North Stand Construction Discussion

[Blueknows]

We all do. Even Sheikh Mansour does.

Thanks for all your updates your efforts are much appreciated

The 3 large LCD screens will add colour and motion and catch the eye. The planting, landscaping, and street furniture will soften the grey, which is very prevalent at the moment during construction. The glass exterior at street level which is currently hid behind the hoardings will help as well. Don’t worry. I have seen this on numerous city centre developments over the years.

I would like to see Joe Mercer Way redeveloped and redesigned. That is very important. ATM it’s in a poor state. Let’s be honest, even with the living wall on the Coop Live Arena side of Joe Mercer Way, Joe Mercer Way is still looks bland and boring, with little if nothing along it.

Should put the statues of the players on either side of it.

Having seen the ultra close up of the spire light it’s clear that shoddy electrical work is why they’ve failed

Has anyone else noticed the discoloured and weathered exterior panels on the South stand shown in the picture?

Are they weathered and discoloured or is that just morning condensation?

With 1894 posting about members relocating to the new North Stand tier 2.

When meeting the club, would it not be a suggestion to ask them to change their ideas about Tier 1 in the North Stand and deliver what they advised in the planning document, which was a safe standing in Tier 1 right behind the goal?

As you may have seen in the recent victory against Real Madrid, the most vocal fans in Madrid are behind the goal

The club need to dedicate multiple blocks, not just the two in the SS, for atmosphere. Whether it’s the SS or the NS doesn’t matter to me but we need 5000 or so like minded fans together like the old kippax days

Video from this morning more seat frames going in, nice to workers on a Sunday. Cheers

The South Stand fits that bill. They don't sing as much as they used to.

Not taking the piss, do the away day lot actually stay until the end at home games? I saw a lot of “new City fan” types yesterday in CBL1 and much as we want to besmirch them as tourists, they actually stayed until the end. Some of the more vociferous regulars appear to fuck off at 80 minutes.

In the South stand 1, don’t think thats true, in fact as a matchday ticket buyer I know it’s not, tickets in there rarely available, in fact isn’t true for most of the ground, most SC holders probably haven’t moved for years.I have asked before though where do most of the regular away fans sit for home games is it together ?
Ideally they’d organise themselves and try and relocate to be together because they are the loudest fans we have. To be fair though maybe they are already in the SS1.

No they don't all sit together same as every member if 1894 is not in SS lower

Maybe they don’t want to which is fair enough, but would be good if those that wanted to could organise and get together in a vocal area,whether South stand or North.Anyway this thread isn’t about that so best leave it.
