Nice. Did you go over to have a look at the mock-up panel for yourself?

 

[HelloCity]

Huge gaping hole area where the tower foundations are covering a decent sized area. Pictures don’t show it but that concrete foundation is 6ft+ high.

Going back to the discussion about relocating the away fans from SSL3 and filling the SSL3 safe standing section with City fans.

Brentford.

Wasted tier.



Inter Milan.

Safe standing seats on SSL3 sold to City fans. Apparently it filled up later on into the game. Not my picture. Taken from another thread.

City fans standing at the back. Left corner next to the away end.



Regarding Brentford’s support. Brentford fans on SSL2 and SSL3 could have probably fitted in to blocks 110 and 111, meaning both SSL2 and SSL3 could have been full of City fans. 1000+ safe standing City fans on SSL3, and City could have made more money from City fans on SSL2.

I always thought that if the away team take there full allocation and don't sell them they have to pay for them anyway.

I thought that as well. Maybe it’s has been revised? There’s no way Brentford would sell 3000 away tickets.

My daughter who’s 14 said last night. “They’re taking their time with this stand aren’t they.”

Did you tell her not as long as Utd are taking to employ a decent manager.

Did you give her a fatherly talk to put her right? :)

I would avoid the use of the word 'sky' in any of our naming conventions - don't want that association with City - might as well have a Talk Shite Bar!

Is Sky Blue alright?

not sure exactly which Foundation that picture is looking at but it is probably 3m Deep, very heavily reinforced Beams and Pilecaps
