North Stand Construction Discussion

More work done on joining the roofs together.

Going on a stadium tour in about 2 weeks. They mentioned that the pitch would be essentially inaccessible due to the work being done. They did frame it as us getting a special experience since we'd be seeing progress on the new roof, lol. Hopefully we can still see some of the pitch/inside the stadium but oh well if not. We're doing the one with the CFA as well so should be a good time either way!

This guy is competing with Mr Drone for biggest knob. He only does videos once a month so doesn't have a clue what's going on (which to his credit he admits). Classic comment: "It looks like the pitch has been covered - there must have been some sort of concert on it".

Voice like a scouse Frank Sidebottom.

I just couldn’t listen to it, surely it’s a piss take?

I don't think CP and SS have to worry about competition or losing any viewers or subscribers to The Stadium.

Got a dislike from me - what a nob, can't even control his own drone, never mind his awful gob

if im not mistaken then north stand should be finished by the start of the season ?

I’m afraid you’re mistaken :-)

It's already been confirmed the club are doing test events in January to get the safety certificate so you're looking at February before it opens.

The hotel and fanzone open next summer

Interestingly it does not physically connect with the existing roof below so appears to be completely independent ??

that I believe is correct, same as South Stand - the higher roof is physically supported completely separately and independently from the original roof and its cablenet - one assumes there most be an element of flex in both sections so they physically cannot 'hard connect' - I'm sure a construction expert / real architect will come along and say definitively.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

It’s coming along nicely isn’t it?

 

[Irlamblue]

I love that stand

 

[gkmcfc]

It did work.

Season's greetings from the North Stand scoreboard

City's archive team have unearthed more rare finds...

I used to stand and sit in R Block, which was a very small block, at the very back of the North stand, right next to the away end. We had plenty of fun and games with the away fans up there.

Sat in S block for years. If that screen ever worked it was only ever used very sparingly!

Just off to the etihad in an hour, tried my first montage of the North stand from the back, got more photos on storage devices to go back further and will look at the front of the stand on the next one. Cheers

Nice.

Please try and get a shot on the west side of them closing the gap between the NS and Colin Bell Stand roofs.

I hope we get to hear pricing and relocation soon, if it's as cheap as SS3 then would definitely consider moving
