That was my only problem with the sky bar being at the top when the drawings came out as the roof has to be higher to accommodate it. Defeats the point of the singers congregating at the back. I guess the back of the stand will still be where the most noise comes from but the noise won't project down as well as it should if the roof was lower.
The SS roof was made as low it could be, trying to cover people from weather whilst still allowing people at the back to see properly. It will be a bit higher for the NS in relation to the back row if designed for standing.
There's no doubts we can create an amazing atmosphere on our day but when a new stand is being built you'd like to think the designers think about the acoustics in order to help the noise sound crisper and louder.
It's not just a massive deal for us, it's a massive deal for Greater Manchester and the North. Loads of jobs in trades, hospitality etc and a knock-on for the colleges who will be providing the skills that will equip people for life-long careers - which will then further stimulate the local economy. The ripple effect of this is significant. By the time we get out of this sticky economic period the city-region will be booming, because investors like City Football Group are willing to make these big bets amid all the gloom. Daniel Levy, Fenway, the Glazers and the snides at the PL can get to fuck. This is what responsible ownership looks like.
