North Stand Construction Discussion

[bluemc]

Yes!

Looks totally generic!

The central location of the crest sets the stage and provides some substance to the blank slate.

That being said, I have no idea what will be on the screens when it’s not a match day. Will it be a crest or turned off, or something else?

One screen will have a slideshow of graphs and charts on a continual loop, showing Donnarumma's kicking stats in comparison to Ederson's, produced and paid for by the #notourkeeper group.

The other will have a YouTube compilation video of Rico Lewis' career so far, set to Eastern European techno music.

Have we had the drones flying at night before? Sounds good.

I don't think we have due to the light Summer months, which are sadly coming to an end.

CP and SS will remember.

Wished they'd get rid of that red wall. It's been bugging me for months.

Thanks.

Seeing the lights actually working on the masts would be great. The lights on the masts haven't worked for years.

I'd have had the badge and a fucking big one above the sky bar.

As it is I fully expect shed loads of advertising both above & below the bar. After all it's a 'free' space and £££'s are £££'s.

mcfcblue20 has PM'd me.

The lights on the masts still aren't working.

Just to let CP and SS know.

The phasing hand-over plan. It will be completed in order of 1-5 as per the sections noted below.

I take it section 5 doesn’t literally stop a couple of metres down Joe Mercer Way!?

It’s seems a shame they aren’t seemingly taking the opportunity to sort out the pavers and drainage right around the stadium.

I think it might. I think that will be the extent of resurfacing and improvement they will do. At least under this specific application and contract, there may be broader improvement and resurfacing planned separately, I wouldn't know.

stick the logo on top like spurs do with their big cock.

I know nothing but thought there was retail and restaurant work to be done around the arena, I'd have thought or more guessed re paving Joe Mercer Way and the area around the arena would be all be done as part of that work.

That would be crazy but I can imagine you being right…..better to do none of it than a tiny bit of it!

Section 1 would cover works around the stand. Section 2 around the hotel. 4 and 5, around the retail, the restaurans units etc. Within this scope, as I understand it. I think Cob's query was beyond that, which may well happen, but isn't covered by this as a project, at least not in anything I have seen.

Yes ,as part of the expansion and planning for City, I was under the impression,maybe wrongly, there was another planning application for retail and reastaurant units around the arena, these are the works I meant?

What do you mean around the area, physically elsewhwere, outwith this development?

Yes, as part of the devoplment around the arena, sure somewhre I've seen there was an seperate planning application for retail and restaurants as part of the arena and canal area, remember thinking at the time JMW and landscaping around that part of the campus would happen after that. I may have immagined this if it doesn't actually exist :)
