Years ago, my mate used to enjoy editing Champ Manager more than actually playing it.
He used to spend hours updating player ratings etc and then not even play it.

This is like that ha, we are 1-2 up away at Madrid and JRB is more arsed about posting pictures of a stand ha.

Each to their own I suppose.

TBH I bailed out at half-time.

As a rule I don’t watch City on the TV.

It’s not good for my health.

At least I watched the 1st half and saw the goals.

I posted the pictures and kept myself busy during the 2nd half.

I watched the highlights after full-time.

Great result!

Well done City.

Definitely not good for your health after watching the referee’s performance, never mind the rest, boys did us proud, still love your photos

I assume the rooves on Colin Bell and East Stand will be the last bit - i.e. pulled up like the South Stand. As currently it looks feckin awful.
Sorry it's been so long since the planning etc. I genuinely can't remember :(

You assume wrongly, there are no plans for the roofs to "pulled up", in fact an impossible task New roofs would be the option but, somehow doubt this will be done due to the logistics and the expense

With resect to the look then its looks fine to me, could be better and not as iconic as the original design, but that went when the South Stand was extended

March 2026 Main stand
Summer 2026 everything else

I think both are later than that

Things may of changed but this was the timeline as of when I posted this in August

I had sacked off all the sports channels years ago for the very same reason and just kept the minimum entertainment package.

Upgraded my BT broadband week before last, they offered me all the tellybox gubbins for £25 a month for the next 6 months so I thought why not.

So far Fulham and Real Madrid - having the option to watch again for the rest of the season is going to shorten my life!

Stand will be later. More like late April early May, and then its a case of whether to wait until next season. Others are still roughly correct.

 

[HelloCity]

Arsenal in April could be the perfect time to open it, especially if we’re in the CL 1/4 final as well.

Why don't they just wait until next season, open them all at the same time, and give them time to sort everything out regarding ticket issues that are going on

 

[DiscoSteve]

one imagines there will HAVE to be a test event where they'll want to fill a goodly percentage of the public areas - that has tp happen before fans are let in the stand for any match - for the South Stand it was done in the summer ISTR

Possibility of some big fixtures if we are still in with a shout of the PL and UCL, in which case they will try to get the stand open be it on a limited basis. If they can get toilets F&B open on the concourse and the route up from turnstiles with the services operation then its possible. Maybe even use them as test events with limited numbers

Right side. 3 floors of office space in the right claw currently letting. Picture of the water drain pipe from the roof. Closeup of the Brickwork.

Don’t get me started on the brickwork. ;-)

Thought the hotel and city square were later than that. More towards the end of 2026.

 

[ssskies]

Just back from the etihad, finally work on the left side as the drone looks at the seats

Could tie in an event at the co-op, allow people to view/use the facilities, maybe even a women’s game

Take it, the screen is going in front of this.
