North Stand Construction Discussion

[levets]

He isn’t right about the tourists, the stand and hotel being at the same end is irrelevant.

Exactly, they couldn’t build the hotel anywhere else

The right side.

A new section of steel frame is being added on to the side of the existing central section of the stand.

New section of steel frame.

DJI Mavic 3 pro, at £3k it is the best you can get without moving up a class and then they are £10k ish. The zoom on it is ridiculous compared to most drones so has been well worth the money.

I first started flying a drone about 10 years ago, bought a couple of cheap ones to get the hang of flying them. When I was competent I bought an XK Detect X380 which cost me about £500. It wasn't DJI quality but good for the money. I attached a Go pro camera and got some good footage, especially over the river Ebro Valley in Spain. Being an angler I wanted to take some videos from above of my mate playing a big catfish. One morning myself 2 mates and fishing guide set off up river on a lovely sunny morning.

When we got to the first fishing spot of the day I set up the drone and calibrated it, then I set it on hover for a minute or so to see how it behaved. All seemed fine so I sent it up in the air and it malfunctioned by flying AWOL across the river before hitting the water and sinking. My mates and guide thought it was hilarious but I wasnt amused, especially as I'd lost my SD card with some excellent footage on. I had the drone at the front of the boat when we set off and I think the spray from the water shorted out the motors causing it to malfunction.

I bought another drone of same model but that didn't last long when I crashed it into a tree. That was the end for me as it was too expensive to keep buying drones I didn't have much luck with...

The steel extension to the right of the twin tower was done pretty quick and got me wondering if we did extend the full length of the stands along the pitch how long would it take. I know naysayers keep saying it won’t happen for years but why not?. Pretty sure Khaldoon would like a stadium that trumps all others in the pl.

Real we’re quoted as saying it was the fiercest ‘trap’ they had ever encountered.

I've past posted about viewing the Plans/CGIs of the E & W stands expanded up and out to enclose. the spirals.

It would take capacity up to circa 78000.

The UAE have a philosophy of 'build it and they will come'.

They are currently building a Vegas style resort CASINO on a man made island off the coat of RAK.

I meant more the underlying point relative to the stadium. But reading back I think it is that the development including the hotel is an MCFC asset rather than whata CFG one?

Yep. Another info failure by the club. Why don’t they and CFG tell us who owns what? Lots of Blues think we’re involved in the Co-op, but that’s CFG @ 25%.

I had forgotten it was in Marca. Unlike them to praise us, usually they just try to unsettle any of our players Real want.

You can see small piling rigs under both towers now. And with the steel to the right side popping up, the same will follow on the left. Removing the backstays and masts has unlocked a lot and you suddenly see much more overlapping activity in all parts of it.
