I'd rather they fill in all the gaps round the outside so the wind and rain doesn't get in.

We walked out onto seating area, about half way up, from one of the lounges, when you look down from the front you can see the gap.
Not as big as behind the goals though.

"You're just a s*** David Beckham"
