Any further news on the design of the North Stand. My contact works freelance and worked on South Stand planning but won't be involved with Laing on the North Stand but he has heard that it may be three tiers with no cooperate between tiers.

I'm just wondering how much it will cost to do because it doesn't seem the kind of thing that will pay for itself, rather than something that can generate more money it might just be one of those things that looks cool and makes the stadium more unique to set it apart. I do hope it's safe though I can just see rival fans lobbing stuff at it and a player getting injured with glass or something.
Think it will be well H&S approved, also think it maybe one way glass so players won't be able to see into the areas.

Suppose so but how much stupidity do H&S account for? :)

Fair comment! The two guys who will know are both on holiday! I will find out soon enough.
Europa League ............according to Bradley Allen - London Radio..............

Take a look at the background to Claudio Bravo's Twitter account

Bleeding hell, don't ask him for the time! Looks like he'd kick your head in.

Being at the match Wednesday night, I was thinking what a awesome stadium it would be if the 3rd tier from the South stand was carried on all the way around . Also was wondering if the pitch could be dug down lowered, so we could put more rows in at the front ?

I theory you could keep digging down but ultimately we are running out of room and you'd have to reduce the size of the pitch. Can't see it being economic to dig down another couple of meters given you'd only get a couple more rows in. Once the North stand is done we'll have plenty of space and we still have the ability to increase capacity in the East and West stands as per the long term blue print.
Some time ago there was a 'mock ' up of the Etihad where we had 3 tiers all the way round - as you suggested. 60,000 capacity.Maybe some one could 'display' it again.
I cannot see that we could 'dig' down further - like they did with the Commonwealth Games - to put the current Level 1 in .............

The full 3 tier extension would hold 76000 plus. They can't link all the way round as the rake is very different on the south stand that that of the east and west. The south stand 3rd true can be widened once the category system for the old roof are fully removed! Let's just do the north stand first though. I don't know anything concrete yet but my money is on two teir stand with no corporate. Hoping to see some drawings next week.

I'd say there was room but there's the water table, drainage, cost to factor in when they've got the potential to take it to in excess of 80000 it probably isn't worth it
