Manchester City supporters have been given another encouraging look at the club’s huge stadium expansion project.

Fresh footage suggests the redevelopment of the North Stand is now entering its final stages.

Man City fans handed latest North Stand update with new footage

New aerial footage from the Etihad Stadium shows major progress on the North Stand redevelopment, with the final rows of seats now being installed.

The latest update captures visible changes across several parts of the project, including new seating, roof support structures and additional exterior cladding.

Most notably, the upper tier now appears almost fully fitted out, with only a small number of seats still to be added in certain sections.

Elsewhere, work is continuing around the outside of the stand, where paving and the surrounding public areas are also beginning to take shape.

The footage suggests the redevelopment is moving ever closer to completion ahead of the new season, with the expanded North Stand set to add around 7,000 seats to the stadium.

Once finished, the project will increase the capacity of the Etihad and create a larger home end for Manchester City supporters.

FGG says: The finish line is now clearly in sight

For months, this project has looked impressive from a distance, but now it is beginning to feel complete.

Seeing the final seats go in is always one of the biggest moments in any stadium redevelopment because it suddenly starts to resemble the finished product supporters will actually use.

The Etihad already looked one of the most modern grounds in the country, and this expansion is only going to take it to another level.

Manchester City fans are now one step closer to seeing the new North Stand open for real.
