North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

Just a few from yesterday.

The new drop down Tifo mechanisms have been fitted under the front of the roof.

Sorry, not very sharp.

Eagle eye there!

Because they want to use the existing control room as hospitality.

@bluesmith, why not use the area below where the seating is to build it, as there is plenty of room there and add the fourth screen

I'm not sure where you think there is room below the new control room? Are you saying take the seating out?

I’m assuming they are the Tifo mechanisms, as they don’t seem tie in with the Tifo image from the PA below? Obviously architects images in PA’s aren’t always similar to the final outcome.

I think there are 4 Tifo mechanisms? Only 3 are visible. The 4th Tifo mechanisms is probably hidden behind the CB roofline.





From the PA.

CP & SS. Can you get a close up shot of the Tifo mechanisms on your next videos please. And confirm there are 4 of them. Thanks.

Should the mechanisms not be at the end of the 3 metre projection beams , or will there be a pulley system at the end of the beam ??

When can we expect to see the construction of the roof over city square and the big screens being fitted at the end of hotel & museum?

I assume the etfe roof will be the very last item on the programme , with all works above and below the roof completed . Screens could obviously be done sooner and protected ,but who knows ??

Will do on my next one, was hoping to go today but the app i used showed rain so will go later in the week. I'm glad the nights are getting lighter as that will give me more opportunity to see get down and see more. Cheers

don't think thats what they are - if you look at my photo from 101 in the week they look more like downwards facing speaker packs - surely the TIFO mechanisms are further out towards the front edge

We have a winner I think, this is from @jrb s own picture and is under the west stand roof.

Sorry, have been out of the loop for a couple of weeks,
Link should work from 8am

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the window looks out from a "flexible hospitality room" that's used for the rooftop walk on non-match days and as hospitality on matchdays (no seats in the stadium are attached). It's the bit in purple from the D&A statement clip below.

Atmosphere and Acoustics

The design of the new North Stand will overcome the inherent disadvantages of thr lower, split South Stand.

Lets grasp this opportunity to make this City's home end.

9,500 fans all together on ONE level with at least 3,000 safe standing congregated in a wrap round design with the best acoustics in the stadium.

It is a defacto vip room. And also where the rooftop walk starts and groups doing it will gather. I imagine there will be a package, do the last walk before the game at a premium, and then the room is yours for the game.

1894 fan survey. (see thread)

SURVEY SAMPLE JUST OVER 3,000 - DOWN ON LAST YEAR - HOPEFULLY NOT APATHY - BUT THIS TIME WE DID ASK FOR NAMES AND SUPPORTER NUMBERS AS WE WERE HAPPY TO PASS ON RELOCATION REQUESTS TO THE CLUB

Are You Considering Relocating to The Expanded North Stand?

YES - 8%
NO - 92%

A mix of answers, vast majority happy where they are, some choosing to relocate to other areas, and some not renewing.

We have a database of supporters who have expressed an interest in moving to the North Stand and the OSC are planning a similar exercise and we have also a list of people who wish to move to the South Stand.

That’s incredibly disappointing, this is once in a lifetime opportunity to create an atmosphere! The south stand does not work

Obviously things may have changed but the D&A statement says that the rooftop walks are on non-matchdays only? I'd presumed that was a H&S stipulation, do Spurs do them on matchdays?
