up to 2,000 additional pitch side seats

What does this mean? Like literally a row on the lowest level?

3 rows I think mate.

Spoke to someone about the collar site yesterday. He Knew about the longer term master plan which involves significant hotel schemes. A ridiculously huge souvenir shop on the collar site and also an area where city fans can use facilities on a par with the players for things like 5 a side, gym, swimming etc. from what he said what we have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg. he said the development was in many phases and eventually involved building over the Mercedes garage.

I will try and find out more from him.

Bloody hell it's exciting enough already without this! Please ask your friend how long the log flume's going to be.

I'm not exactly a genius here, but does that mean that they'll be digging in and lowering the pitch to fit these new rows on?

Apparently not.

Then how will they put 3 new rows on the front?

Changing the profile of the steps at the bottom so it curves slightly...

There is a pic somewhere on here that shows it.

The whole thing is just unreal. I cant even imagine what they've got I the pipeline. Great times are ahead.
