Watching
it grow and imagining what it's going to be like when it's all finished will be a highlight of next season for me.

Yeah going to be great seeing it go up over the course of the season, going to be as interesting as the match itself!!

With the match day prices the club are starting to charge for those of us without a season ticket, i may be forced to just come and admire the external construction as opposed to the ongoings within!

Do you live in a power station?

no chance of the Test Match on long wave at his house

Yeah it's electric round here!

Actually those wires are a good 2 miles from my house thankfully and the stadium is about 4.5 miles as the crow flies

As far as timelines go, we are at 0.40sec into the video.

At first look you'll notice the next bit is the foundations are laid for the new stand and you see the steel structure go up around the external supports.
I was wondering about the roof in the corners, now at 35 secs you see them disappear, however just after 40 seconds when the steel box goes up you see the roof is joined up again. And then at 1.22 it's taken off again so that the new roof is joined to the east and CB stands. ;o)

They're putting temporary covers over the exposed corners to stop people getting wet on a match day.

Wonder what the Liverpool fans will think, not only coming to the Champions first away game but also seeing what is happening at the Etihad and being left further behind. Will be pulling in half a million pounds more every game soon.
