North Stand Construction Discussion

Is that better than having the tallest floodlights in the country?

In the history of our great City even in the heyday of Phillips Park would you ever think the biggest hotel in Manchester would be in Bradford. The best thing was Grey Mare Lane Market. If they can fill that most nights with all the events going on and with City tourism then just the hotel will employ 100s of people. Hopefully local people will get many of the jobs.

There’s no way on Gods green earth you’re getting me up on that skywalk thing.

I was 77 on Monday and am looking forward to getting up there.

You wouldn’t be on God’s green earth, you’d be in the sky!

Terrible design, looks like Chelsea's mismatch stadium.

Varied-stand stadiums are the best. Each stand has individuality about it and has its own identity.

Dortmund, Rangers, Chelsea, Villa, Spurs, Liverpool’s stadiums are better than Wembley, Southampton, Leicester, Arsenal and City’s (when we first moved into the CoMS and it was the same at one end as the other) stadiums.

I find bowl stadiums a bit dull. There’s no individuality about any stand. They’re alright for national/final stadiums as each set of fans get the same thing but for a club ground I think it’s better to have variety.

It looks brilliant but I hope the fact that the flags are all in the bottom tier doesn't mean they are planning on making that bit the new atmosphere section.

I emphasised it as much as I could that the big Level 2 should be a big iconic atmosphere stand, in that surgery the club put out.

Hopefully everyone else did too!

Any chance we could incorporate a waterfall to make it more touristy…View attachment 75514

Arsenal have got one of those n’all.



Have Liverpool to make it a dirty redshirt treble?

The creation of the Sky Bar and subsequent design of the roof now absolutely requires the back rows of the 3 central blocks to all be occupied by the most vociferous singers.

The higher roof needs the sound to travel down and out not up and back. If it does that, the lower and side blocks will join in sooner.

Practice nights will be Tuesdays and Thursdays.

PM JRB asap to reserve your spot....loyalty points will apply.

Ps.Capo’s,Drummers & Saxophonist’s will have separate auditions !!!

Round my flat. I’ve got a nice new pit I’ve dug to throw them all in.

What perfect owners we have.

 

[SambaStyle]

Roof looks way better, Hope they will eventually replicate it on the other side.

Some more good news.

After years of taking pictures with my much loved and trusted Sony RX100III, which l will still use when I need to, I've decided to move over to DSLR.

All set and ready to go. :-)

One more thing. The expanded North stand proposal looks superb! Hopefully I can do it justice over the next 3 years with my pictures?

That was my issue with the original COMS. Nice new stadium for us, but no matter how many B of the Bangs you put outside it was just a bowl on wasteland.

What’s about to happen to it now is going to make it absolutely unique. A proper stadium without a total rebuild.

Is that a huge camera or a small table?

I’ll pay for you to go on the Stadium tour once a month so you can post picture updates of the stand!

Thats if you get the gig, forward your cv to the committee and we will get back to you, once all applications have been screened.

Probably already been mentioned or highlighted? Not read back on all the posts since the news broke this morning.

Enlarged the cgi’s. Quality suffers.

Even though the hotel is a box, the exterior and the cladding of the hotel looks very interesting and promising. Looks like a silver wave effect. Glad to see large screens on the end of both buildings. Landscaping, planting, and trees inside the plaza entrance, outside the hotel.

From the North stand cgi I counted 7 blocks before the blocks ended without showing the full length of level 2. Interesting layout in the corner blocks. A proper sized block in the very corner, and a block tucked right into the corner of level 2 with an entrance/exit directly below it.

Corporate level - 3 at the back of the stand, with direct access to and from the bars and restaurants over looking the stand and the pitch, with 3 large screens directly above it.

The ‘City Walk of Fame’ ;-).

I like the concept and I get what the club want to achieve, however the plans from a design point of view could be a lot better imo.

I did too.

Agree.

Especially this. It looks really awkward and completely out of place. I really don’t like it. I hope it’s just the way it’s been done on the cgi?

It reminds me of the back of Factory International.



From November last year. It should be completed by now?

Are they finally going to change the bulbs at the top of the masts?

A few questions for any current NSL2 fans:

1. Do you get wet in your seats when it rains?

2. Does the front row floor collect a puddle when it rains?

3. Is the Sun in your eyes where you sit for a 12.30/14.00/15.00/16.30/17.30 game?

The sun, in Manchester? What's that all about !

Looks a great bit of kit, how many lenses do you have?
