North Stand Construction Discussion

Lovely shots of the Etihad and the North stand expansion at the end of today's match programme on TNT. Unfortunately my phone was charging, so no pictures.

If you're watching in the telly you're a c*nt!" ;-)
 
Watched todays game on TNT and they showed the new stand in a almost panoramic view. Looks impressive has it is. I wonder if fans of other clubs where watching and said WTF is that? We never knew that was going on at City.

Been keeping an eye out for this one, and it is formally in now, the application to discharge the materials condition.

From the club's and design team's own submission below.

Also some history documenting the back and forth and what say the planners had, and what they requested to change. There have been a few tweaks to the panel over the time it has been up.

Looks like the fixings are there to stay, with a view that they won't be visible from far enough.

Last, a bit about the introduction of the louvers (perforations) that we picked up on in the photos, now confirmed.

Still can't see any reasoning nor sense in not colour matching the frame edge to the sail sides, but not read every single thing yet.

Reference CDN/25/0269 for anyone wanting to see more.

Edit, worth pointing out the colour of the caps installed on site is actually different to the mock-up panel, it matches the horizontals rather than the mullions. Which then makes the choice to have the frame edge of the sails in dark grey, even more strange.

Took some photos yesterday but the files are too big to upload from my iPhone using Google as the web browser on it.

Any ideas?
