@eliudprom Plan Manchester City reveal stunning images of how the Etihad Stadium 

Manchester City have released more information on how they plan to extend the Etihad Stadium's capacity from 48,000 to 61,500.

Architects have removed the stadium's roof to show how they plan to add two new tiers to the 11-year-old ground in an ambitious plan.

City fans won't be exposed to the elements though, the architects have taken the roof off in their drawings to show exactly how the extra tiers will be added. If the plans go ahead, it will be firmly on top of the stadium to protect supporters from Manchester's elements.
