North Stand Construction Discussion

[blueparrot]

At the back, close to an entrance and exit to the viewing gallery above. The corporates could arrive and leave as they please.

One indication of that not happening would be if the club made all of NSL2 safe standing. That would rule out corporate completely on NSL2.

To be fair we are all guessing, the only one that doesn’t seem to be guessing is @Manchester33 who has spoken to the club and asked for and been shown the plans. He doesn’t seem to think ther is any hospitality.
Guess we will need to wait and see.

SOUTH STAND -
I think it’s important to also get 1894 involved in the organisation of fans in SS 1 & 3.

Some won’t or can’t move to NS but want to be in an END to create atmosphere and two singing ends are better than one.

They should be given priority for seats in the central blocks directly behind the goals at the back and middle of SS3.

The overall numbers may be initially lower but the importance long term will be similar.

Additionally, I know the relocation of away fans from SS3 to ‘round the corner’ in ESL1 is logistically possible without compromising safety or proximity to the coach park.

This section will probably be vacated by many who go to one of the ends.

This is the last opportunity to get the reconfiguration of fans right for the long term future. 1894 should be all over this.

Finally, the family stand seems to be a stone in the shoe.
If one is required could it not be relocated to around the access tunnel area and become part of an International Stand for foreign tourists who don’t want the earthy Mancunian experience of being next to a hairy arsed, pissed up coke head !!

Finally finally, re engaging with displaced/lapsed season ticket holders from the Maine Road era (estimated at 12000) would create significant demand from the waiting list.

Finally, final, finished !!

Let’s not forget those in the family stand tier 2 now are making the first 30 rows full, they won’t want safe standing!

They'll have to move elsewhere then won't they this new stand needs to be standing

If the so called sky bar is going to be feature of the new North Stand why dont they lower it to just above the last row of seats , doing this would help the accoustics winthin the stand. This is why all Yellow Wall type stands are picthed at at a certain angle to help the noise. Popolus have designed loads of staduims with a copy of the Yellow Wall at one end, hopefully City are letting them do this and not driven by getting in more coprate area's in the ground

Yep, we've been told that there won't be any hospitality 'in the north stand'. Whether that means just the stands (so they have a corporate viewing platform) is uncertain - they didn't go into too much detail.

They did say that extra hospitality would come - but it's very likely to be elsewhere in the stadium (East Stand).

How can you lower a sky bar?

 

[Nethermoor]

Are they moving away fans or keeping them where they are?

Could family stand not be moved to SS2 if Away fans are moved from SS

Having only seen the 2D sketch we can't tell whether those Sky bar windows are flush with the wall at the back of the tier. The windows could easilly be set back with a viewing platform and seats on top of that back wall.

sky stands for high bar prices not actual height :)

Can't see the roof being any lower than the other 3 sides so making the bar lowerwouldn't make any difference apart from cutting the number of extra seats.
