The polling of members and saying so on twitter, I can see why that would have made sense and was ultimately the fair thing to do amongst the group.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think it is worth pointing out. I did find the way the rest of the tweet was worded quite jarring, and I didn't really like it. It reads like it starts from a position of distrust, and like you are almost in conflict with the club rather than working with them on this. Particularly labouring the part about not having been listened to and not being on board like the consultation stated. And if it IS the report as part of the planning app, then the two are not really the same thing. I held off making that point on here because I didn't want to look like I am moaning about the work 1894 do which I would say I generally admire. But while you are engaging on it, it is my own view and possibly worth pointing out a take you may not have considered, in case it may read the same to others. Or the club itself.

I suspect this 1894 behaviour stems from the ST price increases
 
Nobody knows what discussions have taken place between the club and 1894.

Unfortunately there is a lot of mistrust between sections of our support and the club ATM.

Hopefully City Matters and 1894 will release some positive info and news regarding the North stand, and in particular North stand level 2, in the near future?

I think it will be called the Pep Guardiola stand - be surprised if it is not.

I hope it isn't.

You'd have the situation that the Rags have whereby every manager is staring out at a stand named after a manager they could never hope to equal. Pep can have a statue twice the size of all the others outside.

Just picked up on this having a look through the PA.

The view of the North stand expansion from the canal side of the Coop Live Arena.

There’s also a hotel balcony above the big LED screen. From the image it looks like it will be open to hotel residents.

2 people are on the walkway viewing platform. :-)

Just a quick one, those 2 big screens, did I read they can’t show video and it’s just pictures or is that just nonsense?

I'm ok with 401 rooms.

Besides, they are building another one, right where the current site compound is for the co-op live. The scouse guy in the drone video said so, twice!

Yea I was obviously joking as that particular guy in the drone video had zero sense of placement. Or scale.

But there has indeed been mention of another hotel in broadly that area as part of the longer term site development. Down the line though.
