Photos from lunchtime today - although still no money shot, I think you can see that there is now a hyyyyooooooge space underneath the new roof

Those stairs look like they're going to be a bit of a crush on 90 minutes - similar to 2nd tier end stairwells

Great pictures Steve!

I hope we switch things round and attack the new end in the second halves of matches now rather than the family stand, surely it'll give some sort of psychological advantage to the players....

Cheers Steve; great snaps!

Looks like they haven't took the wrapping off it yet. They must have seen this weekends weather forecast.

Are there going to be another set of stairs in the remaining space of each section? Seems a bit wasteful of space otherwise. I remember somebody posting blueprints but can't find them.

Just being pessimistic but the slope on the stand where they join god help the poor buggers underneath in a typical Manchester downpour

That's why they install drains mate.


After all the flapping on here saying how much of a bodge job it's going too look, I think it's turned out great.

I hope your right mate that's a hell of a lot of water coming at a hell of a rate.
Don't forget they managed to build the new bridge which people have said dosnt drain properly.

Told today the steelwork for the cornwrs is very much a temporary structure - only designed for 25 years max and no direct connection between the stands. The East and west stands are happening folks!!!

Yeah, it said this in the design doc.

It said they were like slices of cake, seperate from the main body,which are designed to be pulled out when future expansions take place.

The steelwork is now permanent in the corners. The proposal for temporary steel was designed out of the final scheme due to building control as that steel has to support the jumbotron (screen) as well as the external facade.

All the steelwork on the pictures from the outside is permanent also, it's supporting the roof!

I've not misunderstood and the east and west are not part of any further expansion plans, only the north and that is a few years away.
