North Stand Construction Discussion

PS. Just read the above. :-)

CP & SS.

If either of you are doing another drone video this week, can either of you please zoom in close enough to see if the fencing around the perimeter of the pitch, next to the players tunnel, down the side of the CBS towards the North stand, has been completely removed. Thanks

If it has I will do the tour on Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather, which I will keep an eye on over the coming days.

If anyone has any specific requests, pictures or a video, please let me know and I will try and do it, depending on where the tour guide takes us, and where we go inside the Etihad.

I sit in Block-211 Row-G (soon to become Block-111 Row-7).

That is where there is scaffolding for what people are saying is a new screeen, I would be obliged if you could get some close ups of that area. Many thanks for all your visits and pictures I really look forward to them.

It is etfe rather than glazing (for wider thread benefit, not being pedantic), but I would guess a while yet. Last I saw western side still has work to do to the cladding around the connection points, and there is a tower climber there. I would imagine they would want to get the cladding onto the face of the stand up as well before starting the roof steelwork. Also might depend whether the brickwork gets done manually like at the back or whether at the front they stick with pre-cast panels as intended, in which case probably after that too for the maneuvering room.

I could of course be wrong, goes without saying.

I think it will be one of the last phases of the project, as they need to get the hotel and office block finished beforehand to let the big cranes and cherrypickers do their work. My guess is the new City Square won’t be finished until early 2027. There is still a lot of lifting needed for the skybar, the luxury suites and the roof walk, and the new City square fanzone is a useful storage area.

Sorry John , only read this after I had just visited, but there were people on a tour stood at the players tunnel entrance.
Video will be up in an hour or so
 
Great video! I never thought the roof was wonky, but can’t understand why the ground-staff aren’t working around the clock to get the pitch ready.
 
I think it’s beginning to look really good as it all takes shape. I just hope I can live long enough to see the finished article.
Just love Liddle ol’ Ciddy.
