I find it amazing how they can perfectly match up the old terracing to the new terracing. One thing that I have noticed at the beginning of the video is there does seem to be a slight difference in height but I think it’s intentional. Spurs’ one tier stand also has a sort of small step up divider in the lower/middle area.

Yeah true, arguably. Some will have good views. That's the case for most hotels.

It looks to me like the Steps are being cast on site in the blue molds, at 3.50 you see the blue mold and a set of steps to the left recently cast.

I didn't think you could see the swamp from there.

I don't think people appreciate how complex the roof geometry is here. Particularly around the two towers, skybar and the main stand roof.

I've noticed it a while back, the different bitty steps and junctions that will all need tied up and weatherproofed. For example the main curve of the roof extends over the skybar projection, but is interrupted by the flat bits of the towers. Which then by basic geometry arent consistent on all sides as thet meets a curve. Which also slopes! Always thought they would have tried absorb that into the curve. And all that before you get to the steps in roof to the rear blocks.

Whatever they do it surely can't be as bad as the south stand corners!

I did say complex, rather than bad ;).

"Well might I ask exactly what DO you expect to see out of a Manchester hotel window? The Sydney opera house perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of Wilderbeasts sweeping majesticly...."

Part of the hotel will have great views of the City centre skyline

Having had a hotel room in the Hotel in the main stand of MK Don's stadium - I really did have the 'if Carlsberg did Hotel Rooms' moment - I could see the pitch through the patio doors that opened to the back row of the stand - not ideal parading around the room exposing your gentlemen's sausage mind!
