North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

They're for the huge drop down tifo's I think.

The TIFO Banners are proposed to be hung in 3 filleted segments to accommodate the curve of the bowl, allowing for a triptych display. The banner will be hung from 3m beams at the edge of the bowl roof, to be coordinated by the structural engineers. The banners need fall in front of the seating tier to ensure spectator safety. The location of the banners will not adversely impact upon the structural design of the roof and will contribute positively to the match day experience of the supporters.

Conveniently also gives them ledges that don't need finished to fix temporary protective barriers to, leaving easier access to finish the edging of the cladding that needs flashed.

A parsec is a measure of distance, so how can anyone claim they did the run in a shorter distance? Like me saying I went from Denton to Manchester in under 2 miles.
Don't trust that Solo, lying ****. ;)

Hahahaha, brilliant.

The reason for the obscuring of the Etihad and Puma logos in the seats is that UEFA don’t allow any advertising aside from their partners The stadium’s original name is used City of Manchester Stadium Puma have just renewed their sponsorship for 10 years

Thanks Gordyola, with Everton not being in Europe for a while I've never seen the cover up of seats. Good job City are regulars in Europe. Long may it continue and hopefully Everton get there in the next couple of years. Cheers

I must admit (as I don’t sit near these logos) I stupidly thought they jumbled the seats up by physically moving them around rather than covering them up so your video was good to show that.

Kinhell the bricklayers are back !!! The quality assurance mob will be frothing at the mouth . Having never laid a brick it looks fine to me , but am sure others with have a different opinion

Frothing at the mouth? Ok.

A good video of the new tier with City fans doing the Poznan on level one against the Rags.

I know concerts have been discussed as part of this thread in the past but I see Take That have confirmed one at the Etihad for next summer now so be interesting to see how that will work in terms of stage layout etc.

managed to get there for the 1st time last night. Looking great overall. it's still bugging my OCD the lack of a fourth screen. It also further highlights those dodgy corners.

The corners are poor but I thought the 3rd phase wad to fill them in, joining all of the 3rd tier together? When is that going to take place and what would the capacity be after? Surely another 10,000 at least filling all 4 corners!?

Thanks @ssskies for getting there so early this morning to effectively capture a night view. The stadium looks really impressive now (what the north and south stand lack in symmetry they make up for in size/impact). This is my new screensaver:

When did you hear that the third tier would be joined together? Don't think anybody ever said that. I for one wouldn't want it. I like having three seperate upper tiers. Perfect bowls are boring.

Since we only have 2 tiers at the north stand, that could be a bit difficult.
