Just took a few pics, not much change but I will post them.
The scaffolding or whatever it was has gone and the area where it was screened off.

That's more what I woukd have expected to see, almost like a shaftwall build-up from the inside. Maybe it was previously a full height protective barrier, if workers were fixing studs to the top and bottom from the inside.

I wish they'd hurry up and put the pointy bit on the end of the 4 poles, it's playing havok with my ocd.

Make the standing arrangements right along with affordable tickets for young boisterous Mancunians and it'll sell out and develop a great atmosphere.

There are several thousand exiled & priced out City fans who would attend games if the conditions were right !!

That is a self-evident truth. But City are not making tickets widely available and affordable.

The pressure over the last month from the fans about ticket prices and season ticket prices directly to Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon Mubarak, bypassing Soriano and the directors may, just may, make a difference? We'll see. If it hasn't made a difference we know where the drive for greater match day revenue is really coming from. That includes the expanded North stand seat prices.

The ‘temporary’ corners really do ruin the streamlined look of the stadium at the South Stand end. I think the club were probably guilty of thinking too far ahead in the future thinking the sides would be done 10-15 years after the first expansion but in reality any move to expand the sides is probably that amount of years even from now.

With the North Stand expansion they’ve avoiding doing the temp corners, probably because of how rough they look. I just hope, as some have said will happen, that in the summer they put up some screens at the South Stand end to at least cover them up somewhat.

There seats in those corners at the bottom will be below the screens position so there shouldn’t be an issue there, however, there are disabled seats higher up and perhaps they could be reallocated to the new spots in the north stand expansion.
