Cheers for the credit mate - just to clarify that these aren't my pics and they were forwarded to me by a mate
 
looks superb
It does mate. Looks like it has a pub feel to it and it's great that they're finally utilising that huge space which came about because they extended the South Stand.

The owner of Mary Ds should take note - the back room of that gaff has had about £30 of investment in the past 2 decades and it resembles a fucking school canteen!
 
Think he did, I remember the intertoto cup game against Total Network solutions at what was then the City of Manchester stadium. I was in awe of this stadium we had with no bits missing in the corners and all the stands matching. Tickets that you scanned yourself at the turnstiles, it was witchcraft.

I never take our stadium for granted compared to what we had at Maine Road, it’s a thing a of beauty and one of the first landmarks people see arriving at Piccadilly train station is the South Stand towering over Beswick. Looks better than that shit cow shed in Stretford.
It was a UEFA Cup game ( not the intertoto cup which was a meaningless trophy, bit like the Watney Cup etc).

Yeah you are right, we absolutely walloped them in the first leg, which made the return leg at the Millennium stadium a non event. Didn’t they end up getting 6000 people in attendance?

Just checked -
10,106 attendance.
Huckerby and Negouai scored .
7-0 aggregate win for City.

The Inter-Toto cup was not a lot in itself. There would be three ‘winners’ but it did offer a qualification route to the UEFA Cup.

The problem was that it started pretty well as soon as the previous season ended. This was to provide something for the Toto people to bet on. That made bad news for any teams from Scotland - barely even into pre-season training - who would likely draw teams from countries such a Sweden who would be in the middle of their season.

It was merged with the UEFA Cup many years back without much change. The Europa League and the Europa Conference still starts very early and still benefit Northern teams (Including those from the Republic of Ireland) who play the summer season.

Which block is this at?
 
Just received this off the club:


Manchester City has unveiled a redesigned concourse area in the South Stand of the Etihad Stadium as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance the matchday experience.

The Club has carried out extensive works over the summer period including a complete redesign of the concourse area at Gate M, to create multiple spaces for fans in South Stand Level 1 and Colin Bell Stand Level 1 (Blocks 114-125) to meet, eat and drink prior to kick-off.

The new concourse area has varied seating and standing areas, multiple screens for the best views of the matchday entertainment on offer, and a DJ booth which will play out music and set lists selected by fans.

In addition to creating new entertainment experiences, the new concourse area has upgraded food and beverage stalls which will enable quicker speed of service prior to the match and at half-time. Fans will also have the option of using new self-service vending machines to purchase chocolate and snacks.

The new concourse areas will remain open after full-time for those who wish to extend their matchday experience at the Etihad Stadium.

We look forward to welcoming you back for the first home match of the new season tomorrow.
