I happen to think Gasometers are a thing of beauty. We should deffo keep it.

Bit of imagination and they'll scrub up nicely:

TBH I have got a some cracking step ladders. Unfortunately they won't fit in the car.

Security would have a field day.

"Alert!"

"Man on step ladders taking pictures."

"Proceed to the back of the site."

"Apprehend said person, ladders, and possible camera immediately." :-?

"F*** off!* (legs it)

Buy a fire engine. Ladder and escape vehicle all in one. Sorted.

Looking at the pictures of the gas work frameworks, I really hope they do stay and get tarted up a bit. It could look really good!

No need for a fire engine - my last motor had a perfect photography deck on the top with built in ladder! Sadly I sold all those bits (to fund my 2011-2012 seasonticket - what a bargain!) so can't go help jrb with his photography... :-(

Perhaps a Parrot AR Drone 2.0 might be a better bet ;-)

Back to Holt Town, any chance of keeping the framework of the gasometer when the site gets developed?

Why on earth..?

Heritage landmark. Do something arty with it, for example:

or

The Bluemoon picture just looks like The Death Star hahahaha

So expanding one end adds 6,000, adding both adds 12,000 = 60,000 in total. So where does the potential 70,000 capacity come from? Add a 4th tier to the sides or just keep building up one monster tier behind one of the goals?

Filling in the corners I'd imagine.

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

no corners to fill - the new third tiers at the ends come all the way round to meet the ends of the existing third tiers on either side - remember this from the email from the club?
