You couldn't make it up could you?

I often wonder what it's like as an away fan coming to the Etihad for the first time

I remember myself thinking how fucking bonkers it was having monitors on the concourses..little shit like that

For some twats moaning about possibly one of the best stadiums in the UK beggars believe..I'm actually stunned

I think it's going to be really impressive when it's done

It'll be the biggest stand in the league so they won't have to worry about filling in the corners as it will hold a huge amount of people without that. and then they're doing the Anfield Road end next.
(and it's not like I'm sticking up for them because I like them, I bloody hate Liverpool!)

That new tier remind anyone else of the Kippax?

I'm certainly no fan of the dippers, but I think it looks quality personally. Close to the pitch, steep, reasonably low roof.
 
I'm sure in some of the plans released that there was a 'potential finished stadium' design in there that had all the tiers expanded and fully developed. I can't seem to find it, does anyone have the nous to locate it? Unless I'm imagining it.

Get a grip man. People are just giving honest assessments
 
The East and west stands will allways have a gap with the North and South. The rakes of the upper tiers behind the goal are different to the east and west tiers. However when the east and west stands are expanded the corners will be resolved and the roof will read as one again. I can't be bothered finding the pictures but they are on this thread. It will look simple magnificent. I was there today and they were doing some tidying up of the external plant areas - new stone chippings etc.

By the way - this stand has cost 80 million pound and will not pay for itself for decades. There are some real ungrateful c...ts on here.

Just fill it and we will be seeing the North stand soon. Then the east and west - we will be getting 76,000 plus crowds in 2022.

Thanks Worsley. 99% of fans are still amazed at what is happening at City and the stadium development is key - it means we are here to stay. Rags might have once thought we'd do a Blackburn

Couldn't agree more.

As Marvin says, the whingers are a minute percentage. They appear more due to the internet imo.

Most City fans are buzzing about it.
 
A couple of questions

Does anybody know how the Health & Fitness Centre (round the corner from 6th Form College) is coming along. Does it look anywhere near completion.

Also does anybody know if there are plans to do something with the area underneath the west stand of the mini Etihad. It looks completely bare & unused. I think the mini Etihad is brilliant & must be the envy of all other premiership clubs. My only complaint is the catering is not up to much. Two little cubby holes supplying only hot dogs, crisps, chocolate bars. I was thinking maybe this area underneath the west stand could be used for bar, seating, more catering options. Maybe have something on 2 levels as it is quite high. Just a thought.

Jrb gets a lot of praise on this thread, but your post always make me feel giddy. Are you in the know?
