Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I think we might get a few more in the North Stand if the "no new premium offer" rumours are confirmed - a little less segregation in the middle of the second tier and no away segregation in the new 3rd tier - but the 62,000 everyone was looking for could be tough as they got less seats in down the front than they were expecting

Anyone estimate the different capacities based on a replica of South Stand extension, and Mancityx's 2nd tier expansion? If there were a significant number of extra seats with the one tier, I'd go with that otherwise keep the symmetry.

We added a few hundred seats to Southern ends of WL3 and EL3 when South Stand was done, presumably we'd do the same again, so 6,300 on top of 54,700 if we went for a duplicate of South stand end = 61k. Do a WHU. make more seasoncards available at £300 to £400 and it will be full houses every week in the League at least.

Wonder if we have looked at using this for New stands

Slightly of topic but just seen the latest pictures of Liverpools new extension, what a f----ing mess, side bits hanging over the ends of the lower Kop and Anfield Road stands, some sort of square support beam across the top of the stand. Has no simetary any of the other stands, reminds me of Maine Road at the end the towering Kippax stand and other odd constructions making up the rest of the stands. Makes me appreciate our new stand and the Etihad as a whole.

That design looks like potentially a game changer.

I don't think it will affect the decision on when and how we extend the North Stand but 15 years from now it might raise the question of whether to extend the side stands and infill the corners or simply build a brand new stadium?

Spurs and Chelsea could find themselves moving into new but already obsolete stadiums. Now wouldn't that be funny?

What's the point in those widened staircases for concerts if the entrance to the concourse at the top of the stairs is the same width?

The "wall" at the top of the stairs (that backs onto where everyone stands boozing) had been took out at some entrances at the start of the season and changed into a metal wall that can be opened, to create a larger entrance for concerts. There's one like that in the east stand anyway, i presume the wide entrances on that pic above in the south stand also had it done.

Yes it was a wide entrance from the South Stand Level one for the Bruce Springsteen concert.

What the North Stand would look like with a single large upper tier expansion:

With the Colin Bell Stand expanded:

Pics I took off here and SSC. Great pics whoever it was who made them.

I'd rather have a kop end than a stand similar to the away end at chelseas ground
