North Stand Construction Discussion

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

At least they said they are willing to extend the safe standing if the demand is there. So that's something.....I guess.

Surely the demand is there. It would make more sense to me, to make these changes now, before people get seated and used to not being stood up.

Surveys or something similar would make sense, if we want to find out about demand.

The entire middle section should be standing as well in my view

Higher up shows off the size of the expansion a lot clearer.

And the largest section of the away fans get to see that view on NSL3 as well.

It’s going to look great when it’s full for the big games.

Unfortunately if the team begins to struggle, hopefully not! We might end up with more empty seats.
I really think we need to go back to plastic season cards that you can pass on to anyone you choose too. The club with all the nonsense they have created over the season cards are making mountains out of mole hills. Nothing wrong with passing on you’re season card to a family member or friend.

No money in it!

There's no money in an empty seat either.

Especially with 8000 extra seats to sell.

Premier League will tell you different. Its THEY who have forced this on the club and demand to know (wherever possible) who is in the stadium for (alleged) safety reasons... as I've said before, if you don't like it, put your S/T in a Google/Apple Wallet on a 'burner phone' you end up with logically the same thing - a plastic (& metal) 'thingummy' that can be handed around. The club know this. Its rife at klanfield and rags.

A sad day for us crane fans. :-(

 

[jrb]

If there are no cranes left, how are they going to lift the rest of the skywalk sections onto the roof?

Maybe mobile as I would suspect they don't need to lift the weight that the fixed ones did , but I have zero construction knowledge:)

When they removed the old roof they had a mighty mobile crane, which probably bore a load much more than the skywalk parts.

@jrb I hear what you're saying, but there is. The seat has already been paid for. It's more a case of there's no EXTRA money in it for the club re merchandise, F&B, packaged tickets, etc.
I've said this before, if the club were concerned about bums on seats, they wouldn't be putting all these hurdles in the way of fans trying to do exactly this.

All I will say mate, as this conversation will take the thread off topic, let’s wait and see when the new tier and stand is open. Then we can all have a good chat about it.
