North Stand Construction Discussion

[Gone for a Burton]

There are plans to plant trees around the Etihad to soften its appearance. The 3 trial pine trees are still growing outside the East stand entrance.

The stadium wrap will include some back lit living walls and atmosphere cleaning plants to complement our kit for 26/27,which is going to be Moss Green with living plant inserts from the Amazonian rain forest.

Worzle Gummage is replacing Moonchester as mascot, assisted by that big buxom lass orf the gardening programme.

Cam orn you gweens !!

Enjoyed that film but the section on public transport was pure fantasy. Transport seems to be the elephant in the room with this project.

This is what a good brick mock-up(Obsidian - Trinity Way) should look like.

They’ve got to do something to the floor area around the stadium and JM Way or we will have brand new buildings sat on something that looks like it’s been there 40 years. That and some trees and green areas would set everything off perfectly.

Makes sense to do it last now so will have to wait and see what they come up with but, as it’s not something that will directly make money I do wonder. City like a corner to cut it seems.

We need to do something more long term to the grounds of the stadium. That paint job on Joe Mercer Way looked dated after two years and the grounds around City Square had looked a right state for a number of years.

Yep it’s a false economy otherwise but who knows.

IMHO Surface water management is the single most important thing they need to sort around the ground - given the propensity for it pi$$ing it down in Manchester you would have though that someone would have noticed the appalling giant puddling that happens all around the public areas when it rains, and started some plans to fix it with decent efficient drainage!

Took nearly 50 years to put drainage in at Maine Road so I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one! :)
