Exactly what we already have in a way.

If we had a two tiered extension then we’d have a smaller lower tier and a much larger ‘kop-like’ upper tier.

Manchester’s Olympic bid stadium?

I think that had spirals all round the ground?

Those new boards are incredibly effective, I would think the club make a fortune from them, if not they would not have been installed.

They are. I'm not disputing that.

And they probably do bring more revenue in per match. Probably not much more than 1100/1200(?) City fans, food, drink, merch, etc.

My point is, which I'm sure you got, it would be better and good of the club to reinstall those 1100/1200 seats so more City fans can watch City and Haaland from next season onwards for 2 seasons until the North Stand expansion has been completed.

agree totally but clubs don't think like that sadly. Always the balance sheet.

Frustratingly correct.

Nice stand, shit pitch

 

[HelloCity]

Got a feeling those extra seats at the front probably had bad feedback. Complete lack of cover and a not so great view.

 

[Leeky]

What are the white triangular things between the spirals (top right view)?

Only a guess, but maybe something to do with a wrap around the stadium

Wouldn’t there be a problem fitting in an athletics track? That was the reason the NS was a temporary stand originally.

No it was much bigger 80k capacity There was a suggestion that the rags would move in after the games
