Same behind the other goal as well I believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Indeed. Shades of Charleoi during Euro 2000 when they had an additional two tiers of temporary seating, scaffolds and all, that were ridiculously steep at the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 RIP Vicente Calderon. Your turf was graced by some of the world's finest including Jamie Langfield, Michael Hart and Zander Diamond.

HibeeJibee Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Sensible solution, IMO. "Downsize" to smaller capacity afterwards. e.g. Sao Paolo, 2014: Edited October 4, 2017 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That monstrosity would not get a safety certificate in this country. I'm amazed that FIFA has approved it but money talks very loudly in football! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) In both cases there appear to be access tunnels partway down the stand. Do we know there are only toilets and serveries on the ground, or is there any intermediate deck? There are monster stands here e.g. at Newcastle: Edited October 5, 2017 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I highly doubt the top half of the stand will be used, it'll be purely for number of seats. All the wee sweetie wives having a meltdown over safety can probably relax about the chances of folk plummeting 100ft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest thing to it here is the old and new temporary stadia for the Edinburgh TatooAlthough the Yekaterinburg one isn't cantilevered on the top of a hill to overhang a sheer drop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Ton Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 didn't catch that on my last only visit to ET . reminds me of one of the building sites I was on and had to agree a detail which meant going to the top corner edge of the scaffold. while I had years of working at heights I didn't fancy being there long. Not sure how people not used to working at heights will cope, vertigo attack and then need to crawl out, hope the pubs aren't shut by the time they make it to safety. Puts in perspective the feeling from the Ibrox upper deck fronts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 We're now looking at the prospect of the New Nou Mestalla, good contest between Aberdeen and Valencia to see who can get the stadium built first. http://en.valenciacf.com/ver/74635/un-proyecto-renovado-para-el-nuevo-estadio-con-el-aficionado-en-el-centro-de-las-prioridades.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Eventually! They've been planning that for what, over a decade? Certainly back when they were Champions League regulars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 There was a Scottish, Hearts supporting, US based journo on the radio at some God forsaken hour a few days ago talking about the Jekaterinberg Stadium. I was admittedly half asleep at the time but I picked up that they were plodding on building the stadium when it was realised it was going to be too small a capacity for the World Cup. They then decided to knock chunks out of the perimeter wall to add the temporary stands to make up the numbers. If I got it right then it's a tad ridiculous even for the Russians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
