North Stand Construction Discussion

[Goatmeal]

Presume they just mean a new roof over North Stand same as opposite end

Sounded like by extending North stand and removing roof they could get extra seats in the main stand and Bell end.
Then put a new fully contoured roof on.
Would be good if it came down around the outside too and have it light up. Bit like Bayern

If and when the North Stand does get extended and a new roof added. What type of roof would we expect? Similar to Arsenal?

I can't see them leaving 2 parts of the original roof in place so yes, a new 3 part roof to blend in with the south stand. The E & W stand roofs would be higher with (perhaps) new corporate boxes above the existing seats.

Hey at least you could stand on them without it tipping up.

They stood up remarkably well to being jumped up and down on too.

I've never been convinced by the roof at T'Emirates. From some angles it looks great, but from others it looks like the roof was designed for another ground.

Think there is possible less problem with replacing the North Stand roof as originally this end of the ground was left open for the Comonwealth Games and may not rely on the cable net as much as the South Stand, no expert but it was built after the games finished!

The cable net was in at the games (just not used by the temporary structure at that end of the stadium). The present North stand is a mirror of the old South stand and presents the same engineering challenges.
