Manchester City progresses North Stand project

Manchester City has progressed its North Stand project as the new steel structure was officially attached and bolted to the stadium.

Given the artist picture in that article. Looks like they are finally going to get round to putting new blue bulbs on the roof support poles.

Yeah the club do tend to seem to round down in their reporting for some reason. But the capacity as approved is pretty much 62k, think it is like 40 seats shy of that. If yiu include the hotel rooms that look onto the pitch as suites, it crosses the 62k mark. Similar with the extra seats, juat shy of 8k, but instead they tend to say 'over 7k'.

Thanks for the rest of that. The GA+ bar being restricted to a 300 capacity as in the latest statement by the club might make things somewhat interesting for that block of seats. I don't expect it to move though. But as I have always said, i don't think that will be what makes the stand not work.

61,958 is the projected capacity

Yea, excluding the 12 hotel suites that look onto the stadium. Which at 4 a room, is 62k for easy numbers.

At the Etihad.
I've done a comprehensive construction picture roundup.
Including pictures of the huge mobile crane that is onsite to do the lift.
Details of when the lift will take place.(CP Overview)
I'll post pictures and lift info this evening.
Out until then.

Lots more terracing in place from what I could tell when I went past before.

That’s how I saw it on Wednesday, including work on side walls. I’m just a bit nervous that I fell for an optical illusion of extra terracing by looking between the 8 story hotel / office block / museum.

Thank god for the updates on here because there’s next to nothing coming out of the club!

Still not done? What the fuck are they playing at? I'm guessing it's the unions taking the piss, safe that Labour are back in Downing Street. Bring back Rishi, and the job will be done by Christmas.

Didn't Spurs make their capacity 62,001, to beat Arsenals' 62,000?

No, Spurs much more than that. Emirates is 60,704
