North Stand Construction Discussion

[bluesmith]

Yes. The space in-between the hoardings is very tight leading to and from Joe Mercer Way and the Etihad tram stops. Unless it's managed properly it will end up being a large bottleneck.

They are trying to open up the side of the entry to southbound trams but, I still think it will be busy post match.

There’s going to be hardly any space between the tram entrance and the new entertainment area. Can’t wait to see it all open in a few years.

3 years seems an awful long build time?

I’m no expert but surely it can de done quicker than that?

Sly running two articles on stadium expansions & the future of football viewing via VR etc, it’s actually with Populous so you’d think we’d feature quite heavily or at least get a mention considering they’re involved with the NS & Co op live and other innovations…nah it seems Sly have airbrushed us

I read one of them (the other won't load, possibly because of the Ad blocker) and I can't say I saw any reference to any ground so the fact that we're not included isn't really a sleight is it?

Ermmm….that’s funny coz it mentions Wembley, the toilet, Craven cottage, Spurs stadium, DW stadium, F Greens new shed, Camp Nou, Anfield, Bernabeu, Everton’s, Anfield, and a raft of American stadia…put your bins on mate! It’s an article talking about new innovations, sustainability, future proofing, being community led, advancement of VR, all boxes our new projects tick, yet not a word about City, that’s not me being precious, it’s me understanding certain parts of the media like to airbrush us from the conversation

The stand is just under 2 years and the rest is up to 3 years.

These builds are more complicated due to people have access to the development on a near weekly basis.

All in line with what you would expect based on other similar construction works.

For the whole thing? 3 years is ambitious.

The stand itself will be less than that however.

That must be the one that won't open for me although annoyingly it seems I skipped some of the one I did read :(

Future of Football: Attendances on the rise... but how big could stadiums actually get?

What does the future hold for stadiums and fans in the stands? Have attendances topped out? Do fans help deliver success on the pitch?

Could definitely do with someone opening up another chippy. Tony's is always shut after the game. What's Fat Bob Taylor doing these days? View attachment 88431

Chinese would have it up in 3 weeks.

The North stand expansion will make a huge difference to the appearance of the Etihad stadium, even from a long way away.

The Alamy link doesn't work. It is disabled for some reason.

If you want to see more pictures of the Etihad, the Coop Live Arena, and the added bonus of the Manchester skyline, go to Alamy, put Manchester skyline into search, in sort by click 'newest' in the drop down list, and it will bring up the pictures by Bardhok Ndoji. You can preview the pictures, enlarge them, but they are watermarked. You can also buy unwatermarked pictures if you want. Prices are shown.

Getting there.

Give it another week or maybe two weeks and the souvenir store should be gone.

I wonder if they’ll just flatten the rubble into an uneven surface and sell tickets for an Istanbul Experience. Perhaps leave a few cables lying around and turn off the lights for night games.
