North Stand Construction Discussion

It’s actually mainly offices if we’re talking overall space with the shop and museum taking up the lower couple of floors or so.

Are you sure it’s mostly office ? They are only having small working space for business so who is taking the rest ? CFG / City ? What about City at home ? How big will the museum shop etc be then ?

Are any bands booked in for the Stadium next Summer?

Only asking because we make some of serious money by having the biggest bands play at the Etihad every summer. (Lets be honest Taylor Swift would have been at the Etihad not Anfield this summer if it wasn't for the building works)!

There is a rumor going round of an Oasis reunion next summer with 10 nights in Manchester. I cant see anyone booked into play next summer at the Ground?

Probably a load of crap but it makes you think? Noel has got his own kit this year and now gets seen at more games than Pete the Badge!

No bands for another couple of years, part of the agreement with coop live was 3 summers with no gigs, it also fits with the building work, so no gigs until the building works are finished.


And theres been talks for Oasis at heaton park ;)

They’ve got to do something to the floor area around the stadium and JM Way or we will have brand new buildings sat on something that looks like it’s been there 40 years.

IMHO Surface water management is the single most important thing they need to sort around the ground - given the propensity for it pi$$ing it down in Manchester you would have though that someone would have noticed the appalling giant puddling that happens all around the public areas when it rains, and started some plans to fix it with decent efficient drainage!

Keep in mind that it’s around 8 floors or so.

Staff hadn’t worked in City at Home for a good while. People were moved to the Academy site.

Coatigan posted a better breakdown in a follow up post. Offices do take as much space up as anything else but as a % it was less than half the building overall.
 
The sets in the groundwork around the standalone coop sign look well...if it's run straight through onto jmw..it will all start to look rich.

Any links to evertons groundwork mentioned earlier?

Oasis reunion rumours have been in circulation since the day after they split.

I would think next summer there will be no concerts as the old roof needs to be removed and that involves a lot of machinery on the pitchside.

There will be a crane on the pitch next summer to take the old roof off and I imagine they will put a new pitch down after.

Doubtful as the building work will still be in place and maybe the removal of the old roof, not sure of the schedule, Especially as the North Stand is the stage for gigs due to the access to the services tunnel We will probably be away for our first game in league 3 as well to give more time for construction work

There are plans to plant trees around the Etihad to soften its appearance. The 3 trial pine trees are still growing outside the East stand entrance.

The stadium wrap will include some back lit living walls and atmosphere cleaning plants to complement our kit for 26/27,which is going to be Moss Green with living plant inserts from the Amazonian rain forest.

Worzle Gummage is replacing Moonchester as mascot, assisted by that big buxom lass orf the gardening programme.

Cam orn you gweens !!
 
This is what a good brick mock-up(Obsidian - Trinity Way) should look like.

Makes sense to do it last now so will have to wait and see what they come up with but, as it’s not something that will directly make money I do wonder. City like a corner to cut it seems.

We need to do something more long term to the grounds of the stadium. That paint job on Joe Mercer Way looked dated after two years and the grounds around City Square had looked a right state for a number of years.

Yep it’s a false economy otherwise but who knows.

Took nearly 50 years to put drainage in at Maine Road so I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one! :)
