Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Does anyone know when the new TV screens are going in in the corners??

I was looking at this yesterday and I can't see how they are going to fit them, the structure that holds up the corners is basically in the corners where the screens go, unless they are hanging them from these pillars.

Took a final update set of pictures yesterday. Will post them tonight.

Stood at the bottom of block 115, looking at the 3rd tier/roof as the ticker tape, etc, came down. Hope the pictures turn out ok.

Can't wait, Jrb!

As promised, my last set.(until the North stand or Collar site start ;-) )

Thanks to you all for the kind words over the last year or so. And if the truth be told, it's been an absolute pleasure. :-)

These pictures are dedicated to My Mother. X

Inside the stadium. The new concourse, which leads to the old concourse.

The concourse behind block 115. The new singing section. Getting a bit rowdy and noisey as kick off approaches.

Before kick off. Note how compact the away fans section has become on the lower tier. Guessing, no more than a 1000 away fans in the lower tier now. Used to be 2250.

Kick off approaches and fans are taking their places. 1st set.

Fantastic photos - was in the Colin Bell yesterday and the noise from the SS was incredible.
Got an intimidating ground at last.

All of your numerous photos have been much appreciated by all saddo stadium geeks like me. To see the end result in action for the first time yesterday was wonderful particularly in view of the result. To me in 201 at the northern end of the stadium the atmosphere was improved by 100% at least, the image for the players must have been inspiring for our boys & intimidating for our opponents. It's the first time since 2003 that we have had that advantage, here's hoping it works to our advantage over the years. Thanks for all your efforts, looking forward to your next project.
