North Stand Construction Discussion

A break out space is normally a room or office with muted colour tones, indoor plants, soft furnishing, and bean bags. A place to go and relax, unwind, and to destress.

De -stress FFS, Watching football and City in particular is highly stressful. Not sure there’s a need for this. Sensory rooms for autistic fans/kids is different.

Yep, I'm led to believe by my Rag mate that old trafford has one in every stand and since 2012 they are a welcome space for a lot of the delusional Rag going Cunts.

Away players hated it?

Absolute, total, romantic bullshit.

Well I certainly hated the old Kippax. The sight lines were abysmal and the bogs were beyond primitive.

The only time I ever went there was when the Scoreboard End had been demolished and I moved straight back to the North Stand when it opened.

My last time in there was for a League Cup tie against Chelsea around 1993. I was working in Manchester and staying in a hotel near the airport. I was a bit late setting out and hit traffic on the Parkway. I did get to the ground around ten minutes before kick-off but there were horrendous queues at the turnstiles. I finally got in 25 minutes into the match. The attendance was just over 16,000. That kinda summed up the Swales era.

The poor view from the Kippax - despite me being 5ft 11 inches tall - reminded me of why I never went there.
 
I’ve not been following her progress at all since the early announcements but I thought we were going to have a proper home end to Match the likes of spurs and Dortmund?
This release shows nothing of the sort and is just going to be a normal expansion with a mixed bag of supporters and tourists and if the club don’t get it right could have a negative affect on atmosphere as there will be apathy from singers to commit to the move and the vocal support will become even more fragmented.
I was going to move into it from east stand and get stuck in but I’m not sure atm.

They are NOT behind the net.

The pitch side locations are the worst for acoustics and 'context' views.

Spuds, Arse ??

For the record.....auditorium, arena, theatre and stadium speakers are STACKED VERTICALLY not horizontally.

There is a reason for this.....do you know what it is ??

It is not purely for acoustic reasons.

Premier league clubs are hardly the best examples given they are mandated to have away seats on the lower tiers.

Look abroad and the vast majority of sections are in the gods for the most part. Out of sight and out of mind. You do not give away sections prime seating on the lower tier.

Even if we was allowed to move all the away fans up top I wouldn't do that either given the noise they would make each game. I'd keep them precisely where they are. The three tier split means it is usually difficult for them to get anything going which can only be to our benefit.

I’m at the back of 116 and it was really good.
However.. when I watched the TV on catch up it didn’t come across like that at all.
I think we just have to face facts that the stadium does not keep the noise it like say Newcastle, Sheff Utd, Wolves for example.. old grounds with structures that don’t leak the noise.

It will eventually become like the NFL where you get 2 hours of fans farting and belching with the occasional cheer when points/goals are scored
