Manchester is known for frequency rather than measured rainfall. The article shows the coast gets more rain which isn't a surprise, however the high rises in Pendleton affect the clouds causing rain in Manchester according to a theory 25 years ago. There is a plain before Manchester though, towns on the Pennine foothills have it worse, topography does have an impact.

100% agree with @trevorriley that getting singers together is the main objective of this new stand. Hopefully we can have an expanded 2nd tier where they can have a block bang in the middle or at the front of the enlarged section.

Also, I know this sounds cringy but would it be possible to ‘scout’ people to be part of this new section? Keep your eyes open for those you notice singing throughout the game, home & away, and ask them if they’d like to be part of this new block/tier.

I do also think branding/advertising will be important in terms of getting people to move in larger numbers though, especially from an area they’re very comfortable in. I’d personally call the new stand ‘The Kippax Wall’. It will pull at the heart strings then and fans will feel they want to be part of the new Kippax. The name also has a dual meaning - it’s our version of the yellow wall at Dortmund but also harkens back to the actual Kippax wall itself which was a well known landmark of Maine Road for us City fans. Even just The Kippax.

More like a gradual slope in there. Steps on the terrace must have been at minimum 2 inch’s. If you were short your neck muscles must have ached on the way home.

You are right of course my friend but we could do with a little less whining and whinging from a lot of people on here and from inside the club, Manchester is a fantastic place to live.

People come from all over the world to sample the famous Manchester rain, always thought they were the most expensive seat's due to their prime location.

Don’t give them any ideas!

Manchester sits in the bowl of the Pennines , hence a cloud collector .
