I was about to ask if he had a rival called Drone King.

nice.

Quick question: will the expansion of Anfield allow it to host a Europa League final? (and presumably the Conference.)

My understanding is that Liverpool’s pitch is too short at 101m length by 68 width to hold European finals. UEFA require pitches to be a minimum of 105m by 68m

Why is there a 1970s scally Kopite in the encapsulated roof space of your drawing? Tradition? 🤔😊

Remember in the 70s when a few would climb up and sit on the kop roof and watch the game ...mad bastards

I remember it well. 

Those inside the roof, on the rafters, were like a gang of monkeys. I always expected one to fall off onto the crowd below but, thankfully, none ever did. Nutters they were. 🐒

[Son of Spion]

Did it for St Ettiene, got in late, was so packed couldn't make my way through to my usual spot with my mates in the middle, shinned up into the roof, even as a kid was scary got about twenty yards out, shit myself, got back down at halftime

I was right in the middle for St. Etienne. Got in very early though. What a night.

I'd never have had the nerve to climb up into the roof. I get queasy on a step ladder.

So the new stand won't have the external structural beams that we see on the other three stands? How have they managed that?

I think it’s going to be held up by drones

If I recall correctly, people who are familiar with such things were saying that the roof truss on this stand will be built into the roof itself rather than being above it. In the encapsulated roof section?

[Ghost Town]

Is such a thing even possible...?


...yes it is!

Thanks I see now, a picture paints a thousand words. As an Engineer, I find that forum incredibly interesting.

It's a pity we couldn't lengthen the pitch and have adjustable goalposts, but there's obviously very little point in doing so just for the chance to host a final.

I love the fact that on SSC there’s currently some guy getting wound up by the aesthetics of the join between the main stand and the new one, posting loads of diagrams suggesting how they ‘should have done it’. And on here… nothing. Not a thing for a week. No one gives a shit, just happy it’s getting done and look forward to a few pictures now and again.

That's SSC for you.

[Alan_X]

Had a quick look. As you say - SSC in a nutshell. No idea what they're looking at, don't understand drawings. Saying the Annie Road roof truss (which is being demolished) should be moved a few metres back. Mixing up the structural zone for the new roof truss with the actual truss for the Main Stand Roof and putting seating in it. Sorting out the corner detail by photoshopping out the Sir Kenny stand and replacing it with a copy of the Main Stand...

Next they start doing stupid stuff like putting a vortex either side for cars to pass through, or helta skelta slides in the corners for quicker exits.
