They can obviously start removal of the covering but they will need to remove the 3 temporary platforms and the cherry pickers I would assume ???

I think they will be lifted out with the luffing cranes through t hole left in the roof.

Very impressive looking. But Christ, look at all those empty seats.

It was taken after 80 minutes.

Anyone got a decent AI tool they can use to create this to see what it would look like… and no I don’t mean someone just copy and pasting the badge on to a picture of the new tier, ha.

Be good to see a realistic pic what it could look like.

Bit messy but you get the idea

Thanks for going this morning, mate.

The sheeting protecting the pitch won't take long to come off. Once they are up I'll go on the tour. Hopefully by the end of next week?

No problem jrb, I enjoy seeing the changes just as much as you guys. The size of the stadium is immense. Cheers

Something like that would look genuinely amazing!

I don't know why, as it's only a roof, but it looks great. A massive(arf!), sweeping, curve of a roof at the home end, which allows everyone else inside the Eyihad to see the full size of the 2nd tier with 12,000 City fans in it.

Does anyone the exact capacity of the current 2nd tier and the new 2nd tier combined?

Those hospitality seats; I presume, for what they'll cost, that the club will be supplying the necessary oxygen?

Am I alone in thinking that the roof beams may need a little bit of fine tuning, altering the tension in the support cables / rods? I suppose it could be the perspective but beams 8 to 14 should be a mirror image of beams 1 to 7. On the great drone footage from @cpoverview and @ssskies beam 7 seems to be a little higher than beam 8

It might just be because the shot is at a slight angle and it’s impacting the perspective.
