Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Keeper!]

I can't believe the unbelievable negative comments about the stadium.

Looking at the expansion via the Sky Sport segment above, we are quite simply the luckiest fans in the world.

Our owners have spared no expense, to provide us with the very best.

The south stand looks magnificent now!! when completed we will have one of the most impressive stadiums on the planet.

I for one would like to thank HRH Sheik Mansour.....Sir what you have done for my club is beyond my wildest dreams...THANK YOU.

I think 99.999% of City fans will be absolutely delighted with it & very very few have any complaints.

You sometimes get a bit of a distorted impression on here.

Total agree with Keepers statements , still can't believe we are where we are now, in a fantastic stadium watching wonderfully gifted footballers , i thought Colin Bell would be the best i ever saw in a City shirt now i am not so sure. Everything is beyond the hopes and dreams of me a 55 year old ordinary fan , we are lucky ,blessed or both to be the club we are today. Thank you to all those who have made City much better than I ever dreamed possible and a big Thank you to Sheikh Mansour for making it possible and making it happen.

Danny Wilson (Citys Marketing director) being interviewed inside the Etihad on SSN just now. New stand looks very impressive though clearly a heck of a lot of work to be done. Mentioned that the NS would only be developed once we are confident we would fill it, so doubtful they will plough on with the NS after the RWC finishes.

Also mentioned that the away fans are being kept in the SS after consultation with the fans, is that right? Thought the general consensus was we would prefer them to be moved and the SS becomes a City only end.

Good little piece on us overall though.

Not sure the NS was ever going to directly follow on. However, to not do it smacks of insanity in the world of Sheik Mansour - it would need to be ordered and balanced, it would take a disaster to leave one side uneven.

Extra capacity brings extra demand these days, almost without exception. Combined with growth of the club it should all fall in to place in a couple of years to start. In my view the club was ultra cautious in making sure all the STs for the new stand were more or less sold in advance.

62,000 would sell out already now for a number of games, were it available.
