Come back and say that when ST prices rise by 20% and a Matchday ticket is £80 a pop !What perfect owners we have.

Looks a great bit of kit, how many lenses do you have?
You have to bear in mind that there’s a good possibility that both side stands will be extended, so I wouldn’t worry about the finishing for now.Agree.
Especially this. It looks really awkward and completely out of place. I really don’t like it. I hope it’s just the way it’s been done on the cgi?
It reminds me of the back of Factory International.

Wait until the new ground is built, you simply ain’t seen nothing yet.You have to bear in mind that there’s a good possibility that both side stands will be extended, so I wouldn’t worry about the finishing for now.
Can you explain your thinking, what you would do differently, how and why ?I like the concept and I get what the club want to achieve, however the plans from a design point of view could be a lot better imo.

I think any fans posting that it looks too boxy/dated/not that good etc could consider that there are many things going into this part of the ground i.e. hotel, fan zone, shop, museum, food hall, sky bar. That's quite a number of things to squeeze into one end. Fair enough if it was going into a side of the ground but it isn't.
I did really like the extension to the south stand initially but in the corners it doesn't seem to have been finished as aesthetically pleasing as it could. Difficult though as the original stadium finish drops down from 3 to 2 tiers at the ends. The stadium design might allow for a 4th tier on the sides that may improve its looks but that doesn't seem a priority at the moment and I'm not sure the original plans had that in mind. Would a roof lift allowing for fourth tiers to the sides work...enabling 3 tiers on the ends?
Maybe those of you who work in structural engineering can enlighten me.
Anyway the planning looks to be in the final stages and I'm sure City will do us proud. That sky bar looks pretty amazing and loads of City fans want a noisy imposing stand to roar on the lads. Boy do I miss the Kippax and so far that end looks fairly scary for the opposition. I'm sure it'll be done really well. Hopefully the working class fans won't be forgotten in the pricing structures. I'm looking forward to it being finished. Onwards and upwards blues.
Matchday tickets are already creeping to that level.Come back and say that when ST prices rise by 20% and a Matchday ticket is £80 a pop !
They were going to call it The Agueroooooooooooooooooo end, but the stand is not wide enough for the signage.they’ve got to rename it “The Aguero End” haven’t they?
