Maybe the light isn't at the end, but towards the bottom on the support and beamed up to the end?
If it was then surely they would be easily replaced, and we'd have done it by now.

Well, yes, but it cuts both ways... surely they'd have designed it to be replaceable in the first place?

Maybe (hopefully) they've just not bothered because there's some improvement down the line with the expansion? I hope so at least, as the stadium looks better at night (imo), but could look totally stunning with some more dramatic blue uplighting.

I can't remember how many bulbs are out... just the one? I must at admit, it's annoying when you see one out though!

Yeah the stadium looks great when all lit up but more led screens etc on the exterior would look immense. We are still privileged though blues.

I think there's 2 or 3 left from memory, can't say I really look that often. Yes it would be good if they were lit, but its not that important in the grand scheme of things.

Are the third tiers of the Colin bell and East Stand being extended slightly towards the new South Stand?
Yes an extra block of 225+ seats at the ends of the 3rd tiers.
You can see the extra block on either end of the East/West Stand 3rd Tier on this view

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Anyone else seen where they've extended the steps five and a half seats in at the end of the tier 1 rows. At least I assume they've done it all around the ground (I'm right at the 110 end of 109, and they've done it there).
According to the stewards, they are making the exits wider, so it looks as if anyone in the last 6 seats of any row in level one will have to move.

Just for concerts apparently.

Wonder if they will ever put blue lights at the top of the masts again.

This has been asked many many times but nobody seems to know the answer.


That's the trouble with City, no plan B!
Someone (might have been Stony) posted about this a good while ago. Seems they need a special crane or rig to do this and there are only a handful of these around. So it's not worth getting one in just to change a couple of bulbs. So we might have to wait until they've all gone before we do it, if we do it at all.

Should just use that big crane to do it while it's there, just get a bloke on rope to dangle from it, no probs :)

That's how they've assembled the roof, not dangling from a rope but suspended in a cage, dangling from a crane ! Expect to see Danny Forster up there !
