If there ever was an odd shaped and looking ground, it was MR in it’s later years before it was demolished.

The new Kippax stand looked shit. The new Platt Lane stand looked even worse.

No doubt by the time Swales had finished it was a very odd looking place, but I still miss it.

Actually, I went to an open day with my dad just after the new Kippax had opened. It was at the top of the Kippax in the corporate bit. We went up in a lift lol. Anyway, there was a 3d model (about a metre long) of the whole ground redeveloped to match/mirror the new Kippax. It looked brilliant.

Wow!

Would have loved to have seen that. I wonder if there are any old pictures floating about?

Haha brilliant. Imagine that today… three little lads up on the top of the South Stand roof at the Etihad during a game!

Could have quite easily have contracted asbestosis. ;)
Mind you didn`t a couple of people get arrested for trespassing after getting onto the East Stand at the Etihad a few years ago ??
At the time there was no game going on.

Bloody hell only just seen the video of my above post with those lads/blokes scaling the Etihad !!!
