found out today my mate is working at the Etihad just now. He sent me these photos earlier;

Great photos but next time I would say you found them online you dont want your mate thrown off the job

It's a lovely day and the sun is beating down. I expect some pictures today from the guys who are working on the inside of the stadium or visiting. Dont let me down.

Judging by the size of those cranes we could be kicking down the slope towards the South Stand next season!

It's dug up and re laid every summer. Don't think there is anything special happening with it.

Same last year - take the top off and replace it every year. - Not sure whether it is re - seeded of strips of turf.

Would make a good Caption Competition this one

Tenuous link from SSC about North Stand Expansion....

Has anything been announced about the North Stand expansion?

One of my students in Glasgow asked me for directions to the Eithad as he had to go for an orientation meeting prior to starting a job with Laing O'Rourke in September.

Would Laing O'Rourke with recruiting staff for the site from September if the next phase was not going ahead?
