North Stand Construction Discussion

Very interesting that it’s steel bars and not cables for this roofs support, was thinking would cables suffice but obviously not. Don’t know about others on here but when you see the roof beams in the lay down area they look super long till you see them in situ and they look a lot smaller. Suppose perspective does that.

Not sure on the difference between beams and cables

You know when you see that , it’s in the main the place that both Drone pilots ( excluding that idiot Mr drone) use and bearing in mind the size of the modern drones , you ( or I ) wonder how they keep them in sight?? :-)

It’s not that difficult, mine is just under 1kg so isn’t that small to see(ssskies has the same drone), an unwritten rule is that if it is less than 500m away then it’s considered to be in sight

Isn’t it the same for the rest of the cables around the stadium? They’re not actually ‘cables’ - it’s more a working term.

You can go and touch the ones that go into the ground in each corner. They’re exactly like the ones on the floor.

If you look closely right in the centre of picture4 you can see they’ve installed the first of the outer wall roof support pieces !

MCC today gave planning consent for the construction of what will be the tallest tower in Manchester close to Beetham Tower. It includes a hotel. I don't think it's known when construction will start. It will be the 3rd tallest building in the UK.

Bit too near the Metrolink line for my liking, they are already building one that overhangs the walkway to the car park that has a lift to take you down to the museum of industry.
