Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

The images shown would allow an extra 2500 seats per end - 800 per corner and then 900 in the central section. If we did both ends would take capacity to 52,500.

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

I can't help but feel a bit deflated.

I'm sorry I should know better but this seems to dismiss any capacity for future proofing our rise to the top of european football and if I am honest , I am completey underwhelmed.

I say all that with a heavy heart....

back to the Bale Negredo thread

I'm 100% certain that we will see a change in the look of the stadium to accomodate more than simply infilling but I also think they will have to accomodate / work around the existing roof meaning that the 2 largest stands will likely never be altered.

I also think the stadium will leave some of us (perhaps the greedy, the dreamers, the highly hopeful etc) less than moist with excitement - although I pray that i'm very much wrong.

(Over to you GXCity to shoot me down ;-) )

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Putting the diagram debate to one side.

Arrrgh! :-(

Didn't realize until now there was moisture on the outside of the lens this Morning. :-( Apologies for the marks on the pictures.

48 pictures in total. Sorry Ric. :-) (get some more RAM in the server that Man)

back to the Bale Negredo thread

What we have here is great, but it would be foolish to think that everything will be perfect. As they say, if you expect the best, all you can ever be is disappointed. Best to enjoy what is announced and not get carried away by believing every rumour that people produce.

Great work, mate. Amazing how many rooms there seem to be in the central facility. 12 months to go!

Quality snaps jrb; thanks for sharing. Things are moving apace!

By the way, will they be the biggest floodlights for any training complex in the country? :))

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Can I just add. I'm not trying to push my views about this onto anyone. If nothing else it's worthy of a discussion until we get to see what's inside the public display portacabin.

I've now uploaded all the pictures onto the computer. Either today or tomorrow morningI will upload and post all the training academy pictures.

Going back to the diagram. I've circled the 2 points of interest that makes me think this is a genuine diagram of how the South Stand will look from inside the stadium.

Click to enlarge. X2.

[bigimg]http://i.imgur.com/lw3KZRp.jpg[/bigimg]

1. The smaller red circle. Note the cables are visible through the vents or are on the inside of the vents/stadium?
2. The larger red circle. Note the tapered and longer seating configuration that eventually leads to the enlarged 3rd tier.
3. Note in the diagram how far the dual exits are away from the end of the stand, compared to the dual exits on the 3rd tiers of the Colin Bell and East Stand. Picture below.


Click the image to enlarge. X2 As a comparison.

I'll upload some more pictures of the public display portacabin in a bit.

If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up. :-)

That looks like the West or East Stand with the only seating change being the corner of the 3rd tier filling the corner in - surely there must be more work going on to create a 3rd tier on the South Stand?
