    I agree with an earlier comment - there is no solution which is going to be 100%. Some people will love the design, other’s will hate it. The disruption of the construction phase will get under people’s skin quickly - there is no avoiding this. Personally, I think the embossed dragons are cool.

      For people in the close vicinity it will be problematic but there is nothing you can do.

      Yes and its really heavy!!! They will need one massive lorry and winch or whatever to get from where it is. Plus its heavily embedded into the ground and covered in weeds.

    I think I would like it better if it was symmetrical. If the building will create nesting habitat for birds, that aspect of the design should be removed/modified to avoid real problems down the road. Thanks for the update!

    • @WrexhamAFCfanzone
      @WrexhamAFCfanzone  5 дней назад +1

      I don’t think it intends to create habitat per se . I think it might happen with the perforated brick cladding.

      @@WrexhamAFCfanzone Sorry, I wasn't clear; I don't mean intentional habitat. I was referring to creating unintentional habitat (birds don't care if you meant to create a nesting platform or not; they just care that it suits their needs). I'm saying that the design should be assessed for any unintentional habitat created and those design elements should be modified.

    Hiya. I know I'm in my 70s, but I can't see ANY flag, just a weird red wall. Is there a way to see it, like we stared at those posters of some years back in order to see a yacht or something? Stay safe. All the best to you.

    There is always going to be push back on a project like this, anywhere in the world! Change, and the building phase of that change is a major source of annoyance to many. Have to say, the red brick issue is valid one. Both the legacy and the design allowing potential nesting. Guess it would be a stretch to suggest the red brick could serve as a further memorial to the miners who were killed? As for the birds, netting is one option, but there is also the spiking process. Effective and less visible in my opinion. Birds in my area are not real fans of the spikes, where as they find ways to get behind the netting.

    • @WrexhamAFCfanzone
      @WrexhamAFCfanzone  5 дней назад +1

      Yes, the red brick and how they spoke specifically about Ruabon is more of a concern but can be sorted out. Lots of birds in the ground and around it, I suppose it depends if nesting birds cause a problem. I am all for giving them somewhere to nest. I know you can put special nesting bricks in properties now.

      Yeah I know. I am assuming this is something Populous have looked at and are aware the birds around there could nest in the holes.

  • @mindo6875
    @mindo6875 5 дней назад +2

    Regarding design, I don't think it looks absolutely amazing from the side of those renders but 1) Materials look good and are unique to most football grounds 2) Renders are not actual buildings and most importantly 3) Buildings are viewed from the ground and not from above like in renders. This design looks pretty great from the ground level which is what explains the uneven shapes. And I believe that Populous was brought in do create a design that can be expanded to other stands with time. The overall stadium once finished might look great as opposed to one singular stand.

    I am one of those that does not like the new look. Now, I don't hate it. But it looks more like your going to a museum then a football stadium. But I may be in the minorioty when it comes to not liking the new design. But at the end of the day all that matters is if the people of Wrexham love it. Also they needed to move the players into a new room. I mean, have you not seen how small the one they are using now is? It's shoulder-to-shoulder in there.

    • @WrexhamAFCfanzone
      @WrexhamAFCfanzone  4 дня назад

      I'm sure everything , from the fans experience to the player's experience will be greatly improved. I am putting up a massive look at the plans later that might change your mind on the design perhaps.

    Talk about nit picking and looking a gift horse in the mouth. Populous is a world leader and world class designer of sports stadiums. They spent a huge amount of time in Wrexham consulting with the team and the fans and the town. But clearly there is always an element in every community determined to whine and find fault. You can never please everyone. It’s the same people calling for Parky to be replaced after two straight promotions and sitting at the top of the table. Way too much time on their hands. Might be time to get a life. 😂
