Currently at the Etihad.

Having a breather, sat on the concrete benches opposite the new bridge,(trees have now been planted in the large wooden planters), the Sun is out, it's very warm, and the scene in front of me looks amazing. :-) Massive changes. ;-)

Pictures of the South Stand construction, and pictures of the training academy around the Minihad to follow. (Seats are now visible in both side stands)

Will try and post the pictures tonight. If not tonight, definitely tomorrow Afternoon.

Yes!

On the left side of the South stand, as you look at it from outside. The right side is still open to the elements.

As usual, click to enlarge.

Taken today.

Didn't take any pictures of the back of the training academy as it's now basically finished. Most of the work is concentrated on the Minihad and the central building, which I don't have access to. The seats are now going in both side stands.(see pictures) Found a few new vantage points. Basically climbing on top of the Metrolink railings and shelter. Lol! Couple of duplicates. The training academy and Minihad are breathtaking when viewed close up.

Will watching a City team play at the Minihad count as a new ground?
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Well that's cheered me up after last nights let down. Great pics.
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

I presume the blue seats spell something out, any guesses ?

I was wondering that too but it just looks random on those photos. Maybe it's a picture of something?
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

They've likely gone with a mix of lighter and darker seats to make the stadium look more populated during games.

A larger plane of sky blue stands out a lot more when crowds are lower but a mix of seat colours creates the illusion of less empty space.
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Brilliant pics jrb thanks for your efforts mate.

Brilliant I am on the right hand side.
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

There is a roofing update on City's website

As part of the on-going construction work to build the third level of the South Stand, sections of the roof were completely removed, from the corners. To ensure continuity of the roofline around the Stadium, a temporary roof has been constructed over the corner sections which will remain in place for the duration of the construction works

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

I like the look of the new seats in the mini stadium.
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

jockblue (on SSC)

jrb - has the plastic sheeting (or whatever) gone up to close over the areas that were open to the elements. They had promised this by the Chelsea game this weekend....

The left side corner of the South Stand facing the pitch has a temp cover on the roof. The right side of the South Stand also has a temp cover on the roof, which is currently being constructed.(see pictures).

The metal pillars(and cables) which support the roof are now inside the steel work/stand. Trees have been planted in large wooden planters alongside the bridge. Nice touch.

Got most of the pictures before the wooden hoardings started to go back up. 43 pictures in total.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

love the pics jrb my favourite thread on BM..
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

what a guy 'top man' thanks for the pics

some clever people have been sat around a table to design the south stand, building a new ground from scratch is one thing but to dissect a stadium and build into it like this while its open to the public is simply amazing
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Couldn't agree more, very clever architects and planners involved it probably helped using the same builders who built the original COMS having the plans and designs to work from. Think it will look amazing when both ends completed.
