North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

Just been past. That reverse upper middle section which has been added to the frame is huge. Images don’t do the scale justice at times.

Was thinking about you saying this.

So for a sense of scale in a more relatable context, here is the skybar piece at it's right height and size, on Deansgate. On its own between the two towers, and as part of the whole.

I guess their logic is that the most of the week on non-match days there is ample parking on site, and on match days many will come by public transport anyway.

I did remember the new roal that leads from Alan Turing Way to the drop of point outside the hotel. But I didn’t remember additional parking being created specifically for the hotel, and close to it. I’m assuming City don’t want to eat into the Collar site I’ll dig out the plan for the road layout in front of the hotel from the PA at some point.

Thanks for the clarification.

That’s good. :-) Very clever.

Would you mind if I reposted it on the SSC-MCR, North Stand Expansion thread, with credit?

Fire away, no need to bother with mentions or credit etc.

You and disco seem to be the only ones keeping that page alive lately.

I always give credit. :-)

There are few other posters contributing every now and again. The thread does get lots of views from City fans (and from United fans) ;-), so it’s worth updating.

The new stand is it set in that position or does it move forward to link up.

Well done for having empty streets to match the empty stadium

Though not obvious it is built on huge rollers and so can be moved much closer to the pitch when other works are complete.

See my quote above yours.

Those huge rollers have been condemned, so people in the Gods will need binoculars

On a serious note, as it seems the rake will be the same as the existing NS2 (shallow) and it has 1500 more seats than SS3 (much steeper rake) then will the back seats be further away than the back of SS3?
