You don't have to create a thread, there's already one.

What is it ?

North Stand expansion | Trial Event - Wed 20th May (p110)

Thank god the internet wasn’t around when the scoreboard end was redeveloped into the north stand at Maine Road. Anyway can we please have two separate threads. One for people’s concerns about ticket pricing and atmosphere in the new stand and one for construction. Please.

I wish they'd hurry up and put the pointy bit on the end of the 4 poles, it's playing havok with my ocd.

It is currently exactly where Pep wants it. Instead of up top, it is at left back of the site.

If we continue to concede for fun and slip down the league they will struggle to fill it.

Make the standing arrangements right along with affordable tickets for young boisterous Mancunians and it'll sell out and develop a great atmosphere.

There are several thousand exiled & priced out City fans who would attend games if the conditions were right !!

That is a self-evident truth. But City are not making tickets widely available and affordable.

The pressure over the last month from the fans about ticket prices and season ticket prices directly to Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon Mubarak, bypassing Soriano and the directors may, just may, make a difference? We'll see. If it hasn't made a difference we know where the drive for greater match day revenue is really coming from. That includes the expanded North stand seat prices.

The ‘temporary’ corners really do ruin the streamlined look of the stadium at the South Stand end. I think the club were probably guilty of thinking too far ahead in the future thinking the sides would be done 10-15 years after the first expansion but in reality any move to expand the sides is probably that amount of years even from now.

With the North Stand expansion they’ve avoiding doing the temp corners, probably because of how rough they look. I just hope, as some have said will happen, that in the summer they put up some screens at the South Stand end to at least cover them up somewhat.

There seats in those corners at the bottom will be below the screens position so there shouldn’t be an issue there, however, there are disabled seats higher up and perhaps they could be reallocated to the new spots in the north stand expansion.

Even some cladding and then screens up?

Managed to get down the Etihad this morning. Latest video here.

Thanks SS Skies, another great video. Looks as though they are fixing some yellow anchoring points into the open slots in the terracing.

Long term modelling of the stadium should take out the current CBL3 and ESL3, and wrap SSL3 round to have three identical stands and then the North Stand as a standalone end.

This HAS to be done soon and the Etihad made into the best and biggest stadium in the country. Looking at Madrid as an example if we want to be the best then we have to have a statement stadium.
