Apologies if this has been answered before, but what will be the purpose of the sections protruding from the front of the new roof?

That was the reported target, yes. 'End of the year'. January has been mentioned, mostly with thinking they might wait till the festive period is over to get people in.

January doesn't look likely to me, there is talk of using the last few games as test events with a full opening next season. Stand including back of house should be done for Mid March. Seats complete for mid November.

I still think the on the pitch performances dictate when it opens and what that physically looks like.

I know concerts have been discussed as part of this thread in the past but I see Take That have confirmed one at the Etihad for next summer now so be interesting to see how that will work in terms of stage layout etc.

Robbie will be on the left.

Robbie will be on the left.

Any chance of anyone standing right back?

Since we only have 2 tiers at the north stand, that could be a bit difficult.

I said at the time that it would all end up in tiers!

I'm surprised there isn't more seats in place by now. When did they start installing those "safe standing" seats at the end of the stand; 3 or 4 weeks ago, now? Very few seem to have been installed since.

It is about 60% done and could be around 75% on sat.
