North Stand Construction Discussion

456 capacity at the sky bar.
10 suites just below that with their seating right at the top of the stand.
Then a 600 capacity "Joe's" style hospitality area that is at the bottom of the 2nd tier by the look of it.

If it was just at the back I think I’d be alright with that, but why on earth is there any coprate seating at the front of a home end. It may as well just be a second tier.

It’s kinda put me off the idea of trying to move there

Just to add to this. We (1894) have emailed our contacts at the club asking for an urgent meeting to discuss the plans.

The proposed hospitality sections would instantly end any plans of an atmospheric home end.

Think people should wait for those answers before reacting too much to what the drawings do or don't show.

I agree. It wouldn’t be a home end and I also think it would make your job of getting people (south standers in particular) to move 1000% more difficult

Come and stand in the home end and you will be stood behind a large corporate section right at the front. May as well just be level 2

We can only go off the planning application.

The club through their contacts with the fans groups need to confirm or deny there is going to hospitality/corporate seating across the front of NSL2.

That wasn’t what was mentioned in the feedback questionnaire. Nor was it what the fans asked for when they sent in the ideas and replies.

If the hospitality seating section is correct the club have withheld that information from the fans on purpose and sneaked it through until it’s shown up on the planning application.
 
Feel like it's going to look amazing from inside but just a bit of a cobbled together mess outside... i'm not arsed because I don't have to see it everyday and only really care about how it is where I'm watching the match from but it doesn't scream 'ultra high tec, modern stadium' to me personally.

Yes we can only go off those and as far as I can tell it isn't 100% clear, nor is it clear whether those seats are corporate, hospitality or 93: 20 / Joes type premium seats., thats why a question to the club for clarification is a good idea and best wait for an answer. What's the rush for an immediate reaction one way or the other.
Even the plans don't give the full make up of the stand / seating. It states it can be changed to safe standing etc later on.

As you say there’s no rush, but it would be better if the club confirmed or denied it as soon as possible. It wouldn’t take long for the club to do that and it’s no hardship.

Just a side observation. It is a colour, on a diagram, in a design document. Could be from an earlier process, could be current, could mean exactly what it is or not that much. The seats themselves and the area as a whole doesn't appear to be shown any any different so it comes down to an admission choice more than design as such. Which may not always be a set thing. It isn't distinguished on the formal drawings as far as I can see.

Not really making a specific point nor should it affect your discussion. Just pointing out it doesn't appear to be an obvious set designated hospitality area. Nothing stopping it being used as such, but nothing stopping any other area either.
 
This corporate bit makes no sense. I get the sky bar and the stuff at the back but why not take existing areas of the second tier in the rest of the ground - if the club wants even more hospitality offerings. Make the whole of the second tier of the South Stand Corporate - if they must. But shoehorning a load of hospitality into the front of this so called ‘home end’ makes no sense at all.

Only other thought I had was, I think it was @Gone for a Burton said something about gold seats related to the Centurions name… could this be related to that?

I'm going to refrain from posting any more on this subject until we've met with the club.

Our contacts at City are on-side.

We'll try and meet the decision-makers and go from there.

The render doesn’t suggest hospitality seating at the front of NSL2. Flags over the LED screens/advertising boards as well. But it’s only a render.

Perhaps, or could be a coincidence of colour choice, and the note pointing to it does say 'hospitality/GA'. Which again isn't really in any way really definitive.

If the seats were a different size or spacing, I'd think it was more set and planned. As it is, they could have highlighted half or twice that extent, or any other area of the stand, and it wouldn't have made any difference to the actual approval.
