Fjmcity Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 what's this based on? the 'rake' of the two stands mean its impossible for the seating to continue around in current guise. by integration do you mean some sort of building between?

As in where have you read it's due to be integrated with the Dolman? The side where the big screen is needs to stay open on that side because of access needed should an ambulance/police horses etc need to get on the pitch.

Whitchurch1966 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Can't be too integrated as it will be full of away fans next year. If they built seats under the tv screen it will limit access to the ground for the groundsmen and also they would only end up netting them because of segragation.

Spoke to the father of one of the architects who said that the Atyeo will be integrated to the Dolman in that corner but not integrated with the Lansdown because of the media building. The whole development will take place over next summer. Access points will obviously crucial to the plans as will the position of the screen.

jambodinho Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 The only 2 ways onto the pitch at old Trafford are via the 2 tunnels. One by the corner flag and one between the dugouts. Neither of which big enough to get and ambulance or horses through. The worst injury I can think of there was David Buust and he was taken off on a stretcher and down the tunnel. I'd imagine it's probably only amateur football where access is needed for an ambulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have an area where you can get on the pitch, at Old Trafford as mentioned above the tunnel area can be lifted to get emergency vehicles onto the pitch area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 We have a medical room just inside the tunnel, no real need for an ambulance to actually drive onto the pitch these days is it with all the portability of equipment? Slightly different but Wembley has a totally enclosed service tunnel large enough for vehicles such as ambulances to drive through all around the stadium.

The whole development will take place over next summer. Access points will obviously crucial to the plans as will the position of the screen. I'm not sure how this could happen in any meaningful way. The Dolman end of the Atyeo already extends beyond the end of the pitch, due to the pitch being moved towards the Lansdown Stand. If the seating was wrapped around to join the Dolman, there would be a restricted view and it would block the entrance to the Dolman. I can understand some work to tidy up that corner, as it's a bit of a mess, but as the Atyeo is going to be exclusively away fans, it seems sensible to leave it as a stand alone stand. Did the architect give any detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole section of seating can be hydraulically lifted to allow horses/vehicles access. Can only assume that if the Atyeo is being attached to the Dolman, it'll be a section integrating the tv on the outside, whilst still allowing space underneath for vehicles and horses. Perhaps it'll be the Atyeo pub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Only way i could see this happening is if the corner part of atyeo is demolished and rebuilt to sweep round the corner. The back corner of atyeo currently sits very far back so perhaps knock down the last two or three blocks of atyeo and rebuild. Seems a bit pointless really!

The bit of the redevelopment you are on about may well happen at some point, but it's not the next thing likely to happen on the AG site area. So there are no timescales for what you say you have been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Look. Now is the time for unity. If we are going to fit the crowds in for European football, we are going to need a bigger Atyeo. "I love this plan". tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire reds Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 As far as I know the atyeo stand has to stay as it is due to the houses behind. Unless Steve is buying all of them. I might be wrong but nothing can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's oom enough in what is the current car park and the new Atyeo will go up to the same height athe Dolman - allegedly......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
