Had at least 6 Kopites send me footage of this including our kid, they are soooo wound up by the new stadium. Honestly believe they are boiling their pizzzz over it.

To be fair they are good at locating structural weaknesses, and then pushing it over on top of opposition fans.

Shouldn’t this be resolved by now ?

The people doing the water retention system might be in for a bit of a kicking here

My guess is no better than anyone else's, but I would guess it will not be an issue, never mind when we move in, but by the time we get the keys in a few weeks time.

It's the siphonic drainage. It's designed to carry huge volumes of water and is used on pretty much all large commercial roof areas to limit the number of downpipes.

Problem being that if there is ever a failure of the system, like this for whatever reason, those huge volumes of water can cause quite severe flooding.

Should have a mechanism to open up a gap in the cladding of the South stand roof to let the excess water run out that way, instead of overflowing the gully and spilling inside.

Half expected to see water gushing through it before I pressed play.

Cost a fortune to maintain, we've seen the seven wonders of scouseland with the rotary restaurant ( the ashtray ) in St. John's beacon,
only for the bearings to seize up over time.

only for the bearings to seize up over time.

It looked like that to me too: too many moving parts.

The pitch being dropped in pieces below the surface to about 6 chambers - one on top of the other - and a special grass grown for it to be maintained is unreal. All to use the Bernabeu as an entertainment complex.

1.1 billion euro and 5 years of work.

They even had a game against Liverpool months before the official opening...presumably to make it Kopite-proof - the ultimate stress test.

Are you actually taking thee piss out of our state of the art stadium when your 'big hoose' is falling apart?

Nah, loads of sandbags and guys with buckets protecting it!

The brave volunteers have dug huge trenches clean through the premium hospitality lounges, god bless them.
