North Stand Construction Discussion

Colin Bell side.

Are we rebuilding the Gene Kelly stand

@jrb Those stills from the drone screen grabs are truly impressive. Plans do not show the scale of the development. It is massive, looking like a a unique concept that I've never seen before in a stadium, especially when linked to Co-op Live. Maybe more thought has been given than we give credit? If so, we can only hope the same consideration extends to the fans experience and atmosphere in the ground.

Yes, I've been looking at the plans and locating the stair and lift wells and matching them up to the concrete cores going up, it really does show just how big a project it is.

 

[Keeper!]

Are you from Stockport?

That's a view that would be good to revisit periodically imo, if possible.

Even at ground level and next to the construction site you don’t get the full scale and height of the new stand. Only when you see it from above via a drone video do you see how big and how far set back the new North stand is going to be compared to the current North stand. It’s going to be an absolute monster internally and externally.

It looks like a gamechanger revenue generator not dependant on matchdays or stadium events.

Obligatory screen grabs from the SS Skies drone video.

Re our last time on coatings, you can indeed see that the grey second coating has the basic red below it, where the junctions are.
