North Stand Construction Discussion

Saw this angle of the south stand which shows why it might be difficult to have screens at that end. Those supports coming out at an angle would probably make it a difficult job.

Todays progress


I see the first columns in the hotel wing have started popping up. The right hand steel tower looks pretty much complete, the left not far off. The guy in the cherry picker working on the left one at 25-30m, nerves of steel, pardon the pun. Those things sway a fair bit, particularly at that height, with the tiniest bit of wind. Shouldn't be long till the first floor plate of the right hand half of the hotel starts. Still no sign of the facade mock-up, but I guess seeing how they technically breached that condition a couple of months ago, it now makes little difference when it goes up.

Let's hope the North stand expansion doesn't go a similar way.

The original cost/budget was £365mill

Co-Op Live opens as costs set to reach £450m​


Those issues have also led to the rising price tag for the arena, which initially was set to cost £365m. Now, Oak View Group chief executive Tim Leiweke has told the Manchester Evening News that the figure is £400m and likely to grow to £450m before all is said and done
 
Last game of the season, last home game too, last chance for photos on the way in by folk. If you get my drift..
 
For those of you that know more and care for the transport/queuing arrangements for the metrolink, there is an NMA in just now (139992/NMC/2024), that shows proposed temporary and permanent arrangements for corralling and queuing barriers etc.

Not putting any images on here as there is nothing of particular interest to me, but for those that that experience this or might be affected by it, thought I'd highlight it is there.
 
Hopefully not, when looking at screens and eating hot dogs become more important than what's going on the pitch, football will be done and dusted.

Stick American culture where the sun doesn't shine.
I'm afraid we will be playing league games over there soon. It's just a matter of time.
 
For all the roof and structure discussions. Don't say I'm not good to you, below a rough handy guide of how I understand this to be planned to happen.

1000 pages. :-)

How many more pages until the North stand is open?

Given we are only on 'step 3' of the '10' above (and that's just for the structure of the stand), I'm going to go and hazard a guess we will hit at least 7000.
