North Stand Construction Discussion

[mcfcblue20]

I think by the time this stand open we will all have a degree in construction engineering ;-)

Fucking hell we moan about the team, the directors, Pep, the kits, the pies, the beer, the chips, the prices, the ticket allocations, the shop, the badge, the metro, and now the fucking tv screens lol

Some of it in here today is also from those who don’t even know what they’re talking about.

Some of it’s completely imaginary - we’ve people moaning about the shape/size of a new screen that isn’t even up and has never been seen…!

 

[Lost for words]

Are rail seats planned for the new stand?

Aren’t video screens all roughly the same shape inside stadiums, albeit different sizes?

Yes, 3000, initially. If they sell out the club said they could/would install more, if there is higher demand.

No, the ones at klanfield and the swamp are round, and covered with invisible film.

It's not known as BlueMoan for nothing, you know?


You forgot getting out of the car parks, by the way.

I probably forgot a couple of hundred things. Another thing to moan about is posters who can’t remember what other posters moan about

Is it not just the angle of the image taken from the drone? Challenge for @ssskies and @cpoverview - see if you can get a shot of the whole roof with your drone exactly parallel to the pitch showing the purlin between beams 6 and 7 being perfectly horizontal (or not).

Looks well smarter with the OG corners in tact.

I agree - it makes the south stand corners look even more of a dogs dinner

And the trams

Wonder if they expand the east or west they could fix the corners to match the north ?

Are these shots from your video from this morning SS?

The stand is looking great, the hotel and commercial buildings will probably look great when finished. So many moaners on this thread who seem to think they are experts.

Will be glad to finally have a screen I can see.

Will be interesting which end is used for concerts in the future, as would make sense to keep crowds in the new stand, plus the connection to the covered entrance area etc, therefore moving the stage to the SS. I thought the reason for the two current screens was to avoid artists needing to provide their own, so not sure how just one would work. But I'm not an architect, so I'm sure it's all been thought through and can't wait to see it again in August

They've never looked right to my eyes....



They just look wrong; they don't continue the line of the east and west stands.

 

[chiswick blue]

Need new east and west stands now

 

[chiswick blue]

without all the construction work we’ll be forced to think about the footy again

Not sure jrb, looked through mine, they could be from a different day or screen grabbed from CP. It's got to be one of ours. When was it dated. Cheers
