Noticed in this pic from <a class="postlink" href="http://etihadstadiumgram.tumblr.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://etihadstadiumgram.tumblr.com/</a> a frame is appearing over the right-hand side of roof... is that the wall of the new stand or the new roof starting to take shape?

its the frame that will be used to hold the roof into place whilst they are building it :)

really impressive sight as you approach from the south.
when finished it will become an iconic piece of architecture particularly as so close to a major road.
the end reminds me of the bernabau, imposing and bloody high. Brilliant.

what will go in the corners where the holes are now?

Nothing. They're leaving those holes as they are to allow the breeze into the stadium, to aid the drying of the pitch.

Also sunlight as this is south facing; it will not be the same at the North stand development. :)

If the corners were filled in so as to join up with the CB Stand and East Stand, how many more seats would that add? I don't know why that wasn't considered. It would look miles better IMHO.

Let's cheer ourselves up. :-)

Taken yesterday before Burnley.

It really is a massive stand now.(Arf!)

Also took 2 concourse shots showing some of the new supports.(Level 1, Block 111)

Click to enlarge.

This shot really shows how big the expanded South Stand is/looks.
