North Stand Construction Discussion

[WRicko]

Plans & CGIs exist for CB & ES to be extended upwards & outwards to enclose the spirals.

Capacity will rise to 78000.

But would they keep the spirals or at least the spikes in any capacity

I wouldn’t be surprised if in 20-25 years we built a new stadium on the north car park or Asda areas rather than do the sides.

Still a bit to finish on that for the full thing to come together.

First reaction though, changing the louvered panel to a perforated one is a big big upgrade. The horizontal panels are darker and look better than in the visuals. They look the same colour as the perforated, is that how they looked in person? Suppose worth waiting till the caps are on. The shiny metal I think is a backing plate for the brick faced precast to come. Surprised they are not including one of the side panels as the solid verticals, described as fritted in the last NMA. Good photos Jrb, should hopefully be fully assembled within the next couple of weeks.

I'm off work next week.

I'll let them finish the mock cladding off and I'll take some more pictures of it later next week.

It's a bit annoying that it's facing inwards towards the Etihad and not outwards.

Do you think the two main stands will get done one day ? Also saw an article on Facebook recently one of those silly publications. It was called AI of premier league grounds 100 years from. Basically everyone ground was a bowl with wrap. Which is I think what will happen to most one thing I thought tho was do you think we will be able to keep the spirals or at least the points in the air even if they become the inside of the ground and get wrapped I think that would be something different and cool but I cannot describe it or mock it up

Be great if they do with hotels and undercover fans area with shops bars

We need pictures of where the foundations stood for the old supports and for the piling areas under the towers.

You can see two separate small piling rigs under each tower in most of the recent photos.

There have been internal discussions re an 85000 seater, roofed stadium on the site of CFA.....the site (without the buildings) is huge.

The Etihad site would, along with the other sports facilities, become the CFA with everything else relocating to part of the Asda site closest to the Velodrome.

These discussions were several years ago and pre expansion,hotel etc so may know be shelved.

However, The Sheikhs ambition for City to be world class in EVERY respect knows no boundaries.

Don't rule anything out !!

Call me old fashioned if you like but.....

" upwards & outwards to enclose the spirals "

Discussions on the 'spikes' have stalled awaiting specialist technical input.

Here to help as always.

In think you are right.

Pretty sure in the USA most stadiums last 25 years then they upgrade. But at least we gave options to expand or new build. Unlike some.

Asda have no plans to sell and probably never will

If they extend East and West and a new roof is put on the cable net becomes redundant doesn't it? If so the 'spikes' can be removed

Yes but you could still use them in some way surely even if you expanded past them

Any chance you could post links or perhaps point us in the right direction.
Thanks.

Nothing has ever been available publicly regarding the side stands. There was an internal image as part of the original SS and NS expansion application, in the Design and Access statement, which showed the side stands expanded too but only the internal view and it was basically what they are now only slightly higher!

I wonder what the hospitality and hotel packages will cost in the North stand?
