North Stand Construction Discussion

[nmc]

Come on now, to have a row about lifts on a football forum is just wrong on so many levels.

It’s escalating

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

With the co-op now built, probably won't be that many concerts.

Isn't it the case that arenas are quieter over the summer months because of festivals & stadium tours? I could be wrong but sure I read this somewhere.

Its not. SS3 added around 6k seats

Yep, 7,910 added for the north stand, 6,250 added to the south stand, They also added 1,500 around the pitch when the south stand was done but then subsequently removed.

Higher

You three are right by the looks of it.

The south stand approval included additional seats in the corners as well, and increases elsewhere eound the pitch, so the overall number is greater, 8k ish.

But the stand itself is 6250 - (6750 in the bbc article of the time), so the north stand is in reality bigger than the south stand.

The south stand added more than the north did, if they had replicated the 3 tier stand they would have got more in than the 2 tier arrangement. That I did remember from the application and previous discussions.

Whether that directly translates to more overall though (because more may have been retained in this way), I'd need to check.

Nope.

 

[Coatigan]

Nope.

Well yes, but just not all in the stand itself.

But I have since clarified that and assume you responded before reading it.

In simplest terms, north stand bigger than south stand. I had overcomplicated it.

wonder if City Hall will ever be used for live music, local boxing etc ? There’s even scope for outdoor events when you have a retractable roof, possibilities are endless

Retractable roof ????

I see, as was mentioned on here a while back that the tiers have been re-numbered. I have a ticket for the Burnley game, in the second tier, but it's designated as block 101. Yes; like the room!

Over the fanzone

As part of the opening event and fans being invited to have a look around the new North stand before if officially opens, Otis lift representatives will be on hand for anyone who has any questions about Otis lifts. ;-)

[Jesus H Gabz]

Genuinely thought it was :)

Do we know if Otis have definitely got the lift contract? I'm more of a Schindler man myself.

Given it's a (mostly) bowl stadium I guess it's moot anyway.

Was a pretty good film that, Schindler's Lifts.

Todays flight, stripping the pitch has finally started

Do you have a list

Only thing that spoilt it for me was that girl wearing a red coat ffs

It had its ups and downs

Same old storey, I'm afraid.

Wouldn't pit them against each other.
