Concourse artwork....

[Sgt Pepper]

Does anyone know the story behind the 'art' on the walls of the stairs leading up to the Premier Concourse? There's a painting of Niall Quinn and then some really weird random images that have no relation to anything like a computer, a girl receiving treatment to her injured ankle and a baby smashing up a double helix. In fact, it's so bizarre, that writing this out now I'm starting to question where it really exists or if I'm just remembering a fever dream...

Do you mean the red carpet area from the main entrance, where the likes of the Wearmouth Colliery flag thing hangs, or the stairs up from those turnstiles between the NWC and old club shop location? I’ve been up and down both many a time and honestly not sure what you mean, unless they’re new ish.

 

[Reptilia]

Honestly not a fan, looks tacky and pretty amateur.

Go outside and get some fresh air man you absolute dullard.

This was in another thread of the steps & tunnel, not too sure about it. might look better when finished and see the actual tunnel finished

It's all a bit 'Knight Rider' for my tastes.

On the topic of stadium renovation What are people's thoughts on repainting the outside of the stadium? Paint the roof metalwork from white to red, and the brickwork to black. Would look striking, also paint the wearmouth bridge back to red too.

Like that but SAFC red.

Black and White, no thanks

Stadium is unique how it is, just needs painting same colour

Great. The Gary Rowell bogs

We all pee in the Gary Rowell bogs, the Gary Rowell bogs………

 

[me is back]

Not sure about the black brick work but the red metal work looks class

Then everyone would complain when it goes pink like the seats as pretty much anything red exposed to the elements will do…

I truly hope I'm the only one who at first glance read that as "Rodwell". Shudder...

 

[Angelos]

Looks good. Not sure on the tunnel but something probably needed doing I doubt it’s been altered much at all since the SoL was built

 

[Redandwhitedust]

Those eyes in the tunnel, look like theyre on a screen. That would be awesome

 

[errant]

Not sure about the black brick work but the red metal work looks class

will bleach quicker than a pink seat.

I truly hope I'm the only one who at first glance read that as "Rodwell". Shudder...

no... my brain didnt quite engage but i got to rodwell before rowell too...

 

[andysafc85]

Are the pink seats going to be sorted?

The ones Short put in in the east stand are still fine.

It’s only the Donald ones that need replacing. I would like to see us put red ones back in the corners though

 

[durham.mackem]

Pitch side needs a good clean up and paint. Would be class to have it painted black like it was originally.

 

[chriswallace85]

Looks good. Great stuff from the club.

Thought that bottom one said Jack Rodwell at first glance.

I hope they employ someone to pick up the litter from the pitch on windy days. Please.

Nah doesn’t look right, look how much it’s costing to blast and repaint it this colour. You’d need to keep on top of red way too much would cost a little fortune.

People could just stop being scruffy bastards mind.
