North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

Non technical question incoming...

Will there be 8000 new seats, taking us to roughly 61500 on a typical matchday?

Yeah just under 8000 additional seats.

When is your next update planned [mention]cpoverview [/mention] ?

All those wee numbered holes, are micro sensors. They feed into a computer model then for the analysis. At a bigger scale they can measure sound generated by wind as well. It is intriguing stuff, and there is a lot of trial and error to it, sometimes taking multiple models to get a full analysis. The guys there can be really dedicated tonthe science of it too.

Can we have a cheese thread instead of having to wade through pages about it just get an update on the stadium expansion?

People have said whoever started this cheese nonsense should apologise & I would agree Edam well should say sorry!

 

[jimharri]

Please stick to the subject of the thread.

Sorry Jim, couldn't resist :)

Ricotta Holden would agree with that as would Tomme Booth.

Probably nothing.

Just noticed on the model, the skywalk platform doesn't overhang the pitch like it does on the CGI. Maybe the overhanging platform hasn't been added to the model?

The model doesn't have any roof supports on the south stand!

Well blow me down!

It doesn't 'overhang' it in reality. It is in line with the edge of the roof, that's just an odd it of perspective. The roof plan shows it is within the roof edge.

I suppose it would be too corny and plagiaristic to have the City Badge over the sky walk, too much like Spud’s turkey

That’s disappointing. I was looking forward to going on the overhang platform. Taking a second look at the cgi, the platform does indeed look set back in line with the edge of the roof.

It will probably feel like you are over it, given it is that bit higher above it and almost in line.

Looks like Alcatraz.

Posted by @mcfc_lads. It looks as though the back stays have been removed from the right tower. It may also just be the angle.

i would love to see a copy of the flag that use to fly above the kippax back in the day

The bird that hung from the Kippax roof would be good
