I mean look at the difference ^. BOOM it's there now. Looked soft before. Makes the whole stadium look like it means business (well, apart from the north stand on the other side that we can't see!)

it always looked unimposing due to the fact the bottom tier is below floor level, it now/will look like it should

I'm looking forward to those corners being closed the wind doesn't half nip through the stand and makes it bloody freezing but i guess a little pain for an amazing stadium is worth it.

The development is 100 per cent on time.

City briefing will be ready for start of new season, (terrible) weather permitting.

No application has been made with regards the fixtures being away from the Etihad.

It's pretty impressive how quickly it's gone up, and the stadium should look great next season.

It'll be interesting to see when/if they go ahead with the North Stand redevelopment. I was told by someone at the club that there were no plans to go ahead with it at present. I guess they're just waiting to see what demand is like once the South Stand is complete. They obviously won't just do it for the sake of it.

Demand will rely on prices as well. The latest seems to suggest only part of the third tier will have the £299 tickets and it remains to be seen how many of these will make it to the waiting list and whether those on it will be interested if tickets become available for £500 +. The demand may appear to be high, but in practice how many will want to follow it up with a season card at £500 when they were likely hopeful there would be ones at £299 available. I think the club should offer some sort of incentive for family ticket bundles and could do that with the expansion of the North stand.

With respect, I don't know what 'for the sake of it' means.

Criteria such as image and potential increases in revenue spring to mind. As has been said, pricing can always be adjusted accordingly. Until it is built, how can the demand be fully assessed?

As I have often said, the Emiratis do love building big. Anyway, we'll see.

I agree. There is also the prestige of having a stadium that can bid for Champions league finals etc.

We will not stop until its the biggest and best stadium in Europe, only the time scale is up for debate imo.
