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

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

Nice one FC.

Failure to Finish Program as distinct from the FFP we know and love.

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

Many thanks for correction WW.
The days are gone where a Company can blame a supplier for none completion. Suppliers must be selected with care as we are all aware.

We only host one match and that is on the 10th October iirc.

There's only one game played outside Twickenham, England v Uraguay, its sold out already with a capacity of 53000.

Just to clarify - Is the one game away from Twickers - the one at The Etihad. ?
If so how has the 53,000 tickets been sold.?
I am guessing your answer will be - That the England Rugby Union WC have full control of selling.!
Just interested - Cheers!

Just checked and now realise that the only England game away from Twickers... is at The Etihad. Also if you click the link above under Venues it does show Capacity at The Etihad to be 56,000.

This game is due to K.O. at 8-00pm on Sat. 10th October 2015 - so we can assume the capacity will be completed and certified.

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!)

and let there be colour!!

LOL! Fantastic pics. Even when you put on the colour, the good ol' Mancunian Sky is still grey

Went to the ground today like a saddo....am like a spare...at a wedding when we have no game on a Saturday.

It really does take my breath away as you drive past the minihad and then onto the ground and around the stadium ring road, we are unbelievably lucky to be on this train to a land we could never of dreamed of just a few years back.

Thank you Sheikhy Sheikhy...top man.

This and the north stand will give the look of the stadium a serious kick up the arse. We'll look back and think how crap and flimsy they looked before developing
