North Stand Construction Discussion

[WNRH]

Two things.

1. Will we continue to have the screens? They aren't on the initial plans.

2. Is there no way the club/council could close Councillor Street (off Ashton New Road) and Palmerston Street to any traffic and pedestrians and make them matchday buses only to Piccadilly. Once you get to the end of Palmerston Street, there are two options to get to Fairfield Street and then piccadilly? Might make it quicker than sharing the road at present with trams, cars and thousands of people walking in the street?

Looking forward to new stand not sure about the hotel though, we already have a large and increasing number of tourists at games with their freshly bought merch the hotel will only increase this and more local fans will be pushed out

It is brilliant news that they are going ahead. It probably means that although our reputation has been damaged by the ongoing FFP bullshit it is hasn't stopped City from continuing expanding.

If you Southstanders think your coming to the north stand and disturbing the peace you can Piss right Off

Responses to the concept of expanding the North Stand were positive. Expansion was seen as a further step in Manchester City’s growth, creating an opportunity to improve the fan experience.

An extended larger tier was the preference of a majority of fans, *with rail seating* available.

How do you get to turnstiles B1 and B2 from Joe Mercer way without cramming thru an indoor city sqyare/box park? It looks like a hotel is blocking any way through to the East stand from there?

I bet they never thought of that

A thing of beauty. Better than I had expected. A lot better.

get down the open days and raise these good points

I think City will relocate the screens. Too big a part of the game build up these days. Or, project to the ceilings of each stand.
