North Stand Construction Discussion

[Gray]

You have to actually go in person to see the development, it is bloody massive.

I am very impressed with what I saw today.

These are my shots from today
Second Tier Concourse Family Stand with plastic sheet keeping the weather out


New ironwork (coninuation of seat rake) and pillars bolted to ground


View look towards westwards - the Moonies frieze on the wall has been seen from cpoverviews drone videos

View of the roof/props/boards above 2nd tier - later in the game the scaffold setup at the very right end near the big screen had security people sat in it watching what was going on

They’re not all gone, although this one was in mourning due to the loss of his two brothers.

Taken this afternoon (the ones inside the stadium were from 301)....

Met an Ipswich fan in the Metrolink queue after the game. He claimed that we were building the stand on rollers and would push it forward when finished. He was adamant he was right.

Surely we will tow it with a tractor.

Loads of City fans looking up at the North stand taking shape and taking pictures today.

Ok, now I see it. Bottom photo, the roof trusses Are actually braced in pairs, eith the diagonals between the V-props. That's why they are doing the hit and miss roof removal, inbetween the braced pairs. Just needed a photo close enough to show it.

Almost a side view of the fins.

The only way to get a full view of the side of the fins is over the hoardings and zooming in, or access to the compound.

The underside cladding.

Bit of a weird focus on jrb there for no apparent or relevant reason whatsoever.

Although a lot of his posts are a bit on the odd side (to say the least, with a strange obsession with the exclamation point) it was Lex who named checked jrb (twice no less) in the original post.

 

[Centurions]

Isn't he the guy who does the progress report & Drone images ?

jrb does updates and photos, the excellent drone videos are @cpoverview

Looks like cheap kitchen worktops!

I can’t quite get my head around the engineering involved in joining the old stand with the new!!

 

[jrb]

The brick.

The exterior brick/s?

The name of the brick is Springwell Red.

Ibstock doesn't list Springwell Red on their website. It isn't coming up in search.

Taylor Maxwell do.

OK.
My mistake
Apologies to Centurion.
I'll remove my incorrect reply to him.(done)

Just 1 more picture from yesterday.

I don't know if you can make it out, but there's quite a nice curve on the right side end of the steel/stand.



I'll take some more pictures next Sunday.

I never saw it bud so no damage done.
