North Stand Construction Discussion

[JOGAMIGMOG]

They’re not putting everyone into the current concourse lol.

It’s going to be massive. All new concourses, internals etc

I’ll reserve judgement until I see the plans. But 6000 people in an end stand with less space for bars and toilets than 6000 people in a side stand where the bars are already inadequate……..the old saying you can’t fit a quart into a pint pot comes to mind.

It’s a brand new stand/expansion like the South Stand but with 2 tiers instead of 3. They’re not putting in some extra rows in the current build and then calling it a day. It’s going to be huge. Brand new concourses, internals, new roof etc.

If you remember my pictures, one of the soil testing rigs was past City Square. That could indicate the depth of the stand could be that far out? It will be much bigger than the South stand. City Square is going and is being replaced by the plaza, where the souvenir store currently is.

Since most people completely ignored or missed it:

Fucking amazing news! I'm buzzing with that, and can't wait to see the concepts. I wasn't planning on working from home tomorrow, but I think I will be.

Tomorrow Am.

Thanks.

I’m up at 4 am. Work. Will keep on checking. Probably 9am?

Great news. Gonna be a good week. Bristol away trip for me and hopefully some announcements. Two tiers will be amazing.

Did United win a trophy? ;-)

And in other much more important news. City have made public their plans to expand the North stand, etc.

Two tiers is mega and the rest sounds brilliant as well! Fuck you premier league! ;-)

External symmetry is vital. The ground is beautiful as it is so don't mess the long vistas up. I would just replicate the south stand inside but there's other priorities. However please no spurs wall. It's fucking shit. I've been there and it's myth.

If they create a replica of that south stand that would be so disappointing and boring…

Luckily sounds like that’s not going to happen. Bring on the tier two wall!

I can live with two tier whatever that is. I will just have to live with being OCD.
