North Stand Construction Discussion

[ssskies]

I’m not good at public speaking, but via the forum, I’d like to thank our 2 fantastic drone flyers, Colin and Stephen, for all the hard work, effort, time and dedication they have both put into filming the construction of the North stand this year. Happy Christmas and best wishes to the both of you from all of us on Blue Moon.

Thankyou very much jrb and all Blue Moon members we have both enjoyed seeing the transformation of the stand and seeing how the stadium, hotel and shop etc are taking shape. Thanks for welcoming us to the Blue Moon forum and the positive feedback. Here's to finishing the project in 2026!!! Cheers everyone

Merry Christmas Blues
Not long to go now until the test events will be announced in the new year for the stand .

Strange that the bulk of the new seats are still under the covers. Isn't most of the work directly over them pretty much completed at this stage?

I think the covers are more for appearance reasons on match days imagine all those empty seats otherwise

Yes and maybe to spell out to people that they can't go and sit in them if they feel like it yet.

Is the NS element of the project on time ?

If not, may it be better to resolve all the ticket pricing & conditions along with the relocation protocols & 1894s shenanigans, and defer its opening until the start of next season.

We've lived without it for long enough.....getting everything right first time for the long term benefit of everyone must be the objective.

I hope Khaldoon reads the forum.

The official line for the extension is sometime in early 2026 guesses on here is around March
There will need to be a phased opening to ensure to obtain the necessary approvals
Towards the end of the season we may well have significant matches with high demand so makes sense to use the additional seats to meet it

The allocation of ST places will not be until next season so no shenanigans for this season
It wont be KAM's decision this is below his pay grade, he will get updates on progress at board meetings

The small number of people who may (or may not) move at the back of the bottom tier will find out more details before too long.

Yep but it might be for next season as the City Hall hospitality won’t be until then
