corner bit, but the middle tier from the West Stand will run round to the corner, covering where that hole is.

Feasible? Or bollocks?

Great photo's Mr. Mendoza!!

How many do you think you've taken over the years of construction Brett? And are you planning a book

Love this photo Just hope none of our dopes get caught!

Mmm...probably bollocks.

The East stand is ready for a 2nd tier of seating because there is a concourse floor in place behind it. There is no such concourse floor in the SW corner.

I would LOVE you to be right though.

I would think when they said theres going to be seats there they were talking about the cladding in the east stand...possibly I dont mind the gaps in the middle of the south as its nice and central but its the south west corner i cant understand......dont get me wrong im not complaining but just seems weird when everything else is finished to such a high standard.......cant see how any seats in the south west are going to cover that gap. If they were then why have they put cladding in all the other corners anyway.......fantastic pics 6th August cant come quick enough!!!!!!!

 

[Easy 10]

Exactly Smythe.

Exactly.

 

[mikes smalls]

Great set of pictures! Is it just me or does the half way line look a bit wiggly in your shots? I wouldn't be happy with that!

guessing it will be like Derby's ground with a multi level box in the corner and another single box behind the goal. Would be an amazing view down the ground.

they must be very confident of dealing with access and egress issues.

Big thanks to Mendoza for those absolutely brilliant pictures.

Has there ever been a stadium as comprehensively beautiful as this ?

Absolutely Brilliant and I can't wait for 6th August (although I would be more than delighted if there was the opportunity of visiting before then).

WOW !

Cheers Mendoza i haven't seen my seat up close before

An absolutely stunning set of pictures Brett.
So much has happened inside in just a week.
Tremendous work. Well done.
