North Stand Construction Discussion

Lovely as it is (and its a good one) its problem is that it is a 1kg drone - as mine is (its an old Parrot Bebop2), I'm going to get a DJI Mini variant which is under the 250g weight limit to reduce the chance of any issues.

That’s what I use. I have a DJI Mini 3 Pro and it’s a good bit bit of kit. There’s a Mini 4 Pro now.

Until confrontation responds. He did some second hand car dealer in Brum earlier in the year. Some heavies went for him and he fucking shit his pants. Ended up running into a train track. He also didn something with the search for Nicola Bulley and the papers outed him for it.

I’ll give him this though, he got some cracking footage of the stadium there.
 
Theres a large elevated flat area outside the first floor of the hotel, for some reason I never noticed. What is that going to be, like a large balcony or something.

The 4 is getting good reviews. But there seems to be some hardware error/issues with it.

In the plans I seem to recall it being called the wanking platform. Article 6-1 of said plans said ‘a place where Blues can just stand there and wank away as they stare at
The Etihad’

I bet the Spurs stadium doesn’t have that.

They are outdoor terraces above the larger F&b areas below. That whole floor is the hotel's own brakfast and doning areas, and back of house at the rear end. THe spaces below are non hotel general bars and restaurants.

The part away from the stadium will be open to the public, the smaller part closer to the stand is for the staff to have an outdoor break area.

I assume it is just the roof of the reception area

The reception area starts at this level, it is not on the ground floor. There is just an entrance to a lift and stairs, the hotel effectively starts at the level above.

Surely there will be a proper CGI or video presentation being done showing the new stand and fan zone development?

I doubt it, but you never know. The longer it gets into the build, the less likely that will happen. For all we know there might be flythrough video that the club hasn't made public yet. The best flythrough(around) video to date is the VU.CITY one, which has already been posted. I'll post it again just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet?

Hadnt seen that so thanks mate. They done one for the south stand though so it would gain public interest showing it off as well as to the fans?

Massive(Rag!) or not, it shows there’s more interest in the North stand construction than there is in the Anfield Road expansion, albeit finishing it off, and Everton’s new stadium.

Just as importantly, because of CP Overview and other drone Youtubers, City fans all over the world can see the construction of the North stand on a regular basis.

It’s a shame that the club isn’t more proactive in showing the construction of the North stand to City fans on the OS.

The last update was on the 6th of August, which focused on the new hoardings around the construction site.
