Probably January, my guess. Finished in December, teething out the way and used proper in the new year.

We play Chelsea and Brighton the Wednesday after both at home early January, it would be nice to have it up and running for those games.Probably January, my guess. Finished in December, teething out the way and used proper in the new year.
If not Wolves at home towards the end of the month but you'd imagine they would be aiming for the Chelsea game for the opening.

It would also be a bit of a coincidence as the opening of the new South Stand was against Chelsea.We play Chelsea and Brighton the Wednesday after both at home early January, it would be nice to have it up and running for those games.

I wonder when we last had a 62k attendance ? @GaryJamesI'm sure it won't be long before we get some 'the ardwick' little bits to top the 62k

There’s also potentially a home FA Cup game on 10 January, so a run of possibly three home games and the extra revenue that would bring is quite the incentive to have the stand finished by the end of the year.We play Chelsea and Brighton the Wednesday after both at home early January, it would be nice to have it up and running for those games.

Presumably there would need to be a test event, like they did with the South Stand, which I suppose could be a bit more difficult to organise around the Christmas period.

This time next week I think the North stand's old roof will be gone.
If we are adding 7,910 seats to the pre-existing 2nd tier, then the single 2nd tier must hold more than 7,910.
Yes sorry mate, too many numbers in my head. I used the net total rather than including the existing 2nd tier numbers on top.

I saw in some SISK documents that they were talking about a December finish for the stand but might City open transitionally i.e., add blocks of additional seating when the seats and the supporting concourse are ready? Liverpool opened sections of their stand before construction was complete.What final timeframe are we now looking at for this to be completed and ready for a game ..

Maybe not, but the club won’t want to miss out on the thick end of a million quid for the sake of being a couple of days behind or ahead of schedule- it’s all about the money.Won’t even pay the late KO fine In reality

Did you see the fire at Hotspur Press on your way home yesterday? Are there rules that prohibit filming fires like that?

Are those “hospitality” seats not already included in the revised capacity ?If you really want to get to 62k, assume the hotel bedrooms which will be used as suites that look onto the pitch will be full on match days.

Are we losing any seats in the corner by the South Stand where the new scoreboard is going ?
