Hello Clarence Arena [no. 1]

[GHA EFM]

 

Obviously it's still at a developmental stage...

[Electric ~soul~]

Would kinda put that awful metallic blue building by the station to shame really, wouldn't it!?

[AFF]

You would hardly notice that in the Green Belt.

 

Is that Park Street in the foreground?

[Laz]

No floodlights?

[GHA EFM]

Hatfield Road. They're gonna build the thing over the whole of Clarence Park, and the cricket team are moving to Sandridge.

 

Awful blue building? It's not that bad, is it AFF? Perhaps you could give us a little word or two on it?

When complete, the stadium will consist of a continuous curvilinear shaped stand enclosing all four sides of the ground. The South, East and West stands will have four tiers of seating for spectators. The bottom and top tiers will provide the main volume of spectating facilities.

The second tier will provide facilities for premium ticket holders and the third tier will provide facilities for corporate boxes. There will be 10,000 seats at premium level and a further 1,300 at box level. Many of these will be sold in advance to help finance the overall project.

The North stand will comprise of one low level seating tier, to reflect its proximity to the residential properties at that end of the ground.

- Provision of a large number of high quality toilets adequate both for match days and for events such as concerts where there may be a different mix of spectators.
- Quality medical support facilities for both players and spectators.
- Better facilities for disabled fans.
- Wide concourses and comfortable spatial allowances to ensure easy circulation for spectators.
- An architectural theme that is exciting and innovative in harmony with the surrounding cityscape.
- Clear delineation between spectator and service areas ensuring that service and / or emergency vehicles need never compete with spectators for the same space.
- A hi-tech communications nerve centre to allow for continuous monitoring of all aspects of the stadium, both inside and outside the ground.
- Pitch floodlighting incorporated in the new stands.
- Roof design that makes best use of available sunlight which is as low as physically possible while being compatible with cross-stadium viewing.

'chuffin eck wheres me house gone...

[Laz]

It's between rows K and Z on the east side!

[GHA EFM]

No time for compassion, JKiF. Serious times ahead.

[JKiF]

K and Z eh, do i get life membership?

You're clearly not cognisant of the latest Building Regulations, Laz.

 

Today in Blair's Britain, any new development must be 'energy efficient'. In the case of lighting, that means that light switches are surplus to requirements, as the lamps must come on automatically when a pre-set sensor registers that the level of 'natural' illumination falls below a level. We'll save money as we wont have to have a chap to turn them on.

 

[i blame the Concervative government of Margaret Thatcher, but let's not go there.]

 

Anyway. The floodlighting is probably pitchside, thrown up against the roof and reflected downwards.

 

Clarence Park, eh? the residents of York Road will be pleased to have a landmark on the other side of the road. It will be easier to get planning permission there than inthe Green Belt, anyway.

[Laz]

What about floodlights powered by solar power?

[JKiF]

wind turbines?

It's the new stadium at Lansdowne Road, Dublin, Phil. Really.

 

Some 13 year old can come on here and tell you about the the photo avatar stuff. I'm far too old.

 

Safe journeys.
