North Stand Construction Discussion

[Gordyola]

Is it just the photos they asked not to be shared, rather than the discussions and information talked about

Pretty much asked not to share. I had a long chat with one of the Sisk guys as I was interested in the engineering and logistics he said that everything was under NDA and all the guys on site are made aware of it I think it comes from the club rather than Sisk

It's one of those things. If I/we could share, we would share. But out of respect, and having been invited by Sisk to their Open Doors event, it's only fair we do as Sisk have asked. It's about not getting people into trouble as well. If the club and Sisk said share what you want, then I would have. I'm sure others would have as well.

When will they be doing another.

They are currently involved in several major projects including a £400 million cancer research centre at St Ormonds St Children's Hospital.

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying.

£400m?

The 10 questions I had written down, and what I wrote down during the presentation have been forwarded to City. Sisk are waiting on an OK from the club. The whole event is pretty much NDA'd.

TBH I can't really remember the specific and interesting details of the presentation.

There was an amazing North stand construction sequence animation video that lasted over 2 minutes.

From distant memory didnt Laing produce an animated short video of the build stages on the south stand ?? Or did I imagine it or was it the Jonny walker blue label :-)

Thanks JRB.I am glad it was a good event but the lack of transparency is a tad disappointing. Not even an indication of whether the project is on time.

 

[Coatigan]

£400 million !!

Impressive. Particularly as all the reports say 300m.

But yeah a huge impressive project all the same, and some scale for them.

Sisks figure not mine.

Sisks figure not mine.

Yeah not mine either in fairness, just going off various reports.

I think the Club constantly operate under a NDA, they tell us bloody nothing.

 

[HelloCity]

They have, I owned up to who I was and had a good chat, they have watched my footage since day one and enjoy it. They said they would love to know where I get my info from as it has been remarkably accurate:D, the bigger bosses had also had them in the office asking them if they was supplying me info.
We can’t post any pictures but we can talk about what was said, so good job I happened to record the whole meeting and have an idea how to make it into a video using my older footage of each thing they were talking about

Would they be ok with you doing that?

 

[JGL07]

Sisks figure not mine.

They must had added on all the contractual claims they expect to win?

Probably not thinking about it , so will leave it

You could subtitle the question and answer over each section of video [emoji106]

I'd wouldn't do anything that threatens your ability to continue your flights as-is, although I don't think they have any legal redress on flying over the stadium I think they could make it very difficult for you if they chose to...

Is this the viewing platform (cropped from your latest video)

 

[bluesmith]

Pure intentions, maybe.

I.e that people coming to these are not doing it for their own gain and exposure, but genuine interest in the build. I would have had no issue with that myself, if I had managed to be there.

If you remember a long time ago, we had a brief discussion about progress reports and outside influences that work against Sisk as contemporaneous records. I still think records like this scare them.

Yes it is.

The view gives a really good side view of the 2nd tier, the 3rd tier, the yellow roof beam supports, and the roof beams themselves.

Speaking for myself here, but I am happier to see common courtesy among people, than I am to see photos and information from the event. I.e if people were asked not to share, whether there is any real recourse in stopping it or not, I'm glad to see them not sharing even just as a mark of respect and staying true to their own word. Fair is fair.
