As somebody has already pointed out. The North and South Stands need to be expanded forst before the Collar site and Etihad Campus can be started.
Neither would impact on the collar site plans
if they took the restaurants out at either end north and south how many extra seats would this give, as it looks like these restaurants or eating area are going to be moved on to the concourse
It will be easy to sell the extra season tickets in the North and South stands, but I can't imagine where the club are going to find the Corporate "Clients".
I hope the project isn't dependent on City getting firm interest from Corporate customers.
Presumably we build it, and then try and sell the extra space as you can't sign a contract for something that doesn't exist

Bingo!
Just found this on Youtube.
Substitue that stand for the North and South Stands at the Etihad. Note the stadium is still being used while construction of the stand takes place. He also mentions a *club level*.
You can see by this video how the expansion of the Etihad could be done while the stadium is still in use. Obviously the roof at the Etihad adds an additional dimension/obstacle to the stadium expansion plans, which is not evident in the video.

In regard to the proposed extra seating, I find it embarrassing that we cannot sell out most games as it is. To see empty seats when I watch the match back on the TV looks terrible and with extra seating planned I can only think that the amount of empty seats will only increase, making what looks already quite bad on TV look even worse!!
All the League games are sold out and that has been the case for 2 seasons now!woodymacclad said:In regard to the proposed extra seating, I find it embarrassing that we cannot sell out most games as it is.

Why are you embarrassed ? Happens all the time at Barca.Think they`re concerned what Real think ?? Why should you be worried about our "silent neighbours" and what they think ?<br /><br />-- Tue Dec 04, 2012 6:41 pm --<br /><br />

I think some of these Rags don`t understand this Marv.
How many times must it be said, we sell out EVERY league game. The only way to fill the empty seats is to get the season ticket horders/holders to the ground with a gun to their head. Those empty seats that are paid for can't hold back stadium expansion.
That was my thought as well. As long as the traditional fan's catered for as well, and there's additional seating for fans like us, then good luck to the Marketing Team.LoveCity said:The ENTIRE second level would be expensive seats? Do we have enough wealthy-ish fans to buy so many seats? Level two isn't exactly tiny.
