[Why Always Ste]

Looks good, I'm sure many of the horseracing brigade will enjoy that shit... keep spending!
For me, even if I won the lottery i'd still rather be in my seat.

Football for me is not about this. Each to their own.

Why do the artist impressions never feature bald middle aged blokes with beer guts?

Because they don't want to give the reality - that if you keep spending your money on the beer whilst watching City - it will make you bald and fat.

Without dragging out an old discussion, this sort of restaurant/buffet type offering was what was described to CB Level 2ers when the move to executive seating was first mooted a few years ago. Instead, they basically moved the bar and food till to a new location for a few hundred quid more.....

There got to keep us peasants in 93:20 away from The Lord and Lady Joe's!!

Same here. I did the stadium tour a few seasons back (4 or 5, maybe?), and you get to see the inside of one of the boxes. Very nice, for sure. But I wouldn't have one, even if I could afford it.

Posted these over on SSC but thought Blues on here would appreciate this - a nice comparison with 14 years ago when our stadium was originally being constructed for the Commonwealth Games...

Enjoy
These were extricated (not easy) from the archived Manchester 2002 Web site http://m2002.thecgf.com/ the 360 degree photos that were taken back in 2001/2002 during construction and fit out for the Commonwealth Games - in chronological order...

Ground Level (as was) April 2001

Third Tier (as is) April 2001

Ground Level (as was) May 2001

From Front of Third Tier (as is) May 2001

From Back of Third Tier (as is) May 2001

Ground Level (as was) July 2001

Third Tier (as is) July 2001

Ground Level (as was) August 2001

Back of Third Tier (as is) August 2001

In front of old Legend Lounge April 2002

Back of Temporary North Terracing April 2002

These were all designed to be displayed using a 360 degree viewer which is why they look a bit weird

A couple of the South Stand ban-jani sent me to upload for him

And the final photos for tonight demonstrate why lowering the pitch for the poor buggers spectators in the new three rows is unlikely to happen any time soon....

These show the undersoil systems being installed in 2002/2003 in the conversion from Athletics to Football - can you imagine trying to move all of that lot!

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Wow so those in the first three rows will have a similar experience like watching City away at Derby in 1977ish.

We were stood below ground level in that paddock by the corner flag of the net that Tueart scored an equaliser which was disallowed (Clive Thomas esq).

At least they will be seated!! lol

Great pics :-)

Thank you!!

Nice pics, so we have a whole new section to get some banners/flags on. If anyone wants to get in there, you will need to be quick
