North Stand Construction Discussion

[.db.]

This HAS to be done soon and the Etihad made into the best and biggest stadium in the country. Looking at Madrid as an example if we want to be the best then we have to have a statement stadium.

Would it make it that?

It would be good to see how many each of the tiers holds at the Etihad. SSL3 holds 7,000 (don’t know if that’s exactly 7k, it probably isn’t). Having what’s in SSL3 along CBL3 and ESL3 would probably be about 8,500 each as the sides are longer than an end.

But that’s only on top of what currently exists.
Way back when we first moved, I vaguely remember 5,000 being the figure of the size of CBL3 and ESL3… can anyone confirm? So you’d take that away from what the expansion would be. Which would be around 3,500 more each.

So that would make the eventual stadium hold around 69,000.

Long term modelling of the stadium should take out the current CBL3 and ESL3, and wrap SSL3 round to have three identical stands and then the North Stand as a standalone end.

Draft plans & CGIs do exist.

 

[Centurions]

didn't know that , guessing will start to see that soon maybe ?

That's from an artists impression that's been around for ages, there's no guarantee that that is what we're looking at and even less that it'll come to fruition. A definite wait and see.

SS3 is approx 5750. The work you are talking about would be an astronomical cost.

They aren’t doing a side expansion for 3,500 extra seats. It would have to be a minimum of what SSL3 added on top of the current capacity.

The plans I saw would take the capacity up to 85000 min. along with a significant increase in corporate/F&B .....13000+ on increased capacity .

Amongst the reasons this may make sense is that the potential expansion will be built largely within the footprint of the current stadium, and on land that club already owns.

Everton's new stadium under water

That’s weeks ago blocked storm drain

Extra >25k split across the two sides is almost doubling the capacity (when the NS is open) of each side, this would mean extensive works at a great cost

 

[Coatigan]

Thanks SS Skies, another great video. Looks as though they are fixing some yellow anchoring points into the open slots in the terracing.

It has been called ;)

How would the current infrastructure cope with 85k?

It is already a bloody nightmare leaving the stadium with the present capacity.

The tax payer can fund the improvement of the infrastructure around the ground.

Ask Jim, he knows how to get tax payers money. ;-)

It 'copes' with almost that number twixt a game and an event.

The rail infrastructure is currently under review by external consultants who are analysing 3 potential options on operational, infrastructure, usage and cost grounds.

Impossible to predict the outcome, but the opportunity's do exist.

It's looking great isn't it, even in the construction phase.

A little bit dated.

Wonder if these time lapses will ever be publicly released? It's a shame there's no live stream of the build like there was for the arena.

Site-Eye don't normally post or release the videos online to the public. I've seen a few of these signs over the years on different construction sites, mainly in the city centre, but I've never found the videos via an online link, bar their Youtube website. As the sign says, the videos are for management purposes only.(sadly)

Here's Site-Eye's Youtube website. Spurs new stadium is on it. Site-Eye would have got permission from the companies to post their videos in on their YouTube, Site-Eye website.

Re the holes for the supports in terracing. They were there all along. They double up on their use/position. Initially, that's where the temporary barriers were fixed. As the barriers came away as they moved up and down they left holes behind, a couple posters spotted them. I made a guess as below that they might re-use them, which is clever and efficient sequencing. There is more chat on it amongst other pages.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if they lined up the prop positions, so they attach to the very holes in the new terracing left open where the temporary barriers were fixed to.

 

[marco]

just been watching the latest video, just a question- is there no way they could have removed the safety barrier at the bottom of level two then tapered new terracing down to meet up a quarter of the way up from the front row on level one this making on complete stand with no levels
