North Stand Construction Discussion

Probably January, my guess. Finished in December, teething out the way and used proper in the new year.
We play Chelsea and Brighton the Wednesday after both at home early January, it would be nice to have it up and running for those games.

If not Wolves at home towards the end of the month but you'd imagine they would be aiming for the Chelsea game for the opening.

It would also be a bit of a coincidence as the opening of the new South Stand was against Chelsea.

There’s also potentially a home FA Cup game on 10 January, so a run of possibly three home games and the extra revenue that would bring is quite the incentive to have the stand finished by the end of the year.

Presumably there would need to be a test event, like they did with the South Stand, which I suppose could be a bit more difficult to organise around the Christmas period.
 
This time next week I think the North stand's old roof will be gone.

If we are adding 7,910 seats to the pre-existing 2nd tier, then the single 2nd tier must hold more than 7,910.

Yes sorry mate, too many numbers in my head. I used the net total rather than including the existing 2nd tier numbers on top.
 
What final timeframe are we now looking at for this to be completed and ready for a game ..
I saw in some SISK documents that they were talking about a December finish for the stand but might City open transitionally i.e., add blocks of additional seating when the seats and the supporting concourse are ready? Liverpool opened sections of their stand before construction was complete.
 
If you really want to get to 62k, assume the hotel bedrooms which will be used as suites that look onto the pitch will be full on match days.
Are those “hospitality” seats not already included in the revised capacity ?
