Looks like they are making room for Yaya's cake?

Glad you're here to tell us these things ;)

The last one is recent though.

The older two are a good read especially with the new developments. The roof article makes you realise the effort that's being put into the new design, working around the ring etc.

Doesn't feel that long ago you were telling everyone it was impossible for any sort of expansion or am I thinking of someone else? :)

Sorry for that - I meant to put a load more into it but clicked on 'Submit' prematurely

I don't believe it was me who said it was impossible - just that there was a need to retain the cablenet.

My renders (which GX did say were close to the truth) always retained the cable net but assumed the newly raised roof would not be as high as what the final design has turned out to be and would snook in UNDER the cablenet at the front and thus wouldn't need anything like those two complicated contraptions which will ACTUALLY be supporting the new end roof (above the retained cablenet)

These renders were created November 2012

Great updates Manchester 1894. Adds a new dimension to the thread. Can't wait for all the pictures from inside the stadium when the season starts.

Picked up on something.

Note the concrete foundations in the pictures and in the video.(screen grab) To the left of the left supporting mast.

You did a decent job tbf.

I wonder if they plan to remove the cable net eventually and thus the original supports? All 4 sides would probably have to be done by then so this would be years away.

In the design doc it says a possible solution to doing the sides would be to demolish the existing third tier and rebuilding to make best use of the available space.

Wouldn't it be great if this happened and one huge grandstand was constructed above the existing two tiers? Similar in scale to the one at Barca.

Look at that pic and imagine the Etihad's first two tiers were the lower bowl and first block in the next tier.

If they want to get a stadium as big as is rumoured then something like the above might not be far off in terms of their long term thinking.

You should do a mock up :)

Blimey, that was fast. When I saw the club's transition renders video I was convinced it would take a month to get to that stage.

And sitting in 308 we are going to be right in the mix, can't wait, for those that want to be on top of the building site and get the best photos my seat can be rented for £3000 for the season :)












Only joking would be far more than that.
