North Stand Construction Discussion

[DiscoSteve]

Access will be from the museum as part (extra) of the stadium tour via the link from the commercial building to the stand

For those who haven't see the DAS that is shown as


And these schematics give an idea of the view at various points (and shows that under roof part of the walk seen on ssskies/cpoverviews videos) and showing the 3rd and 4th screens (again)

 

[Centurions]

There is also mention of an option to climb the NW core and to abseil back down after the walk.

 

[dadnlad]

zip line down would move punters along quicker

 

[jrb]

Good info Steve and Centurions.

 

[Monkchester]

Its the final finish

Can’t be the final design - that would be the 115 !

Aha hadn't clocked what 'controlled descent' meant! ;-)

 

[Banano]

Log flume?

 

[Coatigan]

The club badge is on this design so is it staying now?

No, this was from before they removed it and amended the approval.

Anyone know if this is the final finish for this bit or there something overlaying it? Took a walk around on Sunday. I think it could be so much better if this is to be the final finish. There's no texture or detail. It looks like an after thought (No Shit Sherlock) but the materials used to blend the south stand to the original structure are much cleaner and seamless.

I don't mind the abruptness of the stand coming out, just the blending of old to new.

I should really be patient and wait for the finished product, but can anyone elaborate?

Yeah can’t say I’m a huge fan of that finish either. Looks a bit bland and cheap (which maybe it is).

Don't get me wrong I'l be first in line for the experience, in case anyone is not sure how its going to work and where you'll get to walk, here are a couple of pages from the planning app Design and Access Statement specifically about the Roof Top Walk - see the pink path on the roof below

Access starts at the ground level in the NW corner and there will be a lift straight up to the top at L04 where the exterior route starts (at 1 above)

View attachment 172190
The bit down the side (at 2, photographed by JRB above) with its alternate route back UNDER the roof of the stand seems to be an alternative , I guess that will become clear in time.

You can walk across it? High up? Why? (I get vertigo walking up the stairs!)

 

[Centurions]

Yep, that's what this odd little extension to nowhere is for although I can't see a reason for the doubled up small platform at the end.



Edit: whoops, forgot to add the pic.

Looking at that diagram it looks like my question is answered. The protruding part of the roof indeed is a part of the sky walk after all.

"Care has been given to the side elevations to ensure that the transition from the original structure to the new expansion does not visually clash...."

OK then.....

Abseil platform

 

[Centurions]

Abseil platform

Yes, that I knew but why a double level platform?

How much is this going cost for a punt around the roof?

 

[Centurions]

How much is this going cost for a punt around the roof?

Spurs charge anything between £25 for 12 year olds to £60 for adults depending on time & day. Nobody can tell you what ours will be.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

£115

Frankly my dears, I don’t give a damn about the roof walk, but if it raises funds, fair enough

Not for me either, I’ve seen the drone footage from up there, nothing to see as far as I’ve seen.
