Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

you have dropped a e

??

why the "??"

It's quite straight forward, or in years time will people refer to our current ground as the tihad?

Typo or not, bugs me when people do this to our beloved 80 year stadium...

Well said kippoxkid74.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Wasn't it said that wasn't happening yet as they were keeping that space open to get the crane on the pitch and the old roof off/out ?

That was me. Must have been misinformed because the piece was there ready to be put up on Saturday which surprised me! Unless the current gap in the new roof in the middle has been left to build the crane and that's what the guy i spoke to meant?

I think it's the gap in the centre of the roof as that's been there for a fortnight now

Crane inside stadium is roughly in the centre so I'd say it'd be the middle gap that's being used

Take is the interior for the other side has now been put up, must be well on course to be finished for August!

One thing I did notice on Saturday was the corner linking the South Stand & current singing section, near the corner flag. The additional rows at the front of the stand appeared to dip down rather than smoothly connecting around, lots of mud and mess... Looked like a lot of work needed to be done.

Alternatively it might be a mobile crane entering via the tunnel in NW corner The task will be lifting the main beams off the roof these could be loaded on to trucks and taken out through tunnel or lifted out by giant cranes. Just a suggestion

You need to connect your phone to your PC/Laptop and then use a photo hosting website like photobucket to store your photo online so that you can display the photo on a website.

Always my favourite pics from the bridge! The stadium is looking amazing.

The stadium has a Beijing 's birds nest feel, an exoskeleton-like appearance making it rather unique in England.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Will it be ready for August 8th or will we need to request that we are away first game to get it finished in time?

I reckon is gonna be tight - they've got to build an entire crane inside the ground to take the old roof down and then dismantle that crane - as well as getting the front of the tier finished and fitting out the WHOLE thing
I think you're quite safe booking your annual two week to Benidorm/Magaluf/SanAntonio (delete as appropriate) in the first two weeks of August ;-)
