North Stand Construction Discussion

Which video? Are you saying they are working in the SW corner?

AC Elec have a relatively small electrical package on the North stand element working for the M&E contractor.

As for the 4th screen its not its the Control Room thats currently below block 322 being changed to a hospitality box and the control room being built where the scaffolding is as I stated on here a few months ago.

@bluesmith, it says the name of the company on high-vis

Below is the control box in there, with the TV studio at the end

Could they not have the control box on either side of the screen

This is from the planning statement from the South Stand 2014 shows the control room as the darked out window in the second photo; the last part is a TV studio

With the new North Stand, there are 2 new TV studios at the top of the stand.

Take it, the old control room will be made into more executive boxes, as there are 13 boxes on the left and only 10 on the right.

Making the control room an executive box would bring it back up to 13 on each side

There is the South Stand in the planning statement for the North Stand

The screen on the other side is getting built

The screen fitted on the other side in July looks like there is enough space at each site for a viewing area for the control room

On a slightly North Stand related topic, a few on here will have met Carl Brierley the Project Director for Sisk on the open days, his son plays for Brentford and is currently on loan at Exeter so will be playing against us in the FA Cup. He's a City fan too.

Thanks, but that doesn't really give any particular month.

I can very much see why they wouldn't want to commit.

The only formal timeline I have seen was Sisk's own programme from over a year ago, which had it for 'the end of '25/beginninf of '26.' Which we took to be somewhere between December-February. The club's previous statement said 'the start of 2026', which loosely lined up with that.

If they are now saying 'the season of..' then they do seem to be leaving room there.

I'm still holding out for February for the stand, with minimal concourse offerings. I don't see anything currently to suggest that isn't feasible. Other than the club deciding to open all the FoH areas at the same time, and delay the seating sections for that.

I believe those that have heard things that give updates fwiw, I just always like to compare it to what is publicly available.
