    In 2002 I worked for a computer database company, Who were a business client of Robert McAlpine, My job was uploading the Emirates stadium build plans onto the database so the company could view the plans online when needed, So as an Arsenal supporter I got to see how the new ground looked way before anyone else knew apart from the club and the builders!

      I think that is a bit of a disservice to the engineering capability available pre financial crisis. The only thing a project of this caliber was lacking would be a will to get it done. In this respect the effectiveness of the whole performance of task was exceptional top to bottom. Clearly one or the best football engineering projects of any era. As a comparison the new Wembley was near contempory to this effort. I think Arsenal got more for their money in terms of quality and project management despite the smaller capacity everything Arsenal got was maximised for site.

      Dude technology and engineering capabilities were really good in the mid 2000’s lol. It’s not like it’s the 1970-80’s lol. Look at the stadiums Japan and Korea built during the 90’s to host the 2002 World Cup. Same for Germany 2006 and Wembley all built around the same time. Fundamentally stadiums haven’t changed much in over 20 years.

    Excellent documentary. I understand gooners heckling at Wenger and Gazidis to spend. In fact I'm one of them, but you've got to stop and admire the enormity of the project and the planning involved to build such a fantastic stadium. The part that blew me away was the repositioning and continual operation of the recycling plant while building the stadium. To add to the challenge, those two massive bridges had to be built on site which caused spacing problems for other construction. Amazing!

      83 Smith this is the thing that annoys me the most about the Emirates, all other top stadiums in the league have stands that are all close to the pitch and at the Emirates there’s such a big gap behind each goal. I was thinking that they could just make the pitch a bit longer in order to make the stands feel closer but maybe it’s not as simple as that.

    I agree, but I can't say the same thing about the atmosphere. I've been to the Emirates a few times and the only noise was coming from the away end, other than that, you can hear a pin drop.

    • @ToxicDarkLord

      Much of that is because the club has stagnated, fast forward today now that Arsene Wenger has announced he is leaving and the atmosphere have been brilliant.

    I am quite impressed with the project management and resolution of problems.
    1. Can't rebuild parts of current ground due to listed building status and high income housing.
    2. Fans attached to location.
    3. Finances prohibative due to required sustained success on the football pitch, manager personal guarentee to remain for multiple years before loans would be granted, replacement bank required, expensive London real estate to find.
    4. Moving existing industry to a new site.
    5. Small workspace. Had to build equipment on site to complete the roof.
    6. Infastructure commitment to build bridges.
    7. Build housing on the site ot the old stadium.
    8. Get the building complete earlier to to fixture fulfillment requirement.

  • @vinnyvasquez
    @vinnyvasquez 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    They should lower the pitch and fit 2 or 3 more rows at the front, the gaps are far too large for a modern stadium. Plus the 2 gaps at the corners on the upper tier that don't have scoreboards hanging should be filled in with seats. Both would get the capacity up by a few thousand, improve it, and crucially be bigger than Spurs' new ground.

      John Ewen nowadays clients squeeze contractors so yards that they rely on compensation events happening to make a profit. It’s not good for the majority of projects. Sometimes the relation ship is good and deals can be done via handshake - depends on the confidence of the PM and contractor and the number of people involved.

    I hope Liverpool don't ever get a new stadium i prefer the old stadiums! In my opinion all grounds should be built in between roads and streets instead of a modern park with massive cars parks etc. Made up Anfield still is, only a 15 min walk to the ground.

    • @wild4fp
      @wild4fp 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree. Anfield staying as it is and being extension built is a good way to go. newer stadium have failed to develop the atmosphere or for the team to gel together in a big arena. Emirates is very nice but never will be highbury. The Olympic stadia will never be upton park, Man city will never be main road etc...Spurs are developing though they are building like Dortmund and have a flat stand, this should be better for atmosphere, Arsenal did not built or factor that in, they never do.

    • @rybolfc
      @rybolfc 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like the main stand i had doubts about not filling, the only thing i hate aba it is the hospitality boxes and the tunnel, with the boxes they are not selling out as well as them yanks wanted, since they are not selling they are not willing to expand Annie road because of the boxes it's pathetic, the annie road will only be standard seats as well there is no possible way to put boxes in,i can't stand them FSG out for me. And for the tunnel it's not our traditional walk up stairs short corridor. The main thing is no matter what happens will always keep the Anfield and the kop old fashioned which is what i like.

    Like the 2nd curcular image but, prefer to be able to see the inside of the stadium than having stained glass. However, i do think there should be some sort of virtual goodison park emersive 4d experience, for when the old lady leaves us. So that future generations can stull experince Goodison and its atmosphere.
