Saw this angle of the south stand which shows why it might be difficult to have screens at that end. Those supports coming out at an angle would probably make it a difficult job.

I see the first columns in the hotel wing have started popping up. The right hand steel tower looks pretty much complete, the left not far off. The guy in the cherry picker working on the left one at 25-30m, nerves of steel, pardon the pun. Those things sway a fair bit, particularly at that height, with the tiniest bit of wind. Shouldn't be long till the first floor plate of the right hand half of the hotel starts. Still no sign of the facade mock-up, but I guess seeing how they technically breached that condition a couple of months ago, it now makes little difference when it goes up.

Hopefully not, when looking at screens and eating hot dogs become more important than what's going on the pitch, football will be done and dusted.
Stick American culture where the sun doesn't shine.
Let's hope the North stand expansion doesn't go a similar way.
The original cost/budget was £365mill
Those issues have also led to the rising price tag for the arena, which initially was set to cost £365m. Now, Oak View Group chief executive Tim Leiweke has told the Manchester Evening News that the figure is £400m and likely to grow to £450m before all is said and done

Some scruffy twat from Trafford, just outside Manchester, wants to know what we’re going to do with the old roof?
It is a lot of kalzip to recycle, but I would imagine Sisk have called dibs on it all.
For those of you that know more and care for the transport/queuing arrangements for the metrolink, there is an NMA in just now (139992/NMC/2024), that shows proposed temporary and permanent arrangements for corralling and queuing barriers etc.
Not putting any images on here as there is nothing of particular interest to me, but for those that that experience this or might be affected by it, thought I'd highlight it is there.

I'm afraid we will be playing league games over there soon. It's just a matter of time.

Tell the gypo **** to fuck off.
Sadly I agree, a disaster for the game but the Yanks coming into our game this was always going to happen.

jrb has certainly added plenty of interesting content to the thread. Hopefully someone at the club reads it and takes some of the points onboard. Can't wait until it's completed. I'm sure it will be amazing.

I walked past the building work on Friday for the youth cup final, the sheer scale of the works is amazing.
