KC?

Shome mishtake shurely?

No.
He got it correct.

Stand sponsored by KC?

I withdraw my earlier remark if so....

Looks very nice and once the south stand gets done it will a tidy ground

Yes it is

Do you live underground?

No, just try to ignore as much of what's going on your way as I can

You've not go the grip of this ignoring lark really, this being Hull KR forum n all.

I couldn't ignore the thread title

If you'd ignored the Rovers board, you wouldn't have seen the thread title.

You have to ask how this happens in a new £8M building.

And some can't see why NH wants the club to distance itself from it?

Christ and that is before it is in use what do they call it teething problems they should be

What on Earth is that?!

That can't be it finished - it's just been left there, until whatever it is installed in the correct place, surely to goodness?

Looks like permanent bracing to me unfortunately.


Add that to the toilet situation and and I'm starting to see NH's point.

What is NH's point?

Does he just have a issue with that building or the stand as well?

His point was that it is a mess in parts.
It is and therefore he wouldn't put HKR's name to it.

Oh BTW before certain posters start I'm not saying I'm ungrateful as I'm not and the council have been great but for an £8M build I would have thought that having a support beam going right across some windows would have been a no-no.

Broadly I think that it has been designed by a company with no prior experience of building a stand/stadium and that inexperince shows. Toilets sufficient for a normal building of its size, but not for the half-time rush of a sports venue for example (tbf, not something I'd ever thought about before). And then sub-optimal execution.

Always with the perfectionism! Picky, picky, picky!



Makes me feel much better about the floating shelfs that I put up, which were great for very light ornaments... that wouldn't roll.

Can you picture NH's face.
'That beam is temporary right?'.............'Er No'

I noticed that in the pictures and it really was a face palm moment.

I like how they've covered it up by installing an opaque panel where a window should have gone, kind of saying "you didn't really want to look out of that bit did you?"

The office in the picture looks like it is on the ground floor in the West section.
Not something Rovers will be using. I still think it is poor from a design point of view.
Passed the ground yesterday and they were starting on tarmacking the car park in front of the North stand. The lampposts were in and they didn't look far off finishing the granite paths

whatever they are, they are clearly visible from outside...

I cannot understand how a modular build of this sort would need diagonal support as its essentially bolt n build..and surely any diagonal bracing should have taken place in less visible places..

but when you see this sort of thing you can understand why Neil had misgivings...

Iron bars against the windows?

They're to stop you lot licking them come derby day.
