North Stand Construction Discussion

[Coatigan]

These are old versions from what I priced from for the RC frame, I'm sure they have been updated several times...just gives a general idea what is happening

Yeah these are the approved ones, no further amendment, not to those levels, that I can see.

To answer Alty's original point, L4 that gets some view is full VIP. On L5 both sides are back of house, but then, the grey riser in the middle is where the cables come in and the views suffer, hence it is toilets and kitchen.

I would avoid the use of the word 'sky' in any of our naming conventions - don't want that association with City - might as well have a Talk Shite Bar!

Co-op arena has a VIP area called Sky Bar sponsored by Sky so it could easily happen ‍

Wait till you see the floor above!

Joking aside, that's where the roof cables come into, the anchor point is in the middle. No real view there, particularly above.

 

[simdog]

yeah not much view or headroom in that room!

Thanks @simdog and @Coatigan for the explanations. I can't work out if its genius engineering to design (and build) the extended north stand around the existing cablenet/support cables or whether it would have been better to remove the east and west stand roofs to allow for the complete removal of the cablenet and then a more straightforward design of the north stand. Granted it would mean no roof for a year or two whilst the east and west stands get extended but it hardly rains in Manchester so not really a problem ;-)

Its genius engineering IMHO to be able to extend the stands when there was no provision to do so in the original design and with very little interruption Replacing the other roofs will be far more complicated and I doubt we will see it in the near future if at all

Rooms only show a double bed, but 5 seats on the balcony area ?
Maybe they are bunk beds !

I don’t really care about the hotel or the luxury suites, I would never be able to afford it anyway

People can have guests for the match. Plus, they won't always be used as bedrooms, they are convertible out to rooms boxes for match days.
