Yet another master stroke from Levy. Kane out for a month or so, Daniel chips in with a proven Fox in the Box.
Can't love the man enough.

Maybe he fears something similar happening to him which is why he never goes near a transfer window....Yet another master stroke from Levy. Kane out for a month or so, Daniel chips in with a proven Fox in the Box.

If this is honestly true its cunty in the extreme.
Do fuck off.
You really don't see this?
:dembelewtf:
For reference, the East Stand cladding most definitely went up faster than the West Stand's (whether that made a difference to the builders' adherence to the stipulated layout or otherwise).
Some people like the cladding, a few do not
Some don't like the way the different 'shades of grey' (or is that Gray) are arranged
Some don't like that some of the panels are open (a few for ventilation of machinery but most purely cosmetic reasons) and others shut
But its all part of the final design - its not a random builders choice
And a good afternoon to you too
It's all very well architects designing this stuff, but it's not always practical; how many relatively new buildings have netting and spikes stuck on them after a few years to deter nesting/roosting birds.
I'm concerned that it will begin to look a bit shit once it gets a few pigeons nesting in it and crapping on it and some Tesco (or more likely Sainsbury's) carrier bags and other litter gets caught in it.

That's always been the design. Those panels can't be fitted any other way as the frame they're on accomodates them like that.
Look at this image that shows loads of panels "open":
Wait, I'm not sure that you two get what I was trying to say:
> I like the cladding
> I like the choice of aluminium and the varying transparency
> I like the fact that some of them are at a permanent 'open' and catch sunlight differently as the day progresses
My issue is that while the placement of 'open' panel sections is nicely pseudo-random on the West stand, their placement on the East stand looks comparatively naff - as specifically circled in the screenshot I posted.
For reference, the East Stand cladding most definitely went up faster than the West Stand's (whether that made a difference to the builders' adherence to the stipulated layout or otherwise).
The west stand doesn't have as much plant placed along it, most of it on that side is pushed out to the corners (N/W and S/W), whereas on the East Stand that strip is almost entirely there because there is plant behind it. The panels are open where there is the plant so that it is ventilated and therefore cooled.
Ah, if that's the reason for it, then fair enough (though it could be visually balanced with a few more 'open' underneath to blend it better).
It's somewhat moot anyway as the West Stand will be the one focussed upon for publicity purposes/TV broadcasts with the exception of NFL.
But fuck NFL.
The'll be getting fuck all cheese, that's for sure.
I hope they’ve checked the spelling on all the safety signs.
When you say 'open' what do you mean? The 'open' panels have glass in them.
The metal panels are all perforated, some of them are not flat but are "open" at an angle. Behind most of these open perforated metal panels is the plant (the generators, air ducts, compressors, air con units etc.etc..) no plant is behind glass panels, they are deliberately put this way so they are kept cool and ventilated.
The 'open' perforated panels have glass IN them. They are not 'open' in that sense. Only for light.
They don't (well 80% of them). There is nothing behind them apart from plant. I not sure if we are talking at cross purposes here, the outer skin, the stuff on the framework are metal perforated panels, some of them have lights on the edge, and I'm guessing others have lights behind them (they shine through the perforations). The glass is the "skin/wall" at the next layer, behind some of the perforated panels. There is absolutely no glass in the perforated panels themselves.
