City to expand Etihad to 62,000?

[HelloCity]

You get a real sense of just how big the new upper tier will be in this pic.

Quick question ?

Are they putting an extra block in east and west stand closing the gap to the scoreboard ?

 

[Chancy Termites]

Any chance that the new front rows will be added sooner rather than later, ie along with the south stand?

Yeah. There's a small block attached to the end of CB and East upper.

No, this is from the OS :-

It is the Club's current intention to first proceed with the development of the South Stand. The opportunity also exists to expand the North Stand and to introduce additional pitch side seating in the future for which planning permission has also been granted.

There's no guarantee they'll even go ahead with the extra pitch side seats.

Interesting info in tonight's programme.

" it is the clubs current intention to proceed with the development of the south stand. However a phased or concurrent approach, persuing the additional construction of an extension to the north stand, remains a possibility."

Looks like the north stand remains a possibility. Depends on summer transfer activity?

Summer transfer activity is hardly going to affect whether we do one or both at the same time. Are you mistaking us for the rags?

Looking at the new tiers behind the goals, they're a different shape to the east and Colin bell stands. Is this an indication that in a few years if our attendances improve dramatically, all tiers will be matches like the north and south stands completing a bowl like third tier.

Any indication when that piece for the programme was written? Could be out of date

Yes, that's the long term view...
