I first started flying a drone about 10 years ago, bought a couple of cheap ones to get the hang of flying them. When I was competent I bought an XK Detect X380 which cost me about £500. It wasn't DJI quality but good for the money. I attached a Go pro camera and got some good footage, especially over the river Ebro Valley in Spain. Being an angler I wanted to take some videos from above of my mate playing a big catfish. One morning myself 2 mates and fishing guide set off up river on a lovely sunny morning.
When we got to the first fishing spot of the day I set up the drone and calibrated it, then I set it on hover for a minute or so to see how it behaved. All seemed fine so I sent it up in the air and it malfunctioned by flying AWOL across the river before hitting the water and sinking. My mates and guide thought it was hilarious but I wasnt amused, especially as I'd lost my SD card with some excellent footage on. I had the drone at the front of the boat when we set off and I think the spray from the water shorted out the motors causing it to malfunction.
I bought another drone of same model but that didn't last long when I crashed it into a tree. That was the end for me as it was too expensive to keep buying drones I didn't have much luck with...

The steel extension to the right of the twin tower was done pretty quick and got me wondering if we did extend the full length of the stands along the pitch how long would it take. I know naysayers keep saying it won’t happen for years but why not?. Pretty sure Khaldoon would like a stadium that trumps all others in the pl.

I've past posted about viewing the Plans/CGIs of the E & W stands expanded up and out to enclose. the spirals.
It would take capacity up to circa 78000.
The UAE have a philosophy of 'build it and they will come'.
They are currently building a Vegas style resort CASINO on a man made island off the coat of RAK.
.
Yep. Another info failure by the club. Why don’t they and CFG tell us who owns what? Lots of Blues think we’re involved in the Co-op, but that’s CFG @ 25%.
I had forgotten it was in Marca. Unlike them to praise us, usually they just try to unsettle any of our players Real want.
Central section, and the left claw.
You can see small piling rigs under both towers now. And with the steel to the right side popping up, the same will follow on the left. Removing the backstays and masts has unlocked a lot and you suddenly see much more overlapping activity in all parts of it.
Whether you like it or not this is where our fan base is now.
City is now one of the biggest football clubs in the world. Fact!
No doubt red shirt fans would laugh at that and at me
As I posted earlier, there where City fans, fans of other clubs, and football fans from all over the world doing the Etihad tour.
Groups of up to 20 people were passing me constantly throughout the day as I and other people folded up the banners and flags on the South stand, Level 1 concourse.
Outside the ground there was a constant stream of people walking around the ground, looking at the Etihad stadium, having their pictures taken in front of the Colin Bell stand entrance, going in and coming out of the souvenir store, and going on the Etihad tour, wearing their blue passes.
I was sat in my car having a drink, a family speaking Spanish were stood close to my car. They had come out of the souvenir store with bags full of City merchandise. They were taking pictures of the Etihad.
I won't post the full picture as it shows their faces. Two men and two women looked like they were from the Far East? Both women had City bobble hats on. The group were carrying bags full of club merchandise.

Not doubting you in any way, more genuinely interested. In what context and capacity did you see this, and was it before this version of the north stand plans?
I do believe if they saw the benefit and need to do it, they would just go for it.

It’s not our fan base, its people that visit the club whether shopping for themselves, family , friends who knows.Some might go to a game but it’s not our fan base far from it.Whether you like it or not this is where our fan base is now.

It is our brand base maybe. Revenue generating public, that part of this development will target on non matchdays
nice to see that they bought 2 unfull bags of stuff at United , and then 2 bags+ at City. Give it another 10 years and it'll be all City bags.Whether you like it or not this is where our fan base is now.

So you don't use the free Temu one?
It is our fan base. Why are you arguing when you didn't see what I saw. Loads of kids and people wearing City shirts and merchandise doing the Etihad tour. If you want to convince yourself those people I saw aren't genuine City fans, go ahead, but you are wrong.
It is very much our fan base, we are a global club, we have fans all over the world.
Exactly this.
Some City fans still can't and won't accept that. Just like the Red shirt fans.
Agree 100% and I find that so strange, they are bitter and resent it, simply incredible.
When you see a kid like Savinhio come from the other side of the world and in dreamland at signing for us, you realise what a global giant we have become.
What an incredible and stunning transformation in just over a decade.
