UEFA have to check the stand to make sure we have actually built it and not just photo shopped an old picture, just in case we are trying to write costs off for FFP for an imaginary stand. :)

Why is the perimeter of the pitch/stand in the lower corner of this image not "flush"? Notice how the concrete slopes back towards the stand instead of going around the corner in one smooth motion.

Also, the perimeter "gates/fences are further back than the other perimeter gates/fences in this section. Looks the same at the other end too.

Why is this?

She's taking shape!

A new chapter of the Etihad Stadium will be written this season when the extended South Stand opens to the public for the first time.

We're on the official count down to the extended stadium’s debut as City take on title rivals Chelsea in their first Premier League home game on 16 August.

That match should see the highest attendance for a home game since the 70s and will be the perfect launch pad for a new City era.

Check out our gallery featuring the very latest images snapped by Club photographer Victoria Haydn.

Plenty of beer pumps to keep thirsty fans happy.

The pic. of the Legends Lounge - Is that where Jessica Ennis-Hill has been practising her high hurdles?. just a thought.
 
That new stand looks ace. Really impressed. But unfortunately, sharing with the away fans on all 3 tiers? will kill any extra atmosphere we get next season for me.

Suppose It's kinda like visiting fans sharing the Koop and anfailed. Stick em up in the 3rd tier east stand ;) haha but i won't go into that debate

I disagree, having away fans spread over 3 tiers will kill the away fans atmosphere it will be very difficult for them to coordinate their singing so you will get small pockets of chants. It's up to us to generate our own atmosphere in the new stand.
