North Stand Construction Discussion

LCCC has been cashing in on utd fand for decades, right near the busiest tram stop.
The hotels have restaurants and often season tickets owned by them, I have been in for a meal pre and post match with a supplier 24 years ago, and other bars are open to anyone just like the one near Reading FC.
There are even places like the Red Cinema, which they don't own right on their doorstep all cashing in.
My initial post was tongue in cheek and a piss take about Lou Macari’s chippy and the Bishops Blaize being the only places to eat and drink close to OT. As you say, there are plenty of takeaways, chip shops, pubs, and hotels within walking distance of OT, as well as a KFC, M&S, Tescos, etc.
Can’t remember the season. I had a few pints at LCCC before the derby. We had no mither, but we kept quiet.

They're just being childish.Is it possible to get this comment translated into English.
From looking at the plans and the placement of those eyelets, they’re nothing to do with the cable-net. They are most likely the connection point for the new roof beams. If you look at the curve of the new roof, it perfectly matches up with the eyelet locations.
Think you could well be right.
When it appeared on its own, it looked coincidentally close to the cables. In context of all 3, yea I can say that.
I did say 'one to watch' ;)
It’s not exactly what it says, but okay…. I was clarifying for those that thought the cable-net would be secured to the eyelets that they are there for the roof beams.
I imagine the cables will stay at pretty much the same angle as they are now.
Think so. Think you are spot on about the roof beams, the curve would back that.
A part of me still thinks that middle top beam and back one it connects to will play some part in the transfer. Not the eyelet itself, if that's purely for the roof beam, but the fact it has such a beefed up connection compared to the other two. But then, the other two have a column straight down to ground, the middle one has two either side of the junction (to straddle the existing pier) so maybe the strong connection is to counter that. Let’s keep watching.
If you look two floors below that, you can also see the connection for the third diagonal for the terrace supports, that will come once the pier is out the way. Incidentally, do you think they will weld the quadpod piers onto the connections now in place? Not seeing much in terms of boltholes etc.
The back two supports for the quadpods will be a while away, as they are part of the bay back, that hasn't even started yet, and can't till the back cables are removed.

Hence the north stand development. City Square was great and did keep fans back after games. It was a victim of its own success though and the weather on occasion. More fans will stay back if there’s things to do.Actually it's quite refreshing for a guy who runs a football club to admit that fans leaving early because traffic and public transport is rubbish.
It would be good if City admitted the truth that transport to and from the Ethihad is a pile of pooh. It can only improve if you admit there's a problem.
