North Stand Construction Discussion

Its kind of like the distressed jeans look i.e. it took a huge amount of effort to make it look shit (randomly offsetting the bricks)

I always wondered why people would rip good looking jeans on purpose, especially large rips around the knee areas.

One man’s random is another’s (architects) design statement ;-)

Oasis set to land their dream of playing at the home of Manchester City

Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are being lined up to perform next year at Manchester City's home The Etihad Stadium, which will mark the return of live music shows there

I wonder which end they will setup on, it used be the north stand because of the tunnel and access is easy, but if they switched to the south you could have the full North Stand doing the Poznan, that would certainly test it and would look brilliant.

I’m sure I’ll get absolutely slaughtered for posting this, as it has nothing to do with the North stand construction thread, and adding a link to the United website. Rag, jrb!

One of the largest safe standing areas in the Premier League will officially open at Old Trafford for the visit of Everton on Monday.

A total of 6,000 additional rail seats have been installed in the second tier of the Stretford End since September.

Fans with season tickets in the second tier of the Stretford End were surveyed before work began and this demonstrated strong support for safe standing in the section

Old Trafford's safe standing work is complete

I was surprised only half of the North Stand extension was devoted to safe standing.

Think those 2 small platforms either side of city square at the rear will be access points for maintenance of the ETFE roof ??

Seems to be a walkway over the top of it. Not 100% sure of its use though.

I'm sorry but I think it looks bloody awful on the outside. Looks like someone had some spare lego bricks left after they build their football ground and added a couple of square blocks on the end. Absolutely no design or flow to it.
