Looks like travel to and from Manchester football grounds is not a new problem.

Here is an extract from a 1947 railway publication relating to our neighbours from Trafford!

Pictures taken on Sunday.

Piling rig City. :-)

Not the most gripping video.

Shows 73 modules being lifted into place for the workers delivering the arena.

The video speeds up. Stick with it.

There is a box park scheduled for Manchester. Pre pandemic it was to be penciled in for near Piccadilly though. Could be a good shout having it near the new arena though

Looks stunning, and puts our exterior to shame

Wouldn't say shame, and the stadium will get smartened up when it does . probably in a few years. Doesn't really bother me as long as what goes on the pitch is as good as it it is.

I think we have missed a golden opportunity to do it during the pandemic.

It's interesting that it appears to keep almost all the existing seating, and is just a new hugely expensive wrapper for the old stadium.

The existing interior to be fair was high quality, it's far more than a wrapper, if that as a wrapper how would you describe our plastic sheet art work wrapped around the Etihad?

Actually think it’s a really ugly design.

It’s the modernised internals and the retractable roof which are more impressive for me.

Stunning stadium to me but so is ours, if we sort the exterior out, it could be very special

The exterior of our stadium is absolutely diabolical and it's a shame the club have zero interest in improving it when in comparison to how much they invest regularly it surely wouldnt cost much?

Newport?

That’s the 2013/14 season, isn’t that Negrado on the deck? So not Newport as we played them in 2019.

Think I just prefer more classic and imposing stands/stadium designs. Really like the design of the South Stand from the outside.

About time, it's so shabby, an embarrassment to a club of our stature
