What a white elephant. What is the point in paying millions to cover up rusting corrugated metal sheeting with glorified plasterboard? I guess this means that their plans for a new stadium have been scrapped.

Maybe there's more to be done to it, but on that photo alone, I can't help wondering why they've bothered. It still looks like a hovel. Just a different coloured hovel.
As my wise daughter says, you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter. Looks like they didn't even bother to do that.

That's a great shout. It does look like a big tent now.
As opposed to several shanty town shacks like it did before.
