North Stand Construction Discussion

[Centurions]

Does anyone know what materials will be used at each end to enclose the ends of the stand?

Actually, do you mean at either end of the seats? It's partially glazed at the top, not sure of what it is below that.

It'll just be metal sheets with a translucent plastic at the top to let some light in and keep the design in line with the other stands - more detailed terms in the image above.

Feels like a lifetime ago I posted this, when there was very little to see on site, and the stand was roughly between steps 2 and 3 of the above.

We are finally at 'step 10'.

That’s such a great graphic. Thank you.

I noticed on CPs video that they were putting the end frame on to connect the 2 roof's

Looks like the kippax with the gene Kelly stand under the score board. ;-)

Goodby Big Green crane.
THE remaining cranes outside are Martin, Frasier and Nialls. Looks like Sisk will meet the deadline for the groundsmen to get the pitch ready for next season.

Surprised the workmen haven't been issued with catapults and 50mm ball bearings. With a 100% weekly bonus if they shoot down a drone!

Hope they don't, it would land them in big trouble with armed police bringing down an aircraft.

It's going to be a ballache getting out from the top of the 2nd tier.

Anyone moving to NSL2 best find out what rows are close to the exits first

It's such a shame a proper safe standing and singing section won't be directly above exit 4 in the middle of the stand.

Have drones the same legal status as an aircraft? I'm assuming that, given your reply, they do. Which kind of surprises me.

CP and SSS are either of you going down on Friday morning? I'm planning to do the tour on Friday, but I need to know in advance if the pitch has been totally cleared.

 

[Blue warrior]

When are the seats likely to start being installed?

If fan groups like 1894 put enough pressure on the club to convince them to at least double the current 3k safe standing, maybe there will. It's a shame when club aren't being more proactive about making NSL2 the home end, again it'll be up to us fans to take matters into our own hands.

The club have stated, if the 3K safe standing seats sell out, they will add more safe standing seats.

The issue is, the club won't know what the demand is for the safe standing seats unless the safe standing seats go on sale before the safe standing and normal seats are installed.

If the safe standing and normal seats are installed first before they go on sale, the club won't take the normal seats out again to install more safe standing seats.

This is one to watch, and to see how honest the club really are about adding additional safe standing seats above the 3000 safe standing seats announced by the club.

I would expect the next big lifts are going to be for the SkyWalk with a pre assembled sections, suspension bridge which runs between the platforms and east and west connections from the platforms to the lower section?

I noticed on Sunday that they'd made a start on the walkway just underneath the roof.
