Were they giving you a periscope so that you could actually see what was going on in the field of play?City had planning permission to add up to 2000 extra seats to the lower tier by digging in 3 rows at the front of the stands.
I am not sure whether extra seats were ever added to the front of the West Stand. Perhaps not.

I moved to the front row of the East Stand (105) when these seats were added. You could see over the hoarding but seeing the pitch markings on the far side was difficult. The seats were discounted and there were pros and cons. My seat was right on the half-way line so it was worth it. You'd see details that you wouldn't appreciate from elsewhere but at the expense of the big picture. Rain was a problem as there was no roof coverage. I bought rain-proof trousers to prevent a soaking. They then removed the seats when new advertising hoardings came in.
The photos were taken by jrb and originally posted in a topic on the South Stand construction on the Skyscraper City forum. The first picture is the foundations for the seats, the 2nd was taken a few months later of the West Stand which is what was being discussed. The dates are there if you look a little closer.
Seriously?
I was told someone within the club that it's definitely happening but he wasn't sure on the timing

For me, we've got the covering for City Square, the sails (that should divide opinion :) ), the big screens and the Sky Bridge to be completed. Probably other stuff I've forgotten.
They are still doing update of Everton new stadium Lots to complete at the Etihad externally, as Centurions as said Would add the pitch renovation the roof completion, not even the lower level of cladding yet, eventually the seat installation Lots to do around City square and the commercial building then finally the landscaping we should get reports for the next 16 months or so
Don’t worry , will be going right to the end , just a little difficult to justify daily visits at the moment, but like a few of you said there is still plenty to come and I’m sure the daily’s will return at some point for some of those.
Back there in the morning Bournemouth Blue, definitely still lots to see there yet. Cheers

My season ticket seat used to be in one of the seats that was added, and then taken away, hence the discussion above was interesting to me. If the photos are of no interest to you, you can ignore them.
