Guest normyowl Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 After watching the abysm first half performance last saturday, I was getting tired of the half time entertainment of watching the grass grow, when I went for a walk to the rear of the North Stand by the North West Enclosure. On looking up for inspiration I noticed that all the reinforcing bars from the concrete were still sticking out of the concrete on the North West Enclosure. Is this work still on going or have the bars been forgotten to be cut off? Thinking further to how they played in the first half, I thought what a wonderful place it would be to do what they did in medieval times. Cut the heads off and put them on the bars sticking out. We could have put club captains, managers and piggies up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KivoOwl Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Jesus christ don't talk about those metal bars - for Sheffield United fans they automatically mean our ground is a deathtrap shithole. They prefer it if you put a bit of pink cladding over it. Then it's state of the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike84 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 To most pig supporters it makes the ground unsafe and a rusting ground that's falling down. What i believe they are actually there for is so if the ground is ever expanded/ developed it would make it easier to incorporate the current stand. The problem is it looks un finished, and the likelyhood of the ground being redeveloped any time soon is pretty slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls-swfc Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The original idea, was to leave the reinforcing bars (extending out from the concrete) so that the corner could be readily extended higher, to the same level as the top of the North Stand. However, this has never been done since I think there were planning issues with regards to blocking natural light to the Vere Roaders ! I think the re-developed 3D images of the NW corner shows this area at the same height as now (but leveled-off) and the proposed roof area angled up from the back. I would think the exposed bars will be cut off for a new facia when (if) this work commences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wenzdyboy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 It's about time the north-west corner and whole leppings lane area was redesigned. Too much of a reminder of 1989 everytime we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Briscoe Inferno Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 They need to clad the caging - I can remember Newcastle pi$$ing on everyone below after losing 2-1 in the first match back in Div. 2 in the '80-81 season - a skinny kid called Waddle came on as a sub for geordies who ran like an old codger and looked knackered after 5 minutes, I seem to remember.....
