North Stand Construction Discussion

[HelloCity]

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?!

I assume that this design is no longer possible given the new single tier upper level in the NS extension? (Although I note that all 4 corners have been left blank)

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.

I dont recall anyone stating that there has been an 'oven ready' scheme in place.

Can you post examples ?

A fair few of your posts suggest this. Note the word suggest, not state.

Why is it that different from the hotel building downstand beams out of interest? The cantilever looks a similar distance.

The slab edge is stepping out in two directions on the Commercial building, we didn't have this on the hotel. We have corbels on the side of the columns as well as the cantilever beams......it makes a very interesting fixing detail for quite a lot of large diameter bars to interface with each other supporting the columns and floors above

That pic shows the top rows are a long, long way back from the pitch. Inevitable, I guess.
Truly, what a development this is! If Swales were alive, he'd be insisting that this is exactly what he had in mind for Maine Road.
