North Stand Construction Discussion

With all due respect to Ricky, no.
I agree id much rather it was named after a City legend from either halcyon days like "Trautman" or more recent times although I wouldn't say no to maybe a bar in there having his name with the area paying a tribute to him and having photos of his title winning bouts and City paraphenalia etc As mentioned, a Guiness Bar selling actual Guiness would be a great idea.

We must now be at the point where the majority of work is internal. How can we follow that? Perhaps there will be some more updates from mancity.com.
 
Ricky was a lover of Guinness by all accounts.

Good luck with the latter given their coverage so far.

There's still a few landmarks externally, completion of the sails, the 3 big screens & the roof to City Square for starters.
 
With recent events, should the new end be named after a blue legend. .. Ricky Hatton.
No; absolutely not. And that's no disrespect to Ricky. He was a "massive" blue, but let's be honest here; he had no bigger connection to the club than many on here. If they're going to name the "new" (more expanded than new, if you're being pedantic) stand, then name it after Aguero. Or Mercer. Or Pep, if you don't believe in someone having to leave the club before having such an honour bestowed on him.
 
Welcome back CP.

It’s good to have you and SS back together.

It does look like the 4th video screen is being installed in the final corner. :-)

All that scaffolding can’t be for anything else.

Manager’s Corner.

Can’t see it being another screen going off how long scaffolding was up for the other one and rows of seats removed. Not during the season anyway

You might be right, but the workers can work around matches and during the international breaks.

I can’t think of any other reason why so much scaffolding is needed in that specific and final empty corner.
