[Why Always Ste]

Cheeky pic of the new tier.

They have exactly one month to finish it.

I'm struggling to work out where the away fans will be segregated in the three tiers?
I'm wondering because I'm stood in 111, right next to the cut off staircase in the corner, and it looks like we would be alot closer this season to the away end?

Away fans are spread thinner over three tiers.

Cheers. hopefully shrinking the tiers will allow us to hear the blues in SS more to continue the songs.
For years they've started songs and it hasn't spread around the ground due to the away fans starting their own and us not hearing.
At times we've been singing say the Zabaleta song in 111 whilst in 117 they're singing bluemoon, with the away end singing their shite.

Took the pictures(20-30) yesterday as promised.
Unfortunately I won't have access to my pc until tomorrow.
Should have the pictures on Blue Moon about/after 6pm. Keep checking back.
Apologies for another delay.
PS. But it's worth the wait. The South stand/Etihad looks great! :-)

Is the new stand finished yet, looking at the sterling pictures it still looks like theres seats to go in yet.

Deliberate ploy from the club... if there's no seats the MUEN can't get their red pen out!

Speaking to Laings - this is like a military operation to get ready for the season - imagine Challenge Aneka x 10.

A lot still to do.

Gotta love blue moon we've come so far as a club we miss the countries most expensive signing and spot some missing blue seats !!

I reckon it won't be 100% finished in time. It will be ready in terms of letting the fans in to watch a match but they'll be quite a few final touches still to do on the roof, internals & exterior (signage etc).

My first game as a season ticket holder was spurs at home at Maine Road in 95, Kinky's debut and the first game in the new fully completed kippax. Although it was open it was nowhere near ready, the concourse was pretty non existent. I remember things being slowly completed as the season went on, just in time for our slide down the divisions. Now I know we're light years away form that in terms of ownership, professionalism and budget but I can see something vaguely similar happening with the new south stand. There's no way it won't be ready but as ManCityX said the finishing touches may not be there for another few weeks after the Chelsea game. I'm like a caged animal, can't wait to get in my new seat on the third tier.
