I wouldn't be surprised if the cladding is a result of those on the 'advisory group' who wanted as much of the "Leitch style" kept as possible for the new grandstand.  

It is also probably the cheapest option, which would suit Brent down to the ground when he had it designed.

Those people have a lot to answer for! Troglodytes!

Brent may have designed it Hallett is having it fitted.

excatly hallett knew And being on brents board and backed him for last 2yrs is still happy to run with it though hey!

I'd be amazed if it isn't painted, kudos for re using good materials, better than recycling but a lick of paint would be in my budget range, Simon Musk shouldn't have any problems.

Gotta laugh as its been described elsewhere as looking like an Abattoir

A few pictures of the drainage going into Zoo field

Fascinating...

Workers were in the Mayflower stand and the Fans Bar when I went past tonight and the cladding is going up on the Barn Park side of the Mayflower Stand.

My doggy had a drink in there this morning. Small world, eh!

There was a doggy having a drink there tonight, watch out Argyle will be charging dog owner for drinking their water.

TGWU I think the idea in theory is that the Attenuation Tanks that they had to install will release the rainwater at a lower rate avoiding the pooling at Barn Park bottom.....
Will it work in practice and judging by your photo than probably not. Only time will tell next winter

The water do no soak in to the ground as you can see, with the amount of water coming from HP and the Fan bar it will run over the top of the ground down to Barn Park

This is jizzcamtastic.

Looking at Cam 1 once those seats are in the Mayflower terrace its going to give a very different appearance to what we see now....I quite like the roofline of the Grandstand now front elevation
Starting next Tuesday I understand or before lets hope they got right colours this time

Looking at Cam 2 now in the rain just shows how soaked people will be on the Mayflower terrace when completed.

Yep, the whole lower terrace is wet.  Why have a fit for purpose normal size cantilever roof when you can have a mini "Leitch style" roof that only keeps a fraction of the stand dry?  Who is the idiot responsible for this?

A lot depends on the price of the seats, Mayflower corner was the last of the cheap seats (or cheap standing as it was) if they are priced competively many people will take a chance on the weather however if it's priced the same as the Lyndy or Demport they might struggle to sell them, to be fair the horseshoe roof doesn't cover the first five to ten rows depending on the wind.
