I can't see it. I'm going to the Women's game today - I'll have a proper look and take a photo.

There's a vague outline in the 16 squares above the "D St"

A better photo hopefully.

If @jrb was doing his job properly we wouldn't need to be taking our own photos. Has he been sent to Peps fat club?

It's like one of them pictures you get and if you stare at them long enough you can still see fuck all

 

[HelloCity]

Literally a phone photo taken while passing by at 30mph in a car and then zoomed in! Haha

Perspective always makes it hard to see through a fence/mesh in photos.

Won't bother again! :(

I was going to go along to the women's game as well, but I'll wait for your pics instead

Think I can just make out that theirs something behind the meshing in the area mentioned which doesn't appear to be anywhere else behind the other meshing . Hopefully a better photo may make it more evident.

I hope not, that's what @ManCityX got wrong. jrb uses it as ballast to get a steady shot whereas ManCityX was zooming by in a car (you weren't driving were you?).

Nah. I went by there.

Two work men working up there so it's definitely in place.

Like I say, pic taken in a passing car at 30mph and then zoomed in. Tbh you can still see the edge of the scaffold quite clearly if you know where to look. It goes three squares up from the D of Etihad and three squares up from the T of stadium!

I guess my win here will be when the badge is put up ;)

 

[HelloCity]

I feel like a UFO photographer now. It looked more real in person. Honest!

Some more as I went by. I can definitely see it on there, although probably wouldn't have noticed it myself without the work men on it as I went by the first time.

I really do appreciate anyone putting information up on this thread but I think your definition of 'clear' and my aging eyes are miles apart.

Of course.

I guess we won't have to wait long for me to be proved correct :)

Just glad to be discussing our own stadium again rather than West Hams, thinks it's a pretty good effort seeing it was taken in a car. Got to go up to the ticket office tommoz so will have a looks what's going on and see if theirs anyone about that can confirm if it's for the new badge.

It's not really here.

Speaking to a friend this lunchtime about a mutual friend of ours (sadly a diehard rag) who works for the company that was involved in fitting out the South Stand. I am told that our mutual rag friend was at a meeting this week probably in relation to the North Stand fit out. :-)

I took a look today - and a few photos. You can't see on the photos but the original poster is correct there is a large scaffold erected on the inside above the Etihad Stadium sign and it looks like we are going to be getting a badge. Good news.

Sounds like a badge going up which is great also believe that a lot of internal work has been done in the South Stand

Thank you.

Thank you.

Been to the ticket office this morning so had a good luck round the ground, as correctly posted workmen are up on scaffolding behind the mesh in the south stand and was able to get confirmation from another workman on the perimeter that the new badge is going up and also all the blue lighting on top of the cable support posts have or are being replaced. This should be a great improvement to the exterior images of the ground especially for night matches.
