North Stand Construction Discussion

Aled Jones once sang to me.

We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I’m more worried about the lift not happening on Monday after I’ve told everyone it is happening on Monday. :-/

My whole YouTube career started with a similar story. 3 well known YouTube droners sat at Anfield one day waiting for a big lift to happen and in the end admitted defeat and went home.
I turned up at 6.30am the following day just as they started the lift and I went from getting a few hundred views of a video to 30k views overnight.

Hopefully I won’t have wasted your day?

I tend to find it’s pot luck. I’ve turned up outside construction sites across the city centre as cranes sections have bern delivered, cranes have been erected, construction workers and diggers are finally on-site, cladding, bricks, windows have gone on to buildings, etc, and I’ve been able to take pictures of it happening. The next milestone for me on the North stand expansion will be when the first section/s of cladding, fins/sails or windows are installed on the hotel.

There isn’t any evidence GMP would oppose moving the away fans from SSL3 to Blocks 111 and 110, due to access issues to the coach park.

As I’ve already shown with my pictures a few weeks back, away fans can be moved to blocks 111 and 110 as they would still have direct access to the away coach park, just like the away fans do in SSL1.

I’m trying to think of another PL away end that has direct access to a coach park for away fans. I can’t think of one. In fact, there aren’t that many away ends across English football that do, if any?

Forest, West Ham in the Premier and I am just winding down in the pub after a great day at Wembley well done Mr Harwood Bellis.
Thought I’d peruse Bluemoon and stick Swansea, Millwall, Leeds, Hull,Cardiff off the top of my head without trying and I’ve had a sherbet or two.

Think the 'quadpod' roof support structures will be a significant one too. Not sure many fully appreciate the top most height of them yet.

Are the coach parks directly behind the away end and fenced off?

The coach I normally go on to away games hardly ever stops inside a fenced off coach park directly behind the away end at away grounds.

Fire away.

Millwall, Leeds and Cardiff is understandable. I’ve never been to Swansea. Been to West Ham, the Olympic stadium, but our coach dropped us off away from the ground. Fulham, Chelsea, Spurs are a joke. Walking through 1000’s of home fans, down street after street, to eventually find the away coaches. The away fans don’t realise how lucky they are to have a fenced off coach park right outside the away end at the Etihad.

The segregation/H&S of all fans will be enhanced by shifting the away fans down to ESL1/SSL1.
1) No missiles launched by SSL3 away fans on to City fans below, additionally....
2) A reduction in segregation/safety zones in ESL1/SSL1 will actually increase the stadium capacity by X 100s....more revenue.

3) City fans only in SSL2 could increase footfall in Legends Lounge...more revenue.

4) Two dedicated home ends will improve the overall atmosphere, improving the matchday experience, improve the feelgood factor/ambiance/positivity around the club for the benefit of sponsors and fans...more revenue...furthermore

5) A 'PermaTemp' marquee/ beer hall, along with catering wagons, in the coach park 'triangle'
could increase revenue.

The case for moving the away fans is compelling, cost effective,(potentially) revenue generating,and can be presented to to authorities as safety enhancing.

It now requires wider exposure and pushing by all fan groups.

Please stop it, the NFL where hotdogs and cheerleaders are more important than the game?
