North Stand Construction Discussion

[Kink Lad Cee]

I get what you’re saying here. It’s been bothering me for ages too. There are 12 roof beams so you’d expect the roof to be level between beam 6 and 7. However it doesn’t look like it does. See my pic below. Once you’ve seen it you can’t unseen it

Needs the tension bars adjusting in my opinion.

So, a new big screen that doesn’t match the other 2.

1 corner left blank ha. Great idea. Will look brilliant City.

Better than no screen at all

I just don’t get it. Spend shed loads on redevelopment and then a miss mash of screens. Makes no sense.

that's a shame - and for me in 101 (201 whatever) means the the screen diagonally across from me will be missing :-(

much the same why the E/W 3rd tiers werent extended by one block the same as South Stand ends - I think about 500 missing seats which I think will be important when we're battling spuds and dippers for attendance records next season

Why not just make the corners all the same?! FFS

That corner is for the yearly clockometer to count the years since rags last won the league.

Or the amount of corners that don't clear the defender at the near post?

Maybe they’ll upgrade the NW one eventually to match the new one then remove NE so just have 2 in total.

How do we know that?

Please provide your evidence.

Keep in mind that the supports for the northern screens are not a perfect outline of the screens.

Get rid of some of the pitch clutter.

Fucking hell we moan about the team, the directors, Pep, the kits, the pies, the beer, the chips, the prices, the ticket allocations, the shop, the badge, the metro, and now the fucking tv screens lol

 

[Penders1957]

Is it not just the angle of the image taken from the drone? Challenge for @ssskies and @cpoverview - see if you can get a shot of the whole roof with your drone exactly parallel to the pitch showing the purlin between beams 6 and 7 being perfectly horizontal (or not).

If it is flat we’re risking an old Traffordesque waterfall ! :-(

It’s a tribute to Maine Road. Nothing matched up there.

It's not known as BlueMoan for nothing, you know?


You forgot getting out of the car parks, by the way.

 

[mrcakey]

Is it not that that netting on the front is making it look more skew than it is?
