Went down to the stadium this morning

It was a real hive of activity, most of the glass panels in place on the third tier and guys all over the place

Yeah but did the corners still look 'rubbish'?

I think they look fine, better than expected

Was just hoping they wouldn't look so crap. It looks as though someone made a nice little model stadium, but then a kid accidentally broke the corners and tried to cover their mistake up with a bit of glue and a bent piece of card and made a proper shit job of it.

My God you don't realise what a pile of crap it is until you get that view, that is just awful.

Its true, its bad enough when you have to drive past it but that view..

how they can call it "theatre of dreams" which although in itself utterly naff would conjure up images of transcendental performances throughout the ages etc.

its more like "panto in a station".

Slight detour. Rather than starting a new thread.

Has anyone seen this before?

Found it around the back of Ancoats/New Islington.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Thanks for the pics again jrb! We are going to have a stunning looking stadium when both ends are done!
 
Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Wonder if the new roof supports have lights at the top like in the artists impressions.

Also if they're keeping the original turnstyles in for access to the bottom tier. In many news stands that have been built over the top of an existing structure you have to walk under the new development to get to the old turnstyles.

About time they sorted the lights at the top of the other masts, it's been years since they all worked.

Part of the FFP sanctions apparently! A reduction in the allowable amount of working blue mast lights!

Should be free to spend on new bulbs this summer!

Wouldn't fancy the window cleaning job there; you'll need a bloody big ladder!

You'd be nearly as busy as the rat catcher at the swamp.

Wow, I find this image very touching, it's a banksy type masterpiece, the surroundings, the location, the bigger blue holding the smaller red, the message it portrays. Pure genius.
