How much is this going cost for a punt around the roof?

£115

Frankly my dears, I don’t give a damn about the roof walk, but if it raises funds, fair enough

Not for me either, I’ve seen the drone footage from up there, nothing to see as far as I’ve seen.

That looks dodgy as fook every before you get out on the roof FFS!

I can't wait to get up there

Sorry, I don’t really follow the thread and have only looked at the last few pages. What is the purpose of this “roof walk”?

Tourist attraction and income stream.

Same here. I’m holding off doing a tour until this is done, I haven’t done one since the training site opened.

Like any roof walk, it is a completely different experience in person, than what 'you see' on amy camera footage from a similar height. The quotation marks are not sarcastic btw, just highlighting that it, as an experience is not all about the view, and not one to compare on a camera.

Last one I did was 2014 I think. Before the fancy new changing rooms as well, the tunnel malarkey etc. So by the time this finishes, will have been worth the wait, and the repeat.

Maybe if you like that sort of thing,personally not a fan of heights but will grit my teeth for a ‘special’ view. Just don’t think the view from the Etihad roof will be the incentive for me. For those that do though that’s great, enjoy. Think my son will , I’ll wait in one of the bars;)

Looks shite to me!

 

[SWP's back]

Not from the Etihad but from a stock image on the internet.

Well done detective.

For me it will be a great opportunity to see the Manchester/city centre skyline from the Etihad/East Manchester. :-)

You’ll also see the CFA as well.

Have they run out of blue seats to finish it?

I think the graph below explains the 'magenta' light illuminating the pitch.

The absorption spectrum for chlorophyll peaks in the blue and red end of the spectrum so if you illuminated grass with blue and red light it would be more efficient and the light would appear magenta.
