North Stand Construction Discussion

Is the stand (seats in the expanded section) supposed to be ready for the next home game? or second half of season?

Next home game :o

looking like the last few home games of the season - suspect that will drop to possibly 'the VERY LAST home game of the season'

See from SS Skies Video that the section numbers haven't been updated yet on the pitch side,
hoping they are done on the concourse side and also the new row numbers,
or there will be a few confused tourists haha

The row numbers and blocks numbers were done at the tunnel club so would presume that it’s in the process of being done stadium wide

Front walls for the food & beverage outlets for city square

The South stand has the sun in the southern sky (on sunny days) so the large translucent panels allow the sun to get onto the pitch. The North Stand doesn’t ever have the sun behind it so only needs sufficient translucent panels for when the sun is overhead.

Does it even matter anymore with the ground level lights that are used to help the grass

Do you know for definite that the brickies have been taken off the job or are you just surmising they have as you haven't seen them back onsite for a while?

No inside info at all, just noted in one of the recent videos the brickwork has not progressed for a couple of weeks. Probably just a coincidence, I'm sure Sisk will not sign off any sub optimal brickwork...

Sunny days? In Manchester?

Think they are supports for the “skywalk” walkway

Was the supposedly wonky support (that seemed to be put on the wrong way around) ever corrected or was it actually as it should be?

Who is responsible for the banners around the inside of the bowl?? I take it supporters will tidy/tighten them up on Saturday?? The one in the “Managers corner” needs sorting out too!!

Anyone know if either drone guy is going down there today? Getting giddy for Saturday already!

With all due respect the one in managers corner is only visible to the ones in there :-(

That suggests that access to city hall will only be available to those in the North Stand as states you go in via turnstiles first? So those of us on different levels or whose access is cut off by away fans or tunnel club won't be able to use it? Anyone know if that's correct?

I not certain but I think it will be access to all in City square there are doors between the square and hall which could be opened during the match I think turnstiles to access the stand are on the side there maybe one from the hall as well

Your little close up with the south stand cp overview does give us a great look at the north stand :-)
