I heard this a while ago as my brother knows one of the architects. I think may have posted something on the old thread about it, but the plan was to develop a skin all away around the stadium which would increase the concourse spaces/hospitality areas.

If the Colin Bell and East stands are being enlarged upwards, they will have to be enlarged outwards as well, which would mean incorporating the spirals into the stand in some way.
It will be interesting on how they plan to do this. The cable supports on top of the spirals will cause a massive problem I think. The two end stands where pretty straight forward due to the supports being quite far back. The spiral roof supports look a lot closer to the two side stands, building upwards could be very limited. Then again, I'm not a structural engineer so I know fuck all.

They won't need the cable net once the east and cb stand have new roofs on will they?

Not if they did them at the same time...
Find it hard to understand the idea that the Etihad is ugly. It's beautiful!
Totally agree what a great stadium both inside and out. At the swamp and Anfield they can't even put any decent screens In as they cram so many seats in their is no space to hang them without obstructing current views from seats at the back of all the stands. Yet aren't both these stadium classed as iconic ? Looked in the dictionary and must have changed the meaning of iconic as it should mean "old and shite".

That's a good point (that I'd not considered anyway), if they do the North stand first as more or less a mirror of the South stand then the CB & East stands would most likely have to be done at the same time later on. Logistics nightmare anybody?Not if they did them at the same time...

from what I was told the two sides were only going to be minor extensions, and the roof would be raised to make it uniform.
