Still no sign of a roof where I sit.
Thing the club should let us know if we are likely to get a soaking.

It's a very good question.
Laing O'Rourke (select plant) purchased that crane for a major project in the south and it's the biggest TC in Europe. That major project doesn't start until the middle of next year however, so rather than have the asset sitting and not paying for itself, the project team are utilising it on the stadium expansion - and it's more then man enough to lift any of the steel or roof sections at the ethiad - ITS A BEAST :)

That's odd, it looks like they've got this version of the crest up on the wall:

They are 'celebrating' all of the OSC branches I believe
Not been confirmed yet... I do security on Match day and they are still sorting out final plans for games, main worry is how to get the away fans in without mixing with the home fans, most other tickets will just be activated so they can be used on another entrance and then walk along either concourse to your seat...Del_Bosque said:That City football logo on the sign is the same as the Cityzens one
I reckon that'll be used across the CFG
Also, We've been using Cityzens logo on the front of the training kit, I reckon when the new training ground opens that'll be replaced with a new sponsor
I'm SS L2 block 217, I usually go in entrance N, obviously not this season any ideas where I'll have to go?

Good shout that Moggy.
Straight off the production line.
First time it's been used in Europe.
City ruining cranes since 2014.
