Hate to say it, but man that's disappointing, re the sails. Face fixed all over, not even edge finished. And a great potential whistle gap too, if that's how they will be fixed. Maybe some might have a lighting strip inbetween the two panels fixed together, the way that edge is left.

Wonder if they might build the brick (for the sample only) the conventional way, if the bottom setting out is anything to go by.

Can I ask what is causing your disappointment? Could this not just be a stage in their construction as you say?

Don't think so, not for that part of it. If I thought that I would have held off saying anything, believe me.

My own opinion of course.

Wasn't Ovett slightly before Coe and coming to his end? I had always thought Steve Cram was his main rival, for me Cram was a proper grafter who got there with hard work and ability.

Nope, rivals over 800 and 1500m for a few years.

Odd that a possible development in Trafford is taking over this thread?

Can we talk about City in this thread and leave those who want to talk about United to the United thread (or general Stadium Developments thread)?

It's always good to know what our nearest rivals in Trafford are doing and have got planned, and to compare, 'every now and again'.

Back to topic.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to download my Adobe Elements 13, so I've just cropped some of the pictures and tided them up a bit.

Some of the more interesting hoardings. Some close up.

The Pep hoarding is brilliant. :-)

The white sails(?) look very underwhelming.

They look like cheap white MDF panels.

You'll see when you have a look at them before or after the Ipswich match.
