North Stand Construction Discussion

Surely they can just replace the original North Stand seats in the summer?

Not bothered about the colour of the seats as long as they're not red.

There was always going to be a slight difference in colour. The old seats have been weathered, as well as having people with fat arses sat on them. ;-)

As a lifelong (almost) City fan at the age of 71, I can’t believe people are moaning about the shade of the seats.

 

[spacecadet]

We, as a fanbase for my 60 years, traditionally moan about everything, and always have.

 

[Bluekiwi]

I always left mine outside the chippy

Was that to make a quick getaway without paying for the chips?

 

[jrb]

Few more, again apologies for pic quality. Looks much better now though with the hoardings coming out.

I hope you don’t my Pollocks OG?

I’ve cropped and lightened one of your pictures. Thanks for posting.

The fact that people can’t even comment on wanting a few things polished off without being accused of moaning is a joke to be honest, especially when you moan more than anyone in the thread whilst contributing nothing else.

Pretty sure you’re senile considering it was mentioned it wasn’t entirely serious as all. This is further evidenced in the instance when a few users (jokingly) called SSkies a rag for the delayed uploading of a video which promoted you to write a full written apology to him on behalf of the forum and lambast the users who said it.

I'm guessing a lot of the folk moaning about the seat colour never went to Maine road

Swales bought those dark blue seats second hand from Everton according to Bernard Halford.

Well they'll replace anywhere between 1000 and 2000 of them anyway, when they add the padding, depending on exactly how many are assiciated with City Hall.

I think people might also be taking it too seriously. Some of the moans are said with a lightheartedness.

Now those junctions on the other hand!...

How do they plan to stop people spreading into the new part of the stand now the hoarding is gone?

Do you mean the physical hoarding or the 39 year old kids, pretending to be 15??

They need to sort them bottom seats out as well imo as its about this spectacular new expansion and should all look shiny new and not just the expanded part!

They should focus on filling it first so no one can see the seats!

That as well mate ;-) Oh, and a big fuck off City logo in the stand as well!

They’ll install the last few rows then move the covers down over them probably.

I think that is what the netting is for and they will plonk a security guard at each of the steps

They'll presumably have to do that before the next home game on the 4th of April.

Would that really enough? It is not much of a barrier. And pulling the covers/netting closer to where people are sitting has its own risks. Would they not need something a bit more robust and 'permanent' put back up once the final row of seats and junction is in.

Alternatively, get it done and open it up properly earlier.
