It announced on Friday that airline Emirates would sponsor the Spinnaker Tower in a £3.5m deal. Over the weekend, nearly 10,000 people signed an online petition against plans to repaint the tower, which is currently white. Red and white are the colours of nearby Southampton's football club, Portsmouth's major rivals. Council leader Donna Jones said she had been "extremely worried and concerned" about the strong public response against the plans.[/quote]
Coming from someone that is going out with someone from Southampton. I find this fucking hilarious. :v:
So people are upset because of football team colors I've studied in Southampton for 4 years and I didn't even know the team wore that color. Everyone here who isn't a student is bloody obsessed with football.
If it is painted red it kinds of...resembles a vagina.
Looks kinda nice, actually.
hopefully if they do it it wont go over time by 5 years and cost nearly twice as much as predicted

[QUOTE=Kljunas;47907348]lmao It can't be healthy to take a football rivalry that seriously.[/QUOTE] There's not really much else to do in Portsmouth, and that's speaking as a local :v:
I forget it's even there
Also worth noting I saw someone get escorted out of Gunwharf because they were trying to get upskirts though the glass panel using a pair of binoculars from the ground.

the painted tower is giving me some major mirror's edge vibes looks pretty good
it sees like it would look nice but [QUOTE]Red and white are the colours of nearby Southampton's football club, Portsmouth's major rivals.[/QUOTE] yeah, this is a very bad idea in a very sports focused place

They should give a mirror finish so it'll blend in with the sky and then we can all forget about how shit it is.
