Luscious Cantilevers, how many championship sides have stadiums with Cantilevers? Everton that.

While we are asking the engineers questions, does anyone know why this support is doubled up? Is it just a temporary measure to hold weight that will be removed once the roof is in?

no mate if you look at the finished stadium pictured from the front on the next page of this thread, ( page 5740) there seems to be two of those doubled beams each inner side of the front of the stadium.

Somebody asked Dan Meis that very question about the sloping ceiling level half way up the stand & why it was. Here was his response.

That gap between the south-east corner steel and the south stand is kicking off my OCD. Please can we focus on that bit this week.

I noticed this last week an it was really annoying me. But it seems to be where the corners meet the straight there is an extra support. The North stand is the same but not as noticeable as beams are black.

Suspect it will be the position of movement/expansion joints in the structure, hence the double columns, one either side of the joint.

That’s good. Maybe I missed the original explanation when I took a hiatus from this thread during fishjokegate.

It's annoying me too, that and the stuff growing out of the Hydraulic Tower. The thing has had scaffold up for a year and they still haven't cleared the weeds growing out the top!

They've been there that long the roots are probably holding it together
