Ah, there could be an issue with sight lines from the adjacent seats in the lower tier that are at a shallower angle. There would effectively be a wall in the way.

The only way the north stand can be justified. The pay back will be paid in beer spend, improved atmosphere, 10000 young fans and an improved image throughout Europe in the biggest fan zone of its kind in Europe. I have had an update today. Literally cannot wait to see the plans.

please tell more !! please let it be one giant tier

I am 90 percent certain it will be. Also think it will start within 12 months. City square may end up partially inside!!

Found this.. Predictably, Aguero image going over the exposed stairwells.

Light Blue is what the South Stand actually is (apart from stand backside)
Black was an alternative option which leaves the first and second tiers as unbroken bowls
Third tier can be overhung second tier OR following on directly behind second tier precisely because we aren't doing the corners
There is NO option to have one big three tier high end - you either break the first tier bowl (and block the corner view) or break the second tier bowl which will create a step in the corners like at Stamford Bridge and look shit and will have reduced concourse and bar space under the stand

Thanks Steve, that makes total sense. 2 tiered option seems the best option.

When you say one tier do you actually mean two tiers as you have previously said, or is it really going to be just one tier?

1 single tier. Breaking out the ground floor slab and lower tier. The best stand in Europe.

That would be utterly fucking amazing and the sort of statement that our owner has a habit of making.
