North Stand Construction Discussion

[eyalluvitt]

The cost of the project is reported as 300m. The project, rather than the build.

How much can the club expect to make annually?

£115m.

Looks like the last 3 temp supports no longer attached to the new roof .

And it hasn’t collapsed.

Good start!

It's going to have 63k seats which will make it the 2nd biggest club stadium in England (only behind Old Trafford).

62k. Less than West Ham's capacity. Still wonderful though. I think by the end of the season we were at 52,600 so it will be a huge change.

Millennials won’t have a fucking clue haha

Is it private walker from Dad's Army?? ;-)

Need to squeeze some extra in then!

I've noticed that the centre entrance / exit is taller than the others. They're all the same on the Populus drawings, is there a reason for this change?

To allow all the tall supporters easier access.

If you enter the ground holding an inflatable banana you get corralled through that entrance

Natalie can sit on my knee, if that helps. Happy to help out.

Anyone notice the water troth in the middle of the stand, visible in the latest videos. That'll be what the metal C shaped frame being fixed to the terrace was then.

It is to avoid any sanctions by the Premier League to avoid prejudice against giraffes.

Thought they’d be much quicker getting those roof panels off.

Theybare doing it. There is a lot to do that is involved there.

- protect the pitch, set up cranes, base, access, remive seats etc. All done.
- connect all the end pieces above. Pretty much done
- remove the yellow gantry bearing onto the beams. started on one bay the west side,
- strip the roof cover and purlins out bsck to bare beams. Halfway there in a hit and miss bay pattern
- disconnect the cable and two connections to the beams
- remove two parts of each beam
- remove props
- make good holes, connections, check ring cable etc.

Can't see any obvious reason. I thiught maybe to gove the GA+ folk a bitnif a fancier entrance, but itnis ankevel above that. There will be something physically there as a reason I would think.

Someone has properly shat the bed with that junction at the hotel top floor step on the obtuse angle.

It's a funny sensation when you are up there on the jib, the jib is swaying a little the traffic going one way and the clouds going another. You are normally on a short Lanyard fitted with a glider on a wire so you are not going to fall off
