kingantti1874 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Instead of that big gap in the bottom corner; can we not have it seated with a hydraulic lift like the section behind the goals? Think access needs to be immediate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Muddie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Its not a missed opportunity its an architectural impossibity as the floodlights hold the stands up. We could knock all the stands down and start again but for the sake of a few hundred seats the ???? it would cost dont equate. The maroon design was felt to be a nice contrast in small amounts rather than all over the front its down to individual taste i guess but i prefer it as is. The stands hold themselves up. The pillars support the roof actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackhallJambo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 That'll work when an ambulance needs access in an emergency... Pretty sure from a tour of Old Trafford a while back it had such an arrangement where seats above the players tunnel are on a hydraulic lift to allow bigger vehicles in when necessary. Can't imagine it's to difficult to ask 50 people to vacate their seats when there is an exceptional need to use the facility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine it's to difficult to ask 50 people to vacate their seats when there is an exceptional need to use the facility It's not about asking people to move - it's about an ambulance being able to immediately get to someone who's potentially dying.

BlackhallJambo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Absolutely. My point is that the poster was being ridiculed for his suggestion. All I am saying is that it is feasible and Man Utd are meeting their legal obligations with this system. However our budget and theirs are obviously on different levels entirely and for that reason it ain't going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Why only at the ends? Can we get an extra seat squeezed in somewhere in the ground? Looks much better than being one short IMO I'm not being daft its a missed opportunity IMO We should have factored in a special section with smaller seats for the vertically challenged, salad eating members of the support. Do it now before it is too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredo Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Obviously we can't put seating in the corners due to the pillars holding the roof up, but there's no reason why we can't cover the pillars with some sort of panelling to close them off, I think it being closed off would look great and make for a much better atmosphere.

Always thought about that. Would love to see wraparounds around all four pylons. Semi permeable covers to let air in (or if not, they could be clipped on/off as and when). Completely agree, they would box in what will already be a very very enclosed arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure, as someone mentioned above, there must be something semi-permeable that would do the trick.... I agree it would look good and keep those in the end section lower seats more sheltered from the gusty winds that sometimes blows in there. I wonder if we would need to use clear panelling to still allow some light through but many grounds are now completely closed in so it doesn't seem to be an issue for others.

hughesie27 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Covers with air flow flaps for the wind would look great I think. Amazing I've never thought about that as a solution or read about it on here till now. Can't be much if any light getting through to residential property at any of the corners?

hughesie27 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Having seen a video on FB and the recent pictures I am a bit disappointed at how white the floor level glass panels are appearing in direct sunlight. Very similar to the artists impression we all argued over. Glass is a difficult material however so the stand is going to appear different in many different lights. Can't wait to see it lit up on winter evenings with internal lights v Europe's finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
