When was this? Didn’t see it advertised

I don’t know.

It was one of the pre-Wednesday main test events.

It wasn’t advertised.

It was probably for City staff, construction site workers, and local residents only?

Ok , surprised it wasn’t advertised to the local residents group
(I didn’t see it mentioned)

anyone know when the big screens on the ends of the buildings will be finished?

I’m just guessing.

Somebody on here will know for definite.

No could guess they might get them installed in the summer ready for start of season as most of the complex will be in the final stages by then the hotel is taking booking as early as 21st September

No sign of the roof top walk, has it been abandoned?

Surely that is the least of their priorities. It has been a difficult winter with a lot of rain and storms, so if they get the stand open for Sunday it will be a good result. Peripheral money spinners will evolve, my guess is the priority once the season ends is to get the Medlock Square finished and some of the commercial buildings open before next season to maximise revenue. The roof walk might be held back as a result, but my guess it will probably not be open until Spring 2027. But it is just my thinking.

The commercial building shows no sign of been fitted out by anyone so I assume they have not been let yet.
I agree that Medlock Square Will be open in some form, all the food outlets might not be up and running and the shop will be open.
The museum will probably be a bit later.

I think it was for people who worked on it and family members (maybe City staff too).

Reminder of the scale of the third tier design (south stand) vs the new 2 tier north stand design.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I can get hold of two more tickets for Wednesday. Free to a good home as long as you are definitely attending. Thanks

The image says proposed North Stand vs consented North Stand

It sure does, buddy.

That’s because the original plan for the north stand was to replicate the south stand.

Yes, it was for staff/friends/family.
It was free and included food/drink. A bit boring really. Some music and a phone app quiz.
A quick hint for those going to the next test. Read up on the new stats for the development/north stand ;)

Wasn't far off with my guesstimate of the city hall proportional seating!

 

[Alty_Blue]

I wonder why the seats don't (yet) go all the way to the edges of the new stand in some places? Doesn't seem like its sight lines as there are 4 rows that do. Picture credit @ssskies

The width might not be wide enough for both the seat and the person to be comfortable sat there ?
