That looks pretty good to me. I'd hope we'd have the roof covering all the front seats in Manchester though! Thanks for the picture link Boris. That looks pretty good to me.

Can't see how they are going to increase the capacity to the stadium without looking like an eyesore i.e. Old Trafford/St. James Park with all different sized stands.

Another tier could be added or just extended to the current lower tier as the pitch is quite a long way from the seats.

Both the North and South stands could accomodate an added tier without too much disruption but to enlarge the East and Colin Bell stands would be impractical. If the expansion does go ahead, I hope they increase it to 61,000 as it would then hold more than the Emirates.
