North Stand Construction Discussion

[johnny crossan]

Can we talk about City in this thread and leave those who want to talk about United to the United thread (or general Stadium Developments thread)?

 

[fuskarn]

will there be matches with reduced capacity?

Just been to the stadium went to see my dad at the memorial garden, that stand is huge it's going to be a great sight when it's done.

latest CPOverview Drone Flight shows the back couple of rows of the Family Stand Second Tier fenced off now (plus the loss of the old boxes up there) so there will be a small reduction

Stick some plastic chairs round the touchline.

Was that before the Cram Coe era mate. I had always thought Ovett and Foster were the main rivals then Coe and Cram, you live and learn, thanks mate.

Foster was a long distance runner 5k & 10k.
Ovett, Coe & Cram were middle distance runners and ran 800 & 1500m. Cram came to prominence towards the end of the careers of Ovett & Coe

Capacity reduced to 52,900 for next season. As advised by City to the PL.

The white sails(?) look very underwhelming.

They look like cheap white MDF panels.

You'll see when you have a look at them before or after the Ipswich match.

As Jim Bowen used to say on Bullseye, "look what you could have won "

It was smaller than a stand built by Stockport County and looked like something you’d see a mid Championship club build.

So I can’t like it then ??

I moved into it for one season as we had been moved out of the North Stand for the Spurs cup tie if I remember correctly. Only stayed for one season because it was absolute shite.
My first season ticket was in Maroon Block 3 of the Platt Lane.

Then we disagree mate
I liked it and we had some great lads in there with us who felt the same.
I relocated into there the the North Stand as well and I loved it in there!
