Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

I find those demolition pics heart rending, to be honest. Yes, I know Maine Road was a dump at the end, and we couldn't turn down the chance to move to a brand new stadium. But I still miss the old place (spent my first 10 years on this earth about 5-10 minutes walk from the ground). So many memories. Granted, not all of them good. But, it was home for us. On the other hand; no new stadium = no HRH = no "Aguerooooo".

Brilliant pics kippaxkid74.

Work seems to progressing at a fair rate and looks to me like a very exciting part of the developmemt. Sadly jrb I think that your 4-5 week gab may miss it all. Would I be too cheeky in asking for sooner update? Not wishing to look a gift horse in the mouth!

The Connell's helped to build the club and then they came along and knocked Maine road down

Was at the stadium today for half an hour and took my camera - stupid computer card reader at my other halfs crashed tonight after copying only 2 of the 20 or so that i took (will have to put the rest on at home tomorrow), so will post just 2 for now - hippy dippy flowers heh (lots of girders and manly stuff on the rest i promise!)

(edit to say - do these get cut off two thirds of the way across your screen? They do on mine... i've noticed that on bluemoon before with other people's pics too..)

someone working!

someone else working!

and working on a roof piece on the ground

and while we're on about pics, some from Maine Road demolition that i took, that i think i posted in this thread a billion pages ago (ony got tiny version online, have well over a 1000 of 6 months of demolition on an old external HD somewhere)

I don't think i've ever had such mixed emotions looking at one post before than that one ^^^^^

Not certain about this but did the current Etihad build program miss a deadline because of the non arrival of steel last year ?

It did but it was just relating to completion of temporary works - not critical to the overall works programme.

I think FFP meant we couldn't but a bid in for him ;-)
