I might be wrong but I always believed the highways agency was just responsible for motorways and trunk roads and the counties look after all other roads and streets

Won’t the rain pour down Edersons back if the roof points down?
That is national highways not the highways authority which for Manchester is the City Council.

Have you not noticed that roofs point down in other stadiums? Emirates? The swamp? Just to name a couple. It helps with acoustics. There are drains to collect the water so that doesn’t happen

How do they get the big support out from within the new steels that have already been installed? Do they cut it into sections and get rid of it bit by bit? Always amazes me the amount of detail in the planning of new builds.
That is the question isn't it.
Can't see how they can get it out in one piece. The cables are staying, so not much room to move upwards. Side to side is so so tight. Back and forth has a bit more give, but about one third up, it is enclosed to the front and top third closed to the back.
So I would imagine they'll need to get it into a few segments. How they grub up the foundations too, amongst all that steel will be interesting to watch too.

It’s not so easy just cutting it up either. Seems very little room for lifting equipment. Fuck knows how they’d get access to it too. Glad I’m not the one planning it!
Yeah and it doesnt look like it was built in sections either, other than top and bottom connections. Proper mega-kerplunk mate.
Forward, side, forward, diagonally outwards and then up seems to be the only possible route out for it, IF most of it was to be kept in one piece. Still have to disconnect top and bottom either way. And it will still be tight, and chances of scraping against something. Tough gig whoever has to operate that crane.

So AudioBrand is reaching new heights - literally! In the photo below I’m recording an interview with Fergus Beirne MCIOB on the top of a new apartment block being built on Dublin’s iconic Glass Bottle site, a Sisk project on which Fergus is Contracts Manager.
This is series 3 of Inside Sisk - other projects that we’ve featured so far include Sisk’s Malmo Data Centre and the Isle of Man Ferry Terminal in Liverpool. And there are plenty more to come, including the north stand expansion that Sisk is currently building at Man City’s Etihad stadium.

@tailspin747 can't believe I never noticed this!
Confirmation if ever there was one that what we were saying about that anchor point is right, when you spotted it in the visual.
As mentioned before that is a service riser that goes all the way to ground, but doesnt pop through the roof. Clever way to combine it as a permanent opening And anchor point too.

Fair enough mate. :-)
Just to clarify, I wasn’t having a go at you or at any of the other fan reps.
You can only tell us what you can if and when the club tell you and the other fan reps anything the club deem not to be commercially sensitive.
The waiting game goes on.

I find that highly believable, for what it is worth. More, than that they are holding back due to commercial sensitivities, which may also be true in the future.

A more straightforward one but please could you ask about having screens in the south stand corners? Some locations don’t have good views of the ones in the North Stand.
