The fact that the ends will be higher than the sides would make our stadium pretty unusual in design.

I cant think of any where there is the case but I'm open to being corrected.

I can only really think of the original Olympic Stadium in Sydney, when it was first built.

Yeah I can't think of any others. You have the likes of St James' but that wraps around the side as well. Must look a beast if you sit elsewhere in the ground, only ever been in the heavens in the away end.

It wouldn't make sense for grounds to have larger end tiers than side stands as the prime seats are along the pitch. That's why for me, it's inevitable the side stands will be expanded - a question of when more than if.

I imagine the club will look to have an extremely sizeable section of hospitality seating to really make mega bucks along there.

Out of interest - how high will this south stand be to the top row, in comparison to the Milburn End at St James? That was a major expansion when Newcastle did that, it's a huge single tier below and then the second tier seems miles high. Just wondering what our expanded tier will be in comparison.

Juts back from a presentation on ADUGS investment in new homes in the City. 5 plots initially in Ancoats and New Islington including the refurb of the historic Murrays Mills which looks amazing.

For those that know Ancoats they are also completing new developments on the Old Stockbridge Airco sites and the site of the old Express Motors which have been empty for years.

A total of 930 new homes. First schemes in for planning next month with hopefully a start on site this year.

Very interesting for any stattos interested in development in the City.

Is on in the St Peters Church (practice room for the Halle) in Ancoats until 7 tonight if anyone wants to pop along.

It does look great and like you say WW the Murray Mills part of it will be amazing.

Cheers for posting that. I was expecting this to be released at MIPIM in a few days, so nice surprise the plans are out there already. Are there many images if the build/s?

Have City put out any pictures of what the new concourse behind the level 2 East Stand will look like - the walls they are putting in are a nuisance. Would really like to know what I'd be getting for the extra 300 that i'm expecting on my season ticket.

Agreed. Made the concourse a shambles, far too narrow - the lack of info about what's going on there is pretty crap too, looks like they're going to give us a week or two to pay up, move or fuck off.
