Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

A few piccies from yesterday and this morning (what was that big yellow thingy in the sky this morning, by the way?);

By the way, you're not allowed to take pics of the academy stadium. I was told that by a couple of security blokes on different sides of the stadium this morning. They were nice enough about it, but WTF is that about?

They were probably JRBs security people :-)

Nice stadium pics though.

They can't stop you taking pics from outside.
Loads of firms try and stop you, even the police sometimes do, but they can't stop you, barring some very exceptional circumstances, and this isn't one.

One of them did actually say that to me when I pointed out that I was standing on the pavement outside the stadium (the far side from where the big kids play). He just said that he had to tell me in case his boss as watching, but that "we can't actually stop you taking them".

No you can't be stopped from taking pictures unless it's on private land or private property.

By rights City can stop people taking pictures in and around the stadium, and on the CFA. But if you're taking pictures outside that area, let's say the pavement on Alan Turin Way, nobody can stop you.

If I'm approached by security, be it at City or in town, I explain who I am, what I want to do, and why. It's not a problem. 9 times out of 10 that works. Sometimes it doesn't and I leave it at that. Overall most security guards and construction site staff/mangers are ok about people taking pictures as long as you explain yourself.

Took some pictures on Saturday. Will post them tonight.

Some pictures from Saturday.

The steel corner roof structure waiting to be lifted into place. Taken from inside the stadium(through the turnstile) and on the spiral.

The stadium, inside and outside. Picture quality isn't great.(bloody cloudy and grey Manchester weather)

One of the roof supports including cables is now finished. Note the additional terracing and seating, covered, in the East stand lower tier.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of height differential in those front 3 rows does there.
