North Stand Construction Discussion

[JOGAMIGMOG]

These roof overhangs from the E and CB stands. Hmmm. I can’t believe we didn’t know about this issue pre-build. They obviously don’t think it’s too big a deal or it was logistically not possible to remove those purlins and extend the NS roof another 20 foot either side. It’s more disturbing than the wonky roof or shite pointing. I really hope we are seriously considering expanding the sides and replacing the cable net roof.

On the new CO Overview video it looks like the Safe Standing Rails are going in, 1m 43s ?

Perhaps it's me but isn't the roof no longer wonky?

Yep. I Think your right

With regards to the poor sight lines. That is literally the worst possible place to put the safe standing

 

[Alty_Blue]

Yep. I Think your right

Certainly looks straighter but could just be the camera angle

Just watched the latest video and they have deffo straightened it up

Here’s how inward the pitch is:

I'm thinking that it'll turn out to not be a problem at all.

What issue?

Cheaper seating?

Better, but far from perfect.

You say that, but unless they put mirrors in, fans won’t be able to see the pitch when they are doing the Poznan…

Impossible to make such a claim off that pic.

The sight lines might not be as bad as they appear
If you look at each end of the stand it actually kicks back in halfway up the new tier and if you look at the rail seating they have installed on the last block,it looks like there are 2 or 3 seats on the back row and about 5 on a row halfway down

Not good for my OCD , they seem to start a job leave it unfinished then return to it weeks later . The SW corner has a wooden building at the back which is being taken down , is it to build a bigger hospitality venue ?

I’m guessing you are correct

They call it stormy monday.
