Could you ever imagine this lot in charge of proceedings, nothing would get done.

 

[xgorton]

City End.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Work has started

 

[WARBABY]

Why can’t we just have The Kippax? Keeps something historic alive from Maine Road but in a new and fancier stadium?

We have already a historic name from maine road it's called the NORTH STAND

TBF Mark Todd is saying everything we’ve said and wanted on here. Which thankfully has been replicated by his network of 500 City fans. He also talks a lot of sense.

There is clearly a general consensus of what we all want the new home end/North stand to be.

So there are no excuses by the club not to deliver what the vast/overwhelming majority of City fans want.

FFS, Amy! WTF! I had to fast forward the video.

The name surely had to be 93:20 related

 

[blueinsa]

Hate to be the one but it will be called the North Stand.

Thats fine by me, think if we want to honour players do it in a way we can do more than 4, naming it after Maine Road or parts of it seems a bit living in the past.
If we want a name choose a new name relevant to the ground and where it is now and let it grow it’s own history.

Would that include the unique experience that was a trip to the toilets at the back of the original Kippax?

 

[spacecadet]

I really can't work out what the fuck it matters what they call it? So long as it happens.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Seems like Blue Wall or North Stand are most popular options

That's the end it was scored at. The biggest moment the end well ever have

And when, occasionally (if you were in the middle of a jam packed Kippax, you'd feel a warm, damp sensation down the back of your leg.
