Posted by Jim B on SSC PL thread.

The first CGI shows the back of the KOP styled end behind one of the goals.

Something City should look at before extending the North stand.

I also prefer the east elevation to the west (no renders yet):

Even so, I'm not sure that I would agree that it looks like a sterile office building even from the west:

Impressive.

Best stadium in Europe the new Spurs stadium, that's if it looks as good as them pictures. Makes me wish we could start all over again by building a new stadium.

just got to pay for it now

I really don't see how that would be the best in Europe, impressive none the less but even with the shiny renders here, it still looks very grey and sterile overall does it not ?

Got to hand it to those Germans, still the best IMO.

I dont think Spurs' new stadium looks that amazing but its far better than the swamp lol!

Could do with a splash of colour imo

Noticed this on wikipeida:

See also: Ashton, Stalybridge and Liverpool Junction Railway
To match demand for a 365-day attraction, a 60,000 larger stadium, more non-footballing events and revitalised economical activity in east Manchester - Manchester City Council have considered opening a station on the railway line next the Regional Athletics Arena to provide further capacity. A new Eastlands Railway Station would sit on the Ashton, Stalybridge and Liverpool Junction Railway - a short line linking Ardwick to Miles Platting. The line is still used by freight but not by passenger services which stopped such services in 1995.

The line would have national connections and link the Etihad Campus to Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly if the southern junction was rebuilt. A new Eastlands Railway station was discussed as part of theNorthern Hub phase 2 plan in June 2010.[27]

I haven't seen much mentioned here in regards to rail. Any news on the possibility of this?

Nothing of note.

But while we're all rightly having a moan, I wonder if our plans have stalled off the pitch as well as on it?

It doesn't look like the North stand expansion is going to begin this Summer, if at all. And the Collar site and Etihad Campus proposals around the stadium seem as far away as ever.

When you consider that amout of construction currently going on in and around the city centre, it's disappointing that our expansion plans and development plans for the land around the Etihad have come to a grinding halt. :-(
