What I'm still struggling to get my head around is a ground like Sellhurst Park which doesn't(??) have these systems in place is deem safe for thousands of fans to go every other week, while NWHL built to new higher building regs, better materials etc would be deemed unsafe without them??? I know I'm oversimplifying and almost certainly talking out of my backside here.I'm no expert on the subject, but in general terms fire and other regulations become more exacting from time to time - but only for buildings built after that time, they are rarely retrospective unless the regulation can easily be implemented in an older building.
Moving onto something I know about (bear with me its relevant) fire regulations in blocks of flats became far more exacting about 7 or 8 years ago for the 'common parts (broadly communal halls and stairs) by including these in the same fire regulation category as shops, hotels and other public buildings category - .before that the 'common parts' of blocks of flats were treated pretty much in the same way as individual homes.
So when The Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) https://sgsa.org.uk/insight/history-of-the-sgsa/ was established in 2011, taking over from the Football Licensing Authority (FLA) (itself only established in mid 1980's - after many stadia were built) a similar change in standard of regulation may well have occurred as the FLA regulations mainly were about an oversight on what the local councils did, which of course was variable by council.
I think it comes down to the old rule of new builds need to be built to current safety spec, old builds don't have to be retrospectively updated to the same spec.What I'm still struggling to get my head around is a ground like Sellhurst Park which doesn't(??) have these systems in place is deem safe for thousands of fans to go every other week, while NWHL built to new higher building regs, better materials etc would be deemed unsafe without them???

OCD kicking in again... the cladding panels above that screen and a few to the left of it seem to be open too wide.

Yeah I heard about some fancy backlighting, I wonder why they haven't tested it yet, every other fucking light in the place has got the full works...maybe they're waiting to get the cladding finished to get the back lighting on it and then get the full effect going.My understanding is that it will be back-lit eventually, so that is a rough approximation.

Isn't Selhurt Park getting renovated in sections? I know they got greenlit to build a new stand. So I assume all these features will be added during that process.What I'm still struggling to get my head around is a ground like Sellhurst Park which doesn't(??) have these systems in place is deem safe for thousands of fans to go every other week, while NWHL built to new higher building regs, better materials etc would be deemed unsafe without them???

Only aware that they have done something to the portacabin changing rooms (exactly what I don't know, they still look like Butlin caravans stacked on top of each other). They have or were going to do something to the Homesdale End but think that's now been put on ice and the kids in black costumes are back in the stand. They have plans in place to redevelop a new stadium, either with Sainsbury's or they are going to by the Sainsbury's on the site it shares with them.Isn't Selhurt Park getting renovated in sections?

Maybe it is Fulham then that got approved to build a entirely new stand.

I've lost track with what is going on there I know that they have publicised pictures of a new stadium development too, however, because their old stand (at the front) is listed they can't knock it down, thank God as it's a fantastic piece of football history, so any new development has to include it.Maybe it is Fulham then that got approved to build a entirely new stand.

Yeah I think you're thinking of FulhamMaybe it is Fulham then that got approved to build a entirely new stand. I remember it being one of them at least
West and South cladding are indeed nearly meeting in the middle:With the West stand cladding almost finished there are a couple of new cameras for the East Stand about to come online, someone on SSC got a sneak preview...
If some company is going to pay £20m per year for naming rights, trust me they are going to be using every square inch of that screen. That screen will be no different than those on the inside (maybe not show game footage due to licencing reasons) but the screen will be dynamic, with adds and content from the club to keep eyeballs onto it and therefore exposure to those who have stumped up the money.I still haven't been able to wrap my head around the screen shape on the outside of the west stand. Then I remembered them testing out the screen a few days back and it is possible to reason that they are in fact 2 screens by the two test patterns.
I looked at the old concept pictures of the stadium and didn't see this design in any of them.
The original design being a standard rectangle tv shape. So in my very dubious deductive reasoning I think I may have an answer. (forgive the bad drawing. Not great with a mouse)
Maybe??
Yes, I have had some time on my hands today.

That sounds very reasonable and of course it doesn't really matter, as it's inside the stadium is what matters most.If some company is going to pay £20m per year for naming rights, trust me they are going to be using every square inch of that screen.
