Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Anyone know if the 54000 capacity would of been all seated?
I think the Kippax was going to stay all standing, but with a new roof similar to the Main Stand’s.

Would have been a really nice ground, what we ended up with by the mid 90s was a bit of a mess.

When we left in 2003, two of those stands were newer than the Etihad is now. But they were shite!
 
Anyone got the artists impression of the new Kippax? It was in one of the match programmes. Not the one with the stand going all the way around from the outside. It was a drawing of the stand looking at it from the family stand perspective I think. @Gary James

The New Platt Lane stand was awful... the New Kippax wasn't so bad but we ended up with 4 stands that were completely different and around the ground there were dozens of different shades of blue seats - as you say a total mess but a stadium that reflected the chaos that had dominated our Boardroom during that era.
 
The thing that happened to Maine Road, was it had so many half finished "master" plans , that when we moved out it was a hochpoch of different stands . Let's hope The Etihad not going the same way , ie get the North Stand rebuild.
