is there a date for completion ? i thought it was this summer but clearly never going to happen.
North Stand Construction Discussion
- Thread starter awest
- Start date
-Nov '25 for the stand iteself (the stand only) - the club have formally mentioned end of the year - there are suggestions that informally internally the club and contractor are targetting August, without publicly stating it.
- Early Summer '26 - the hotel
- Late Summer '26 - the public square.
The museum/retail/office building was initially meant to be not far behind the stand with completion, but likely to coincide more with the hotel the way it is going.
None of that is final or an official commitment, just what has appeared in public previously.

A couple of shots from me in and around yesterday's game
From level 2 of spiral - side of stand and hotel
Usual view from 201 - concrete part of terracing close to completion

More detail in the earlier response above, but for total ease, in simple terms as an easy to remember rule of thumb (for everyone asking a similar question).
- end of this year for the stand
- end of next year for everything else.
Be interesting to see when the club come out with information about (half) season tickets based on the timeline above. If they try and sell them in the summer for January onwards or hold off until Summer 2026 and just sell match by match initially.
Thought the same at various times.
8000 extra seats is a lot to try sell individually match by match, for 6 months running. I imagine nobody would want that job, and some sort of half season block sale would be preferable. Time will tell.
There is a plate behind that was cast in flush to the column face, these had various Stubs behind within the column with Rebar wrapped around (must be designed for quite a large pull out force.) The stubs have been bolted on afterwards with tapped holes from what I saw over the weekend, the plates are 50mm Thick

Fook - so plenty big enough for the 17,000 million inch TV's going up there then! ;-)
An interesting read.

Sorry I'm sure it's mentioned already, but are the South Stand corners getting screens?

I’m trying get my head around how they’ll prop the beams. If you look in the compound pic there are what seem to be yellow gantries? Maybe these are what will be attached to the connectors being welded to the roof?? It still doesn’t explain how they’ll get above the height of the current cables? In other words…. I don’t know [emoji23]
Added thought: If those are gantries then they could be what is going on the roof. Scissor lifts could then be used to access the beams and attach the cables. I assume the beams will be propped as per the South Stand, with supports coming from the new terracing area.
Damn… I think I called that one (sort of) [emoji23][emoji106]

There will be no more drone uploads from me until further notice im afraid.
My Google account was hacked yesterday which means as it stands at the moment i have no access to my youtube channel as im totally locked out
I will still be filming but have no way to upload them until i get my channel back and even that isn't guaranteed.
If there are any cyber experts on here that can help i would be grateful as contacting google/youtube is all ai so nearly impossible to get the right help
