Makes me laugh when people say they’d stop going even if they had to move for one year. Could understand someone being peed off being permanently shifted for corporate but not something like this and on a temporary bases. Loads in that end don’t even have an u18 with them anymore either.
I doubt it is the final expansion. The original roof has to be sorted regardless and raising the N & S roofs while putting a new E & W roof on at the same original level makes no sense to me as it would look decidedly odd. I can see the 3rd tier E & W stands extending back at some point and the corners extended into the N & S stands direction.We’re not parrots.

Many of us would like a single tier, but overtime the general consensus on this thread has shifted to a double tier. (which I’m happy with)
Regardless, I’m sure those at City who are involved in the NS expansion do read this thread with interest, gauging what the fans would like to see built when the NS is expanded. Hopefully the fans will be consulted and invited to a public consultation so we can look at the plans for the NS expansion in more detail, and so we can speak face to face with people at the club and the architects who are involved in the NS expansion. (I do like a good stadium model) The plans aren’t only for a stand, they will include City Sauare, the Souvenir shop, and the whole area leading to Joe Mercer Way and the Coop Live Arena.
This will probably be the final expansion of the Etihad, so I hope, like many of us on this thread, that the club do involve the fans in the NS expansion plans. And I don’t just mean via a basic email survey.
Well said @jrb they seem to be a group of Manchester City who do not want to move with the times, everywhere else in the world of stadiums is building a copy of the Yellow Wall section into stadiums and filling it with there most passionate fans so help to create an atmosphereWe’re not parrots.

Please watch Khaldoon's end-of-season interview, the part you want to watch is from 2. minutes 57 secs into the video until 3 minutes 18 seconds this will answer many a question of what the club wants with the North Stand
He was on about the South Stand. The video is 3.5 years old.He's a huge fan of a safe standing area behind the goal (NS) n would even envision a blue wall, be good for the players, fans n atmo...
I don't know about the video posted, but he definitely said about North stand expansion in this summers interview.He was on about the South Stand. The video is 3.5 years old.
I was in 116 for the Bournemouth game, was a bit lively for me, was glad to get back to my padded seat next game tbh.Tbf it’s very genteel and Werthers Originals in there, I’m considered one of the ‘rowdy young lot’ and I’m fifty fucking two
The South Stand was was open 2016 this video is from 2019 so he talking about the North StandHe was on about the South Stand. The video is 3.5 years old.
