North Stand Construction Discussion

[Bournemouth Blue]

Builders in high vis were sat on the new tier watching the whole match today, lazy fuckers!

They might have been there to stop fans going into the new tier

I did bring my climbing ropes and clamps with me, but I couldn’t get past security at the entrance.:-)

Shame! LOL!

Haha. I actually thought ‘it would be funny if this was someone from bluemoon’!

Incredible modelling skills though. The goal of the photo was to show the scale from the ground next to a person.

(Shall I take it down? You’ve already outed yourself though!)

Its hardly a Police photofit.
Neither of us is averse to potential negativity from recognition to being either "bluemooners" or "City" fans, although I cannot speak directly for my mate. I'm sure he may convey to me his feelings in due course as I sent him a link. Please carry on.....

That single tier is going to be one impressive sight and, hopefully noise

The claim that these plans exist, to the capacity you suggest.

Don't get me wrong I fully believe you when you say you have seen them. I just don't think they are as ready to roll out as you make out. And with this being something you have seen and nobody else has, then it can't be backed by default.

I vaguely recall, in the early days of the proposed South Stand expansion seeing some drawings on line of a proposed ‘full bowl’ with an 80000 plus capacity?!

Were they not from Skyscraper City? (or whatever it's called) DiscoSteve maybe even?

I blagged an invite to some do at the CFA just before Covid and there was an architectural model - mockup of this in the lobby. No idea if it’s still there.

I have seen a few over the years. Including student projects and enthusiast attempts. None (that I have seen at least) that were beyond a basic concept, hence my slight hesitance whenever someone suggests there is an oven ready scheme in place.
