Amazing how they build tall buildings at a 45 degree angle!

You mean the flat earth has got a wonky leg surely? Either that or the World Turtle is pissed again.

Guess the next notable milestone is the full removal of the existing roof. Or maybe the extension of the roof beams to their full stretch.

Can’t wait until we first see the current roof taken off and the new roof expanded one there, going to look EPIC

My dad (Red) and Uncle (Blue) were both at that Stoke match. They said they never saw a ball kicked because they couldn’t even get up the stairs to the terrace. They said lots of people jibbed in. Some even had ladders! I am 66.

There was a camera shot yesterday during the City v Chelsea Women's game that displayed the curvature of the new NS roof taking shape from an angle behind the SS goal. Really gave the stadium a new feel/sense of size.

Do you not think the existing beams will be connected to the support stanctions via the new cables allowing the load to be transferred before beam extenstions?

I do, yes. I just meant in terms of what we as spectators would find an interesting notable milestone, rather than its actual sequence.

I.e don't think many will turn their heads at the cables being attached, but the extra third being added to the beam is pretty significant.

Watched this before:



Everton's new stadium is amazing. Brilliant for their fans. Chalk and Cheese compared to Goodison.

I wonder if City have been to see what ideas they can knab for the North Stand?

Reading reports, even with only 25000 yesterday it's a nightmare to get to and into, travel infrastructure sounds worse than Etihad

Bloody hell, I didn't realise @jrb was at the game. ;)
