Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

4th tier Think of the difficulties in doing this It would require a new roof all around the stadium the logistics of doing that are huge would probably require the stadium to be closed for a year whilst the old roof was removed and a new one built IMHO a new stadium would be cheaper and easier which is the course that should have been taken before extending the south stand.

Yeah but we could play our homes games at Oldham would be great then when people said Emptyhad they would have a point because it would be empty

While I was at the game last Wednesday. I got talking to a OAP in the Colin Bell Stand and he said to me that he had heard that the club is thinking of building a 4th tier on the stand opposite the Colin Bell stand. So I was wondering if anybody has heard anything. This is supposed to be done after the extension to the North Stand has been completed. In about 3yrs + from now.

your answer is in the original planning app - there was a low res concept diagram showing all four stands extended and for the east and west it was just an extension upwards of the existing third tiers - i.e. NO fourth tier. The roof is not an issue as it is already clear (from the South Stand) that the existing roof will ultimately be removed and replaced

Got into a argument with a guy at work, As the Etihad ever been only half full for a City game ? I can't think of a game that as had less then 25'000 ?

I was one of the 19,578 that saw City thrash Barnsley 7-1 in the League Cup in 2004

In front of 21,207 we got tonked by Arsenal in the next round where they had a very young Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie playing for them ISTR

Bloody hell I can only just make it to the very top as it is! Where we like to sit and survey the world without some twat behind us. Oh to be 25 again!

Perhaps they will put in a lift.

And that match had just over 20,000 present.

? ??? as I said 19578 and 21207 both way less than the 25000 figure questioned

I went to both, from uni in Aberystwyth, the second game me and a mate (an Arsenil fan) were 80 minutes late. An expensive loss.

17,200 in the UEFA Cup against Midgetland (or something like that) was, I believe, the lowest for a City first team match at The Etihad.

All league games have been well above 30,000.

We've not had a league crowd below 30k since 1998. I think the lowest league crowd at the Etihiad is around 35-36k
