Anyone else noticed the new pitch-side seats are a different shade/colour of blue to the exist seats?

Sackable offence!

I would imagine that getting the exact 'faded by the sun' look was pretty much impossible.

Not good enough. Heads should roll.

Sun? In Manchester? In a parallel universe, maybe. You get nearly as much rain as we do!

not sure this is true tbh,we all get giddy when we are linked with new signings etc but when it all cools down and the season begins there will be times when we wont even get 50,000 especially when SKY shaft us with a wank KO time against a team from the south who bring a poor away support.Id love to see a 61,000 seater stadium just dont think we will fill it? thats just my opinion,the men itk at city will know how much demand there is!! we are growing as a club in all ways so maybe in years to come!! they would have built it along with this expansion if the demand was there today.

Many, if not most kids - 5, 6, 7 etc - end up supporting the heros they've seen winning things and that their mates support. And then they are supporters for life, like most of us are. I started supporting City in the 60's when I was that age and we had Bell and Lee and Summerbee and these guys were household names.

It will of course take time for our recent successes to filter through like this, but like night follows day, this will happen. There will be - I am certain of it - hundreds of thousands of new supporters coming through on the back of the Aguerrrrrrrroooooooo and other such successes. It may seem like a long time, but in reality a decade is really nothing and in a decade's time we'll be thinking our 70,000 seater isn't big enough, you can count on it.

The Main Blues site has a few new pictures of the stadium on their site: http://themaineblues.com/2015/07/03/pictures-exclusive-look-at-how-the-etihad-campus-is-shaping-up/.

I hope they don't mind me linking to them for everyone to see.

Pictures were taken by Andy Savage, @mcfcforum, and shared on The Main Blues website. http://themaineblues.com/2015/07/03/pictures-exclusive-look-at-how-the-etihad-campus-is-shaping-up/
