So the proposed seats that are going in at ground level is that a definite, not heard that before? And when will that start?

Go on then one more, here is a montage from two PDF's showing the Existing Basement Level (Lower Tier) and the New Basement Level (Lower Tier) showing the additional three rows in place

When you stop to think about it, it's all a bit nuts really.

I was watching Argentina play Ecuador the other day, and just started laughing when Kun and Zab came on to bolster the side. I mean, these two play for us; Kun is one of the top strikers in the world and he plays for us. Then you have Negredo who can't stop scoring for Spain, one of the best international sides out there, and he's playing in sunny Manchester for God's own.

To top it off, I find myself on this thread, chuckling in disbelief at the legacy that is unfolding in front of our eyes. Fucking beautiful.

It's fucking insane. What do you say to it all? The whole thing is unbelievable. From that crazy day back in 2008 to all this. The gift that just keeps on giving

Thanks for the explanations here DiscoSteve, please don't refrain from posting any more stuff!

Just added to the planning application....

Last observation picture.... for those like me who are now sat in 911 Club Seats, here's how the space behind you is going to change.

Loss of Food and Bar and narrowing of concourse to be replaced by that big pink section labelled North East Sports Bar - one presumes through guarded doors to keep the riff-raff out...

Given the positioning of the sports bar in the south/north stands it would appear likley the level 2 north/south stands may go the same way as east and Colin bell stand level 2 ?

expanded corporate facilities.

Isn't the sports bar at level two South Stand the replacement for the existing corporate facilities (Legends Bar) there, and I guess the same in the North Stand.

So are the 'new' seats at the front definitely going in?

 

[mostonbluemark]

Looking at the proposed expansion plans, in particular the future tie up of the East and West stands to the new enlarged North and South stands, there are around 36/40 rows as far as I can determine on the new East stand. I'm not sure exactly how many rows exist at the moment so if someone has a penchant for doing maths can we determine how many extra seats would become available as part of that expansion and what would that take us up to. Challenging I know but someone might be able to do it.

I was under the impression they were extending the Legends Lounge but I could be hopelessly wrong on that one.

Does anyone else find that level too dark and oppressive? Compare and contrast it to the other level.

Hopefully it won't be that dark when it's completed.

Some things I've picked up on reading the docs:

- Expansion will cost the club £85 million according to the construction plan

- If approved construction will start in spring 2014. Will be completed by August 2015 - just in time for the new season.

One's for the Mancini inners
And the other's for the Pellegrini splitters

I'm liking the dark level, it's full of fit Milfs, the light level is full of mingers.

That's my constructive contribution to this thread.
