That's something that will be sorted in the future according the design doc. The slightly circular shape of the tier will remain but it will be a lot bigger. Similar to the new South tier.

According to the doc, the options are to either demolish the current third tier and rebuild or stitch extra rows onto the existing section.

It might be an engineering issue, but I don't get why we didn't just go for a symmetrical joining of the seating which would give us a bigger capacity and look better IMO.

There's still gaps between the stands and the top level of seating still slopes down either side. Surely this expansion would have been the ideal opportunity to do this?

You absolute miserable sod. We're getting the best expansion money can buy and you're having a winge. Talk about spoilt rotten ;)

Props for your opinion that filling in the corners would give us a bigger capacity though. You should have been a designer! No idea what you're on about regarding the slopes either tbh.

Anyway, according to the design doc, the corners are temporary and are designed to be removed/amended once construction starts on the East and CB stands. Probably in the 2020s...

About time the moan moan brigade were taken to task. Gene Kelly / dog shite alleys / stinking bogs / the guy who stood with the "sinners repent" banner / Peter Swales / loads more reasons to be unhappy if you want.
71 years old these are the best years I have had following City, oh and don't forget never boo a Blue.

So I'm 'eventually' going to get my a symmetrical stadium then? Still don't see why they don't help my OCD settle down by doing it all in this faze. We're great a building businesses and football clubs, but rubbish at time & motion efficiency unless I'm still missing summat.

Also I wish they'd draw the design doc in crayon so the average dude can understand it too!! :-)

I honestly can't believe any City fan would moan about this.

Personally I like the look of it being a specific stand rather than a wrap around like Emirates or Wembley, when we do the North Stand the ground will look fantastic with four clearly defined stands.

Two things:

1. It wasn't a moan, it was just an observational comment on my personal preference. If you read the corresponding posts, by all accounts the club are looking to address my observations either in 2018 or into the 2020's. I just further commented 'wouldn't it make sense just to do it all now'?

2. In respect to you - Empty vessels & all that.
