The drone video may have already been posted? The music is annoying.

I’m sad to see it go. I used to look at those gasometers when I worked round there, nearly 30 years ago!

Not sure why it was so quiet when you went, i go past nearly everyday and its busier than ever. Since we won champs league there are even more tourists hanging around taking pictures and doing the tours.

City had started open the Bluemoon cafe during the day recently as there were so many visitors but that's been ripped down now so could do with a temporary once opening to cater for visitors.

Lots of places to access by foot on both sides of the stadium can even get in from the canal, I do think City could do a lot more to make it more attractive even before the new fans zone is built.

Strange that, as I went to the temporary club show a couple of weeks ago with my bosses cousins who are from India. Their grandchildren wanted some City tops.
It was heaving, the car parks full and plenty of people walking around the ground, taking photos at the main entrance and at the statues.
There were even two arsehole rags in United tops in the shop, along with a a woman in a Spurs top getting stuff for relatives in London

The latest drone video really shows the size of the arena.

Good shots of the on-going souvenir store demolition and the newly tarmaced route, be it a little dated.





Think the concrete seating area overlooking the canal should have been longer. At least up to the bridge.

@jrb could not agree more the seating area should be extended all the way to the bridge and they also should widen the bridge over the tram line as thay looks like a bottle neck

Watch in HD. White cog.

A bit naughty. ;-) Drone. Not breaking in onsite and actual human trespassing onsite, otherwise I wouldn’t post the video.

Which car park can you use for the shop is it the one right next to it or the one at bottom of Mercer Way!
