North Stand Construction Discussion

Even the Doessers from Fragle Rock couldn’t do a better job. Everyone is busy busy bang bang going off that ground view vid. :-)
 
When this build is done, what next? It won’t be the same round here. We need another project!
Seeing the proposed Newcastle stadium, the Circus Tent idea in Trafford, Barca’s rebuild of the Camp Nou, not to mention Real Madrid and Atletico’s new stadium, it’s mad that we’ll have a 61000 capacity stadium without one single corner at the top being complete. You can’t imagine seeing any of the stadia I just mentioned having big gaps in each of their four corners could you? I know I’m being an ungrateful fucker and that I should be thankful that our owners arrived in the first place let alone turned us into what we have become AND they are investing into the stadium. I am truly thankful, believe me. I love the Sheikh - we all do. I love our stadium too. I’m loving the new North Stand. I’m loving everything about the place.
We simply HAVE to complete the sides and join up the corners, as originally planned. Don’t we? It will give us a feeling of continuity of progress. To keep investing is to keep keeping your eye on the prize. It would cost another 1bn quid but fuck it. Inter Milan can pull in 73000 fans and so could we. We owe it to the likes of Aguero, Zabaleta and Kompany who came to the club believing in a vision. We can build it to match that vision and create truly jaw-dropping arena fit for the world’s greatest fans and the future gladiators in the pale blue and white of God’s own football team.

Plus it’ll keep this thread going! :-)

Just heard you are going to New York, after filming Yankee stadium and what not, maybe for us City folk head to Willets Point in Queens for our sister club's NYCFC Stadium site?

If I get the permit I will do as many as I can. $150 for a permit and no refund if they refuse it
 
Great video! The shape of the roof is now clear. I think the sail is a prototype. If it was permanent they would have installed more by now. Most of the rest of the external work on the hotel is done
 
Talking to a lad yesterday who’s working on the stadium roof. He said the steelwork’s 2/3 months behind so it’s going to be a big rush to get it done for the start of next season. They’ll just have to chuck a load of men at it.
Safety nets are starting to go up so the roof should start going on shortly.
He was talking me through dropping the old roof, it was interesting.
