North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

The more this build progresses the more confused I am by the sample panel , the panel shows facework to both sides ?? I understand the bwk. Is only to the hotel ground floor but you can now see blockwork appearing ??

I don't remember seeing blockwork (probably there just didn't pay attention) but just in case people look at the ground floor gable of the hotel, those are large format taped insulation boards.

Hypothetical, but if they hadn’t built the hotel and retail buildings they could have designed the towers to be a landmark feature of the stadium similar to the old Wembley. Would have been a great visual approaching Etihad Towers from the bottom of Joe Mercer Way.

Can’t really complain with what we’re getting though!

I think that's what they are trying with the two claws and the gables, is it not?

Another full page article in The Times today regarding Utd’s proposed stadium. Hardly seen anything about our developments in the media from the day it was announced to where we are up to now.

Do we have a PR team ? Why aren’t journalists being invited to look around - show the world what is being built ??

They are not interested in what we are doing. They are desperate for City to go away. They will not be giving us any publicity.

Check SS skies Latest offering. On back side of hotel opposite the east tower

Definitely think the big screens will look good in their own way. Not just for the football either - imagine walking up Joe Mercer Way to watch a concert at Co-op Live and the screens are playing footage of the artist with their music coming from the City Square speakers. Will definitely draw people in who maybe didn’t know much about the area before.

@cpoverview any chance you could put a live stream of the construction for about 3 hours starting about 15:45, just seen the team news

We had an update on Sunday, I doubt if much real progress has been made

Uploading one now, not a great deal different, but it does answer how they are getting the new terracing through the cables

To be fair the Sunday update revealed significant progress - the stand and the hotel are progressing quickly and the admin/museum/shop will no doubt move quickly now that they are poring concrete to create the floors.

here you go, todays progress

Great video as always. Shame it had to end where it did after the switch to the mini drone as it looked liked a new piece of terracing was about to be lifted into place and the "platform" that was lifted on to the roof of the hotel was being taken down again.
