North Stand Construction Discussion

That tunnel is going to get pretty congested on match days, it was bad enough before the North stand construction.

I'm not sure the two of you are talking about the same bit. It isn't really a tunnel as such.

Yea, so not really a tunnel.

I'm not sure the post was talking about the same part though.

The two links to the stand from the hotel and commercial block are already at “pinch points” so having a “roof” is surely irrelevant because the width of the passage is already defined if I’m not missing something ??

No problem, you do plenty for us on here and I am grateful for the updates. It will be interesting to see what will have changed this week next time you get the drone in the air.

Ss skies is due another drone update anytime soon.

Yeah, one of his drone vlogs was almost too dark to film. He still got good footage though and the stadium looked great fom above all lit up.

I'm talking about the perimeter around the outside of the North stand, it was chokka behind the stage with fans trying to walk through in opposite directions before and after the game and when they build the tunnel it's going to be a nightmare.

That perimeter pathway isn't changing. The hotel and office are beyond the outer edge of it. The rooms that link the hotel are above the circle path.

If there is any reduction in the space there, it is the stand itself. But in fairness, there isn't really any way to extend the north stand without taking up the additional space.
