drakos13 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 i dont understand what are they working on? are they adding seats? is this why OSFP and PAO stopped using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 They are adding a roof that will cover all the fans. If anyone has ever sat on the 2nd peer when it's pissing down and windy will really appreciate it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNNY Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Anyone heard any recent reports from the Greek press on the construction of the roof. I have a friend in Athens who was involved with the design who says there are still real problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend in Athens who was involved with the design who says there are still real problems. "Greece" and "problems" ??? I never thought they were synonymous :lol: It wouldnt suprise me if they workman were still hammering away and then taking a break to watch the mens 100m final from a birds eye view!!!

JOHNNY Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 He reckons there could be major structural problems with the foundations etc. This is something a thousand hammering Albanians may even struggle to overcome. I really hope they can overcome the difficulties, and end up with a stadium worthy of the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Well, if things are as you say instead of a roof they could go to "plan B" and throw a massive piece of Nylon over the stadium so no one gets wet. It may cuase a Greenhouse effect but at least no one will get rained upon. They'll still end up drenched though...lol..can you imagime 35 degree heat and covered by nylon? :lol: What bloody idiots the lot of them. You can say this isn't an Olympics worthy of the Greeks organisation, can you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaD_YiaNs Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 OH MY GOD WHERE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!!!! :o I really hope they do make it in time. But just imagine champions league games in there (even though Olympiakos has a ground). The atmosphere is hairaising just without a roof there, so imagine with a roof cause the sound would echo and be like 5 times louder!!! Would Champions league games be played there?

JOHNNY Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I must agree with you about the atmosphere at OAKA. The Greece-Denmark world cup qualifier was amazing, but the noise created at the Olympiakos-Ajax champions league match was probably the loudest I've ever experienced. Earplugs may be required if the roof gets finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I must agree with you about the atmosphere at OAKA. The Greece-Denmark world cup qualifier was amazing. Damn bro, what a game from Greece, hammering the Danes especially in the 2nd half and the bloody ball doing everything but going in!I think that was the most talented Greek team in the last 10 years. Too bad it had Kir Kostas "Greek coaches complex" Polichroniou on the bench. I'll never forget Alexandris for missing the tet-a-tet with Scmeichel in the last minute :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNNY Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 The most incredible moment came with about 10 minutes to go when everyone in the stadium realised it was not going to be their night and released every firework and flare in the stadium. I was at the back of the top tier, and could see virtually nothing. Did the players leave the field, or only stop playing for a few minutes?

Ziaka Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 I am still looking for a video tape of the Greece - Denmark game. I remember being glued to the radio listening to the game, but never had a chance to see it. Anybody has it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOHNNY Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Couple of quotes from the following article which make me think this roof will be something really special - and well worth the wait: "I am very optimistic. It will be ready for the Olympics. Everything is going very well. We are all working round the clock to bring things to an end. It will be magnificent." (Architect, Calatrava) Britain's Observer newspaper said in a profile of Calatrava last month that the roof, whether built or not, would make the 53-year-old Spaniard the most famous architect in the world. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;j...storyID=4558016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 It will be interesting to see iof the calatrava roof willbe ready for the games. In the meantime here is recent aerial picture, which was supposedly taken march 5th: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
