I'm sure years ago Birmingham had a player by the name of Francis who once played against us at HR who was around 6 foot 10 inches.
I remember a night game at Leicester a good few years ago when Micky Adams was their manager. We had scored first (Richie Partridge?) and then they had come back to lead two-one. Just after their second goal the ball boys, who had been instrumental in getting the ball back to the Leicester players really quickly, were all withdrawn. A small advantage, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a multi ball system then and City players would have been scrambling to get the one ball back in play.
Kevin Francis, didn't he come on at HR and stand next to Micky Gynn?
This popped up on my Facebook. Looks like the ground is going to have a much needed refresh:

Lots going on at the Arena to repair and upgrade over the summer I expect, especially IF.....
I'm more impressed that the guy's who built it got it there in one piece talking about the pale triangular bits perpendicular,loads of protection on those, careful now,mind the ceiling!
Museum incoming next year, who's got anything of interest to loan?
The blokes about 15 he hasn't been wanting the cladding done since he was 5
Probably why he putting a laughing emoji after it, to show he wasn't serious.
“Hearing word”
The bloke that quoted for it literally posted it on Facebook a few days back. Making it sound like a transfer rumour ffs.
Assume it's structurally fine? If so I'd just put wraps over it. This kind of thing

Would imagine that would be cheaper and you could change it every season or two to keep it fresh

Leeds have something like this on at least part of Elland Road. I was surprised at just how crap it looked. But perhaps that was just the ground/surrounding area in general.Assume it's structurally fine? If so I'd just put wraps over it. This kind of thing

Maybe it would be better if it were more professionally executed.

It looks absolutely shite.
Like something Wrexham would have on their village temporary stand.
Looks pretty good at the Emirates imo
Suspect like many things it’s a case of get what you pay for

I think some of it is beyond repair, lots of panels seem to have water and heat damage, a few panels have already been replaced. Makes sense to replace it, a once in 20 year job rather than having to revisit it every couple of years. That said, this sort of wrap might work around sections that are not clad at all.
If it's brand new cladding, I reckon it'll be dark grey, with some sky blue touches as an accent colour. Just guessing though. Should be a planning app soon i'd guess.If there repainting the cladding it has to be Sky Blue surely.

What does it say about 21st Century construction and materials standards when stuff has to be completely replaced after 20 years?
It's more about 21st century value engineering than construction standards per se
