I'd read that they weren't doing that
just the other three sides

119 onwards (Colin Bell way) doesn't have them on the 3D viewer, rows start at A, whereas they have 1,2,3 then A on all other sides.

see that was my thinking too
can't have the fans in front of the bench!

I've sometimes thought that the commercial area, the glazed units, inside the mini stadium would be earmarked as a temporary area for the relocation of the club shop. As for City Sq. no idea where that may go. Although looking at it, may not take much to move it.

I might be wrong but are we going to build our own warehouse so we could get rid of kitbag it's just something I heard a while back

Re the Colin bell 3 rows - I went on a tour with Laing several months ago and someone I am sure said they were doing this area this close season. I could be wrong. Also I saw a photo a few weeks back where they had removed a few rows of seats in the south west lower tier which suggešted they were doing these seats.

I understood they couldn't add extra 3 rows at front of CB stand as the sight lines from the dug out could be affected.

Well they've put the extra bit of step and widened the entrance to Isle 125 so they must be putting the extra rows in.

I agree with you that City havent bought ASDA or ben in contact.

Its not City that would do that and having a company like ADUG do the talking gives City plausible deniability.

Let me put it another way.

Nobody has contacted Asda about purchasing the site

Temporary site the club shop ,not sure where, knock it down, and that then becomes the new site for City Square, I have heard new Store will be built in to new North Stand.

adding 3 rows in front of CB will cause sight lines conflicts with dugout, so if changes are being made to dugout it might be to resolve the issue thus allowing the 3 rows to be added later

Could use City@Home building when all the staff have moved to CFA?

the game is mid-October

Just to confirm the RUWC game at the Etihad is on 10th October 2015...........i.e. 4 months away.

It is a 70,000 sell out.......................although we will only have 54,321 seats....

that would make sense as going backwards it would hit the metrolink

Think I might pop down to the Etihad this Morning ad take some pictures. It's been 2 weeks since my last set, and 2 of the cranes have now gone, so that will give a better view of the exterior.

Pictures via my mobile phone.9last 4 pictures aren't great)

Don't ask about the camera. :-(

Part of the CFA, early Summer.

No matter how many times you go, the transformation of the area still looks amazing.
