North Stand Construction Discussion

[Gordyola]

Anyone know if this is the final finish for this bit or there something overlaying it? Took a walk around on Sunday. I think it could be so much better if this is to be the final finish. There's no texture or detail. It looks like an after thought (No Shit Sherlock) but the materials used to blend the south stand to the original structure are much cleaner and seamless.

I don't mind the abruptness of the stand coming out, just the blending of old to new.

I should really be patient and wait for the finished product, but can anyone elaborate?

No. It’s not being used until next year.

You only need to look at the drone footage to realise that although maybe 2/3rds of the seats are fitted, the access is probably still a building site, and anyway they will have to do a few safety events to iron out any snagging. These maybe youth or women’s games that would fill the new tier. They won’t get a licence to fill if they don’t do this.

I think the general consensus is east and west stand next in the medium to long term, with possible wrap around for follow.

I understand that but what I meant was will they have all the seating in place so they don't have to cover it with City branded Tarpaulins ?

 

[bluem@n]

Have they run out of blue seats to finish it?

Theyre gonna rip some out from the sports ground

Waste not, want not.

 

[ssskies]

Not a chance i would go up there, thats why i have the drone!

[BMR]

Have they run out of blue seats to finish it?

No they decided not to put any more seats in as we don't have enough fans to sell it out

I'd be surprised if they don't cover them again until the stand is open, regardless of if they've completed the fit or not.

Think with the puma deal it makes sense to have our sponsors name’s prominently displayed.
