Re the energy problems.. Through a friend of a friend I know about one company that was unsuccessful in the final tender process. Don't know who finally got it, but the fact someone didn't would suggest a deal has been done. So fingers crossed for some news soon.

Goal reporting work to start on North Stand after the Stone Roses concerts. Not sure if this is news or just info from this forum.
They mentioned 62,500 as a capacity. Previous plans suggested 61,500

So does this mean actual work ie knocking stuff down & building, like we saw last season, would start after the Stone Deaf's gigs ?

Yes - would expect they will be slightly faster this time with the project as they will have learnt significantly on phase 1.

I hope it's true, the south stand looks top but if as rumoured the north stand expansion makes it one tier, it would surpass it IMO. It would absolutely dwarf the pitch.
Say this happened, would our ground be bigger than the swamp? :D
The Etihad would still offer around 14,000 fewer seats than Old Trafford, but the club harbour long-term hopes of expanding both the east and west stands to dramatically increase the former athletics arena’s capacity.

They can make it bigger - once the roof is off the East and West - the catenary system is not in the way so the south stand 3rd tier can actually be expanded so it is wider. Our ground has the potential to hold low 80,000s I am told if fully developed.

Be nice if we could get a bit of 'safe' standing in the future, & one day break our own attendance record. That would make a few people piss, more than us winning the league.

I know especially if we use the Dortmund style upscaling - about an extra 15k people when standing is allowed. Christ, exciting times for our club.
