Should we take the Castle?

Post by TW2 Hammer »

Everyone was a bit gutted when the towers at Wembley weren't kept.
With that in mind Should we take the Turretts to Stratford?

I wouldn't as I personally think they look a bit tacky and cheap. I think they should re-make them but make them look better and more classy. Perhaps the designer could incorporate more curves to match the curvature of the new stadium. I am no designer but I am sure some talented people out there could make this happen.

A little thought about why the castle is where it is now should tell you why there's no point in moving it to Stratford.

Yes this was posted in jest!
I said to my wife said to me do remember when we went to Eurodisney (2006) to which she replied "shouldn't be too hard for you to remember. You go there every other week"
It's been the butt of opposition fans ever since it went up.
But I am sure there is someone who wants to keep the turretts.
I just haven't met them :thup:

I don't think there as bad as many of you like to point out.
I don't see anything wrong with them

TBH I have no problem with the current towers but if there was to be anything similar at the OS it should be designed to fit the surroundings, maybe turreted arches over the paths to/from the stadium? The current towers would look out of place if moved to the new site.
