North Stand Construction Discussion

[Goatmeal]

I don’t see the problem with faded seat colours, after all nearly all have bums them on match day. If there were drones over OT, for example, my guess is they would be varying from red to pink.

Water stained too

Love that roof.
At some point there needs to be a nod to it at the Etihad.

New seats vs faded seats

Yes well that's because City fans are constantly sitting down then standing up to cheer a goal. The way Erling is going those seats in tier one and two will be the lightest shade of blue possible by Xmas.

I was wondering how much will City's yearly income increase by... when the new stand, hotel, shop, museum, (plus the 50% share in co-op live) etc are open (probably increased sponsorship). £100 million per year? I'm sure the owners have it all worked out....its cost what £400 million in total?

The concrete a lighter shade too without 22 years of being walked on, what will we do?

We don't have a share in the co-op live CFG do. The north stand development could add up to 50% to our matchday revenue.

The way that roof angles downward over the new upper tier is absolutely perfect for generating noise. Please please please don’t fuck this up, City. This is a one off chance to rejuvenate and reinvent the whole club.

There will be a lot more visible faded blue seats visible around the Etihad during the 2nd half of the season.

Your pre-supposing, that we wont be winning the league then ?
3 Points of the top of the league and you come out with that statement.
Oh ye of little faith.

Surely you mean M.C.F.C. to O.C.D.F.C.?

I prefer the faded seats, more "Sky Blue".

I have to be honest, my O.C.D. is kicking in because the spacing (or kerning I think is the correct term) between the letter ‘F’ and the letter ‘C’ isn’t the same as between the other letters. Can anyone else see that?

 

[eyalluvitt]

That's a lot of empty seats!

Just after the 70 minute exodus?

 

[Gordyola]

Aside from the faded issue there are also different types of seats that make the color look different, padded seats in the corporate area and the safe standing seats. There is also a contributing factor such as different suppliers and batches so no way are they all going to look identical. Would also ask what is the Pantone of the blue

What shade of blue is City blue?

Just light blue.

Most of the time they arent seen anyhow as they have bums on them

Don’t get this obsession with club colours, the fact that my Nissan is sky blue is entirely co-incidental ;-)
