North Stand Construction Discussion

Tbh, jrb you make some decent points, you were just messing with my OCD!

I want to see the final designs just as much but we’ll have them soon enough. Full construction starts in November after all, with ground works starting in April/May.

Thank you.

I hate getting into spats. :-(

As you say, the full planning application should be up on the MCC planning portal in a few months time.
 
What are the vertical panels at the back of the stand? Are they windows? Probably? Are they cladding?

When you consider somebody knocked up this image, asking for something similar from Populous showing what the expanded North stand will/could look like isn’t too much to ask for during the consultation phase.

This looks amazing a proper home end, I would rather picture 2 than picture 1

These are the kind of CGI’s we should be seeing.

These are good renders, but it still looks like a bolt on the stadium, if the rest of the stadium flowed onto this, it would not look as bad, as I said earlier if they were cladding the stadium it would be good

If the North Stand was to level with the new fan zone area it would not look as bad, look at the Man City drawing the roof not level
 
I’m not, I’m just confused at the flip flopping. Complaining about others moaning but now youre the biggest moaner in the thread. Complaining about those asking for better images and now youre the biggest complainer for those too. You’re all over the place.

We asked for a proper home end stand and not only have we got this we've got a superb fans zone, club shop, hotel and museum yet the moners have started already ! The things is it doesn't matter how many fill in the questionnaire or ask for better CGI images, it's happening the consultation period is just to meet the necessary required protocol !

sky bar viewing windows?
 
Yes mate, on one of the CGI`s on here, there looks like people walking around the top level of the north stand and there is rumours of a sky bar up there? Would be an incredible view pre match having a beer?
There is glazing on the opposite side of the stand facing the new plaza too

The best I could do without totally blurring the CGI.

The original silver roof supports remain, with an additional 3 white supports each. Looks like the roof supports, 2 original and 6 new, will be incorporated within the new building? Or maybe the 6 additional supports will be located on or within the roof of the new building, but not all the way down to ground level? You can see a little white block under the middle white support of the right side, which looks like it’s located on the roof of the right building/arm.

It looks like 2 levels of them above City square, I can't tell if both levels continue through to the pitch side although the windows look high enough. Presumably it's linked to the hotel, perhaps a pricey corporate area?

Could be a whole level for corporate from the back of the stand/windows, see above CGI, to back of L2 looking out over the stadium and pitch? You’d assume this level would be accessible from the hotel? In the CGI you can see 2 separate levels looking back over the plaza. Under the bottom level you can see the front glazing for the new City plaza.

Level 2.
Level 1.
Glazing for the City plaza below.
Steel, cladding or glazing above the entrance to City Plaza.

That looks similar to "The Point" at Lancashire cricket ground.

Be some view up there, I just hope the match tickets & seats that go with it are up there as well, the City in me says they’ll take the middle two blocks of what is now NSL2 and have lifts back to the skybar/hotel, I hope not because that’s part of the problem in the SS. This is why I was in favour of having corporate boxes under the lip of level 1, with seats spread across the back of the stand, sound would then travel back from the pitch side seats & up into level 2
