North Stand Construction Discussion

[WARBABY]

Years I think, much of the equipment is leased and you have to find a long enough slot in order to book it in. It's really, really not as simple as saying "Hey! Fans aren't allowed in, lets build a £100m (or whatever) stand while it's empty".

A Plant will always get you a machine at short notice

If a stadium is ever full, it’s too small

Try telling that to our resident restaurant critic, @GaudinoMotors

Only for a few weeks though wasn't it? Thought they were given permission to carry out infrastructure & building works?

Only for emergency but not for new builds !

97% of construction sites were back running by the end of may. Scotland was different though

It was clarified on 11th May that sites could continue see below link.

From a fan derby day video posted by Tricky Trev.

That with an expanded North Stand.

The development will happen when the club are ready. We the fans have zero influence on it.

Yea the Club will decide. That said ,the decision will be influenced by the data (number of memberships, average actual attendences etc) and the costs. For example, the cost of construction (from the steel to missing concert revenue etc) Vs income to be generated and maybe the kudos from holding European finals.

It’s great having serious business people running the Clun.

Couldn't build it during covid as no contractors would have been allowed on site ! All buildings projects were stopped during covid !

The construction industry never stopped during covid.

Selling out against Copenhagen only confirms what we already know, that the North Stand expansion is going to happen. We know the main part of the construction will commence after the Coop Arena is complete.
