Cheers Jon :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

My opinion of it, it actually looks totally out of place when you look at it from outside.

Do you think Tan might just change to rest of the outside to match the new stand ?

Looking at those pictures, I would guess that the blue, white and grey panelling will change on the two sections before the turn of the corner and plastic clear sheeting starts.

Good photos Jon :ayatollah:

Can we please, please, please lose the clear plastic corrugated corners. Get some smoked glass a back light them.

All well and good to stick in more seats but I'd rather 25,000 seats and an iconic exterior. THAT we do not have.

There's no shortage of quality in the stadium cladding. In the original detail plans the plastic as you call it is indeed a high grade corrugated polycarbonate and the panels are not sheeting as some say but 100mm core filled insular panels. All in all its a very high expensive spec. Think what puts people off is the fact it's multi coloured. Many stadiums are only clad on the one side and the rest of the elevations left as open trestle design reducing the concourse enclosure areas.
