Great picture, stand and the whole ground will look amazing when finished. Was there any mention of the TV screens going in the two corners ?

I asked that question and nothing has been decided yet. There seems to be a wait and see policy. The guys running the building works from the City side would like to go ahead and straight away do the north stand extension, in which case the two screens from the north stand would be moved.

However the club are seeing how seat demand goes before committing to the extension.

Would make sense to put one of the north stand screens in the south stand till they make their mind up

If we land all the transfers we're after then they'll need to kick on with the North stand.

not sure this is true tbh,we all get giddy when we are linked with new signings etc but when it all cools down and the season begins there will be times when we wont even get 50,000 especially when SKY shaft us with a wank KO time against a team from the south who bring a poor away support.Id love to see a 61,000 seater stadium just dont think we will fill it? thats just my opinion,the men itk at city will know how much demand there is!! we are growing as a club in all ways so maybe in years to come!! they would have built it along with this expansion if the demand was there today.
