Great pics Imber50.

It's amazing how they've achieved the smooth "sweep" of the roof between the existing stands and the extension to the SS.

For the building engineers amongst us, is this as difficult as it looks? Looks pretty impressive (to my untrained eye) how they've maintained the clean roof lines between the old and new..

Agreed, considering the height difference, I think it looks pretty good.

Are City actually going to develop the area round the stadium itself? I'm assuming something is going there as it's just derelict land used as carparks at the moment.

I, I'm not complaining.

Much better than a continuous roof, which looks pretty boring in my opinion.

I'm guessing like a new stadium the new stand will need to be trialed to pass all the h&s certificates? Will this mean we will have a pre season friendly at home?

Yes. We're still waiting to see the proposal/s. Leisure destination and other uses.

Whenever I see it, it reminds me of the top of the Statue of Liberty's head.

Not having a go, or anything.

When you see references to the collar site, that's the land being discussed. What's going on it is up for debate at the moment but a big luxury hotel/shopping/casino complex looks likely. (maybe).

If it ends up looking anything like this render, it will be stunning.

Love it..

Hardly anyone with a coat, with a sky like that, in Manchester.

Obviously fake.
