Based on looks that building is one of those instances where the 'midwife' gives the father a slap rather than the baby's bottom. Pretty ugly.

It seems to be the same design as the hotels at the SoL and the 2 at Old Trafford. Not quite East German brutalist, but functional

Judging by its position at the ground I hope the hotel has anti- glare windows.

at least the old trafford have framed them in red and look a little different. that looks almost like a homage to County Hall

Looks like G Block at Roseberry @The Red Telephone

Let's hope it doesn't go the same way as a lot of the Roseberry Blocks in the 70s.

Went to the talk about it in the summer and they said it did

I’m all for the hotel but were are all the cars going to park for the gym ?
The gym is the busiest part of that complex and the hotel wipes out the entire car park ?!?!?

And how will Marty be able to commentate on vans trying to park at the Lumley End... One off the bingo card

And he won't be able to spot the 78 Consett to Sunderland bus.

When the hotel was discussed a couple of years ago, they were talking about a blue frame on it then.

For international games it could be cheaper to book an overnight in a family room facing the pitch than paying at the gate.

Likely to all be converted into hospitality boxes for England matches

 

[Lumley End]

And if they aren’t, the prices will be obscene.

Yeah the pitch facing rooms will be top dollar for when games are on and will no doubt have the hospitality thrown in with it.

I appreciate there are limitations with respect to design and that it needs to fit a certain space.....but that is lazy.

Agree. I think it will also obscure the view of the castle from one end of the members balcony and the seats below it.

The trees do that already pretty much.
