Looks a big job jrb!!

As posted a while back was given the same info mate, also by somebody in the know. He did confirm same configuration as South Stand externally but internally he stated it will be different without going into detail.

I'm sure Renaker can handle it. ;-)

After all, they are currently constructing 4 towers in tbe city centre.

2-4 Chester Road? Will pop down to the public exhibition.

Have you downloaded the No1 Spinningfields app yet? 3D tours. Well worth down loading it.

BTW.

Does anyone remember the 5 phases at City?

1. Club.
2. CFA.
3. South Stand.
4. North Stand.
5 Collar Site/Etihad Campus.

Is that correct, or was it never confirmed for certain? Just rumours?

Mate was at the athletics on Saturday and confirmed what I thought watching on the box, he said that even when it's got it's football cosmetics on it will still look like an athletic stadium hosting football. He said it reminded him a bit of the Munich Olympic stadium that Bayern use to play at.

Bottom tier pushed forward and a lot closer to the pitch. That gap between bottom and top tiers could be an atmosphere killer though...

I think there is supposed to be another tower going up next to the Deansgate Metrolink / Deansgate Locks/Bars. Opposite the hacienda flats. Do you know if that is going ahead?

I think that is part of the First street development, its going up at the minute but I think its only 7 storeys.

The West Ham stadium just looks weird. Pity cause I like the Hammers.

It was on the other side. Did a google street view, found the hoardings which took me to a web-site and got this image. They've not started work yet. Had hoardings around the site for ages.

One Direction played at the Etihad the summer they started the South Stand.

Shit. How did I miss that?

The 28 storey axis project been around for a while. Incredibly tight footprint - would imagine an absolute nightmare to build. Plenty of sky scrapers imminent (that word again) in Manchester.

It is absolutely horrendous as a football stadium. It's all new and shiny now , but Give it a few years once the gloss has worn off amd I can't see it being a much loved home ground for West Ham fans .

But it's completely different when the athletics is on.

For the football season the entire lower tier moves inwards and covers the running track to bring them next to the pitch.
