I hop you don't mind Rodri's ACL, I've cropped your picture closer to the North stand?

Picture credit Rodri's ACL. :-)

That's going to look imposing as soon as the sides are cladded. If we can get the North & South stands chanting in unison, it will carry to the East & CB stands easily. I can't wait for it to be full of fans, or not ;-))

Today’s video, edited on my phone sat in traffic on the Mancunian way so apologies if something isn’t right with it!

Etihad Stadium Expansion - 23rd June 2025 - another roof section down #djidrone

Great video again! We are lucky to have these, thanks to CP and SS. My guess is this section will be moved tomorrow am and then chopped up while the green crane is moved to the remaining western section of the old roof, which might be on the pitch by Friday. The remaining section down and disposed of by the end of June and pitch handed back over by the end of the first week of July. That would meet the six week window for the pitch to be relaid in time for the Spurs game.

So, capacity will increase to around 61600?
Around 365 seats in each block of the old 2nd tier?

So, a rough seat calculation of the 6 blocks on the current second tier, equates to 360 (ish) seats per block X6 = 2160 seats being added to by the expansion, which in total is 10742 seats, less 2160 = 8582 additional seats and, a capacity of 53400 + 8582 = 61,982 capacity?
Shame they can’t cram in a 100 more somewhere?!

Another fantastic video. Got me thinking, apart from removing the old roof, completion of the new roof, installation of new South stand screens, painting the East stand steel work, installation of new turnstiles throughout, reconfiguration of the Levels, Blocks, Rows, re-laying the pitch and installation of self serve bars, what exactly are the club doing to improve the stadium in the closed season ?

If you really want to get to 62k, assume the hotel bedrooms which will be used as suites that look onto the pitch will be full on match days.

I'm sure it won't be long before we get some 'the ardwick' little bits to top the 62k

It looks like they have one set of straps already in place, just some early work by the guys in the swinging cradle should see it lifted in the morning, hopefully. Good luck! Appreciate your commitment.
