North Stand Construction Discussion

[BringBackSwales]

For one of the ricest clubs in the world, and I get there is large scale construction in progress but the perimeter surface is embarassing. I spent more time skipping puddles on Saturday. Needs sorting when North Stand is finished.

I am not sure there’s a grain of truth in that

Imagine winning the league on the day in front of 8000 Japanese tourists, Barcelona fans, and Scottish schoolchildren!

Pearl Puerto, ya bas

To resurface around the stadium would be good if the club used the Yas Marina racing circuit blue tarmac that KAM chose when asked what he wanted

City have said they will release more than 4,000 new Flexi Season Tickets stadium-wide ahead of the 2026/27 season, and that 50% of the new Flexi Season Tickets will be ringfenced for Junior Cityzens, however I don't think they have formally made it clear how the application process will work.

Apologies too for derailing the construction related topic!

I think they said they'll start off with the 2 seasons minimum number of games attendance rules but I'd suspect it'll work it's way down to being open sale?

What a tremendous waste of space those trees are going to be under the canopy in City Square.

It should be a functional area. Yes make it look decent to look at but it's just a complete waste of space when you think what City Square could be before a game.

It's definitely going to be retarmacked around the North stand and the hotel.

Looks a lot better that, lets hope though they maintain it!

How much space does a tree take up? I'd say about 1sqm

Less if you can stand under it.

They may make feature seating around the trunks so no real loss of amenity space

Why is no-one wearing City shirts?

They'll be full of cig dimps soon enough just like the south stand bogs.

Can't bring myself to get excited about it until my anxiety is eased for my little one to get a ST. Aiming to get in there, moving from SS, but admittedly not too picky as long as he gets one.

You should be fine given that there’s a significant number of tickets red circled for kids. Good luck.

Thanks mate, I'm more scared shitless of missing information/deadlines. Not entirely sure where things will be announced, or when...

On here or at https://www.mancity.com/ticketing-and-hospitality/north-stand most probably the best options.

Edit: Just found the eligibility criteria someone (you?) asked about although they may reduce them depending on demand.

North Stand ticketing and experience update

With the North Stand's expanded single-upper tier due to open before the end of the current season, we are pleased to share some important updates about season tickets and our new matchday experiences.

A few screen grabs from SS Skies latest drone video showing the tarmac around the North stand and the East stand.

As you can see, there has been a lot of underground utilities work, and the darker and newer tarmac resurfacing is clearly visible in those areas.







To resurface the whole perimeter of the Etihad would be a huge undertaking, and the cost would be astronomical. Probably something City would never consider doing.

Why is it so expensive? Also what is the green stuff on the floor if you turned left out of JMW? That’s nearly as bad as JMW itself.
