Be a bit of a waste of money during day light, the opening game will be in August so unless it's a 10 pm kick off there won't be much point in fireworks. But we do need to do something big and special for the occasion.

A win would do me.

was there a reason the facilities in east and west stands weren’t reversed?
Seems a counter intuitive that the teams have to drive across the plaza and under a relatively tight north stand to drop the players off for example.
That’s a fair bit of crowd control for coach movement when they could have been dropped off on the east side.

Also the west plaza is going to make any local skateboard enthusiasts quite happy I expect.

Team coach will arrive much earlier than the masses. Also, the north stand turnstiles are at the eastern end & only service the away fans. Most fans will utilise the east & south side to get to where they need to be.

The PL will give us City first and we'll get thumped.

I used to live in the street next to this and remember when it exploded and water was shooting out the top of it

The western terrace will make for a great amphitheatre, just imagine a big game with 5 thousand supporters welcoming the coach.

I wondered about this, too. There's often a bit of a change once the seats go in, up or down, from the original plans, I assume due to value engineering or changing priorities in terms of premium seating, at the final stages of a build. It happened at Spurs, I seem to recall, but I haven't heard anything about that at BMD and it seems like almost all of the seating is installed now.

I thought that a late re-design in the plans, involving more accommodation for disabled supporters in both the north and south stands, was to mean a reduction in overall capacity.

On the subject of capacity, has BMD been reduced at all?

@muckers who had worked on site at BMD posted around a month ago that a few lads from LOR still on site had confirmed to him the capacity would actually be 53k as they'd found a way to squeeze a few more seats in.

Then 5,000 of them streaming back out after 5 minutes as we're getting tonked by Fulham 3-0

We built it on the seafront as it’s warmer to stay in the ground in the winter.

the blue smoke bombs will permanently colour the concrete steps, and instead of being a vibrant blue colour, it'll be a colour reminiscent of 'pants left in a white wash'

Bit like squeezyjet?
