Interesting, similar to the rags at the swamp then.nmc said:The Goat 10 said:Had a drive round the Etihad last night and it's all so overwhelming just how much time and effort has been put into it all, the thing that strikes you most is the sheer quality of it all. The mini-stadium in the complex looks so well put together and could easily host some clubs as high-up as the Championship, the bridge structure looks excellent and the Etihad its-self is having a makeover with images documenting the clubs history.
From numerous posts I've read on here over the years, one thing has always persisted and that is, once the North Stand expansion is completed the current store will be demolished and relocated, could that be to the site where this supposed retail complex is to be? It would make sense if we are to have a retail complex that it would centre around a huge City Store.
I was led to believe that the store will be incorporated into the North Stand - in effect the City Square stage and the Shop swap places.

Serious here mate. But have you considered doing a book using your piccies, some of the narrative on here and perhaps a proper writer helping out.
I think it would be a superb project to do and something many blues would be really interested in.
Excellent idea.mancity dan said:Rascal said:@JRB

I second that. would be brilliant.
From the Supporter Information announcement on Thurs 21stChancy Termites said:Weather's not looking too bad for Monday. Any idea when the south stand will be under cover again?
The temporary roof covering is due to be in place for the match against Chelsea on Sunday 21st September, although all construction programmes are designed with some flexibility in case of high winds or storms

The best idea on here in a long time, JRB you really have done a sterling job over the last 12months and having a book covering the photos, feedback and forum views would make a superb read, do it, I would happily pay £20 for a hardback book covering the changes of times at the Etihad, put me down for 1 copy please.Rascal said:@JRB

I may be wrong but the pictures make it look a pink, green and yellow colour, but in the drone video its back to the concrete colour? It could just be the banners from the recent rugby, but if it is video screens then its certainly another great upgrade!

Rolling Advertising on 2nd tier according too posters on here who have visited the stadium over the last few weeks, may not be used 100% of the time for advertising though
They are gonna name and shame people leaving early.

Get Gary James involved and that's a winner. A history of the building of the academy.
((I think Rascal and I should get a free copy for the idea ))

If only people would have been interested in the thousands of pictures i took of Maine Roads demolition (3 times a week, every week, for over 6 months)...
In reality about 50 people max would buy these books :(

Interested by the branding on that sign. The Cityzens logo appears part of a set. We now have City football. I wonder what might be next, City shopping, City accommodation, etc etc?
Thanks for all the pics JRB, can't wait to see it live on Monday
