North Stand Construction Discussion

[Penders1957]

These tripody supports but with four legs instead, on top of the towers that will hold the new roof and cables up, and have the rooftop walk and platforms between them. More of a descriptive than a technical term, really.

I’ve been at the ground today. Everything seems to be more solid including the steelwork for the new stand and the hotel.

Glad we have the commentary from CP. Some decent footage here but completely ignores the stand being joined up, work on the towers etc.

Does he mention it being on rollers to be pushed in later?

The build grows so fast and looks amazing, it stands so far out you that you get the feeling it's all in the wrong place

I walked there from the MRI yesterday and it was further than I thought lol. The expanded stand and surrounding complex is going to be amazing.

Yeah but as others keep pointing out, it will get pushed into the right place, being built on rollers.

it will be better for the fans who leave early, I can see it now 15 minutes left and the stand starts to move away from the ground, Great Idea and City comes first again with technology

I’m guessing the 2 x cranes planted in the hotel will probably come down before end of year at this rate?
What do the experts think?

Las Ramblas.

Or more like Ramblers ?

Think the tower cranes will remain until each wing is “water tight “ ie roof finished and all facades in placed and fully glazed and “sails “fitted so not by Xmas

All this joking about the north stand on wheels is inaccurate, in fact the whole Etihad stadium is on wheels and will be pushed to meet up with the north stand

Surely you mean it'll be pushed to meet up with Northern Premier League?

With the big screen on the front face of the hotel does that not mean there will be quite a few rooms without a window?

Also is the rake of the new terrace steeper than the existing L2? Looks like it from that image and would be much better if so.
