See what I mean about the cable net which I mentioned the other day? It’s not there - even though I know it is!!! It’s baffling:-)

Ffs my seat is two rows further back (rowH) than shown on that second photo. Looks like I’ll be behind the screen with no view of it. Also will impact on my view and banter with the away fans on L3 of the South Stand. Gutted!
Think that’s sealed the deal to move to the new North Stand.View attachment 159812

Same, I'm on row j. Good fun with the away fans when they bother bringing the 3rd tier

The photo is taken from the 2Nd tier which is why you can't see it

The method used to drop the old roof is so clever. I suspect it's much quicker to dismantle once on the ground

So it is. Lol.

Once the old roof is completely down I might do the stadium tour just to get some pictures of the new North stand and new 2nd tier from inside the Etihad. I'll try and breakaway from the tour for a bit. ;-)

I'm doing a GoFundMe page. It's only £26. :-) (only joking)

Cracking picture. Gives an idea how big the new tier will be!

I’m intrigued to see how long it takes to scrap a roof section.

It would be nice if the 2 red shirts had one in any corner .

One of them just added another tier to a stand including seats that sit behind and facing parallel to the goal line and still didn't add a screen

Posted previously about the clever use of the temporary support by including a pivot to ease the removal of the sections meaning less working at height they have also used the yellow cherry picker tracking as structure to support the lift and removal Lots of thought and planning has gone into this project

Modern civil engineering is extraordinary, human ingenuity at it's best, it's amazing the span of our species mental capicity, from the genius to the drooling divs and morons that infest social media

Not long by the looks of the machine currently ripping that 1st section apart

They need to be dismantling each section within two days or so, do they not, if the cranes are going to be off the pitch within a couple of weeks.

As you say.

The SISK guy was saying they were learning new techniques and new ways of doing things as the build goes along.

With an apology to the Who: “Meet the new roof, same as the old roof” just bigger and higher.
