There isn’t any evidence GMP would oppose moving the away fans from SSL3 to Blocks 111 and 110, due to access issues to the coach park. As I’ve already shown with my pictures a few weeks back, away fans can be moved to blocks 111 and 110 as they would still have direct access to the away coach...

The weather is looking good for most of the day for the lift. Snow fall is predicted for Monday evening through to Tuesday. Weather warning!

Great idea! City fans can talk about Flexi Gold season tickets and get £150 to pay off the £150 Flexi Gold season ticket surcharge.

Fill it with statues.

Just rename the the Etihad Campus, the Pep Guardiola Campus.

There's enough entrances and exits at the back of blocks 111 and 110 to allow safe access to the away coach parks directly behind blocks 111 and 110. Logistically it can be done, but I don't think the club will do it. The club may have looked at it as part of the Etihad and new North stand...

Not that I ever, ever doubted the lifting information given to me by your man from Sarens. Thank you again. I had to go to Asda anyway, so I had a quick look and parked up for a few seconds opposite Joe Mercer Way. The crane is still in the same position as it was yesterday. :-) Over to you CP...

On the plus side, Putin and Russia continue to deplete their armed forces, equipment and missiles, whilst NATO helps Ukraine and manages its stock of equipment and missiles. At the same time NATO gathers valuable information on the quantity of the Russian army and their leadership, whilst...

When do you think the actual lift will start and finish, considering it’s going to be a 6:30am start? I can nip down in the mid afternoon. I won’t bother if the lift is over by then.

Hypothetical I know. But let’s go with it as it could happen. Manchester United draw FC United at Old Trafford in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. FC sell out their 3000 allocation in the away end. Match day. As both sets of fans are wearing red and white colours, it’s hard to tell them apart...

Detailed equipment losses. Russian v Ukrainian.

I’ve zoomed into a few of the pictures showing the straps. The quality of the pictures do suffer, but you can make the straps out better, and where, and how they are positioned on the steel frame.

I would assume today is a day off for everyone across the construction site, regardless of who they work for? The only people I saw onsite yesterday were the Sarens people, some Sisk people, and security. I didn’t see or hear any work taking place.

For the drone lads tomorrow it will all be about timing. I'm guessing the critical parts of the lift are filming the 'start of the lift', and the 'attachment', either side of maneuvering it into place. It's going to be a long day chaps. :-)

I'll nip down today just to double check the lift isn't today. I was told 100% it was Monday and would begin at 6:30 am. That was from the person who seemed to be in charge of erecting the crane. He had a different coloured high viz on, and he was in charge of and directing the other crane...

I didn’t mean a few hours to lift it and to fix it into place. What I should have posted, it will take most of Monday to lift it and to fix it into place. I’ve corrected it and updated it. :-) On a serious note. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get to the Etihad on Monday, so if anyone can go...

To another knob. He’s not even been in the job for a week.

One knob….

The final set of pictures. The Sarens lifting crane. Ready to be lifted with the orange straps attached. The smaller Sarens mobile crane was driven away. PS. I missed the mobile crane arm lifting up because I went and had a look around the souvenir store, otherwise I...

I went a bit potty on the right side, but there's so many things to take pictures of. :-) The complexity of the steel work really is impressive.
