North Stand Construction Discussion

[Stato]

Looks like it's took inspiration from the new Brum stadium with them towers. Fred Dibnah would be impressed.

Could do with him to fix the blue lights at the top of them as no one else will, only like 1 working now

Yeah but theirs will stink of Trafford piss. Ours won’t.

Our NSL2 seats will smell of Champagne, Caviar, and Oysters.

You can see the new and extra 6000 rail seats United have installed on the the 2nd tier of the Stretford End in these pictures. The lower tier has a capacity of 7500 retail seats, giving a total capacity of 13,500 rail seats in United’s home end. I’ve rounded up the

We’re at 3000 rail seats on the new 2nd tier of the new North stand capacity of 15,000-16,000. I can’t find the exact figures of the old and new North stand capacities. Figures differ.

Who cares what is happening at the swamp? Let’s not pollute this thread with the shite

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

Would that be cleaning access?

This is off the plans, I just rubbed out a load of other labels that weren’t important to me.

Maybe, that was Penders guess (or question maybe) but I don't see how they're getting to all of it just from there?

Surely we will be looking to do this in SSL3 too ? seems daft they never did it when they did the Away end in the third tier

For safety reasons alone, you’d think SSL3 would be all safe standing. One over exuberant fan loses his balance up there and a few hundred people could be avalanched down that tier. Don’t know how it’s never happened.

Haha, good point. That would be some telescopic pole that could extend that distance.

Totally agree I couldn't give 2 shits what's going on at their shithole.

You've got every right not to care.

It was only one post.

Maybe I should have posted it in the atmosphere thread instead?.

I do care.

Seeing 13,500 rail seats compared to our 3000 rail seats is very frustrating and disappointing to me.

I'm sure you don't feel like that about it, which is fair enough.

The etfe roof is on sturdy steel trusses that will ( I assume) be sufficient for foot traffic for cleaning and maintenance works so it’s likely it’s just a physical access point , so door openings to be formed ( as per the roof walk access)

Can you walk on them? I thought they were more akin to a blow up beach chair.

@jrb, you are spot on, it's Manchester City that is making the mistakes here

Sat in 135 in NS1 on my tour of the stands. Crap photo but took this from the stairwell

 

[jrb]

Are they new (temporary) seats under the scaffolding?

Has the scaffolding gone up higher?

Last night.

 

[DelToro]

Those 7000 extra seats will come in useful on Europa League nights.

I agree, who the hell do they think are going to fill them?
