North Stand Construction Discussion

[WARBABY]

Vertigo inducing. How do people even go up on those cherry pickers? What did they do before they existed when erecting steel at heights? There are Empire State Building clips of erecting steel that I cannot watch. Not the same scale or scenario but equally as unwatchable.

The scale of the whole North Stand development is something to behold.

They went up riding the steel then slid down the columns after fixing the piece they rode upon

Mate of mine is a steel erector. First job, first day, they had him on top of City Tower in Piccadilly crawling along the frame that juts out and holds up the window cleaning cradle.

I wouldn't have a clue. As MCC are also involved with the plans for the Collar site, it could be anything.

Stating the obvious. It might leisure still, commercial, tech, education, etc. Whatever it is, it will create jobs. It might be part housing, towers, apartment blocks, etc

You never know with City. That's why it's so exciting.

What it won't be is a MacDonald's and a KFC drive-through, or a bog standard retail park.is

Forgive my ignorance but
Is there a basic plan showing the actual boundaries of the collar site ??

The large parcel of land opposite the East stand, and to the right of the footbridge. The small parcel of land on the other side of the footbridge next to the away coach park can be included as well. (but I don’t include that, myself) Most of the Collar site is now a temporary car park for match days.

It’s an old aerial picture, so you now have to factor in the North stand and hotel expansion.(instead of City Square, shown in the picture) The hotel expansion slightly eats into the Collar site, but not by very much. There’s more information about the Collar site in this thread. The thread is 1522 pages long. https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/...um-and-collar-site-development-thread.328878/

The adjoining land around the stadium is frequently called the Collar Site. This site was the selected location over sites in London and Blackpool for the Supercasino in 2007 – but the proposal was later abandoned amid controversy over the regeneration benefits. The Collar Site is on what was once Bradford Colliery.

It would be good, some how, to get a similar aerial shot when the North stand expansion and hotel are completed.

I will put in an application to send the drone up 500m , might just about get it all in if i put a wide angle filter on.
Or i might try a load of lower images and stitch them together.
either way it should be perfectly possible

This mornings flight.
It really has been a lot of progress this week, wasn't expecting to see that much progress since the lift on Tuesday

Havent had a chance to watch it yet, but as mentioned before the truss unlocks a fair bit to then fly up.
