So what happened with all that bollocks talk I have seen on here so many times that City cannot buy The Etihad because of some Sport England funding......Wembley had Sport England funding when it was re-developed and do not mention the fucking Millennium Dome!!!

It's not that we can't buy the stadium, but that Sport England would get a huge chunk of the money, effectively taking it out of Manchester. We decided to continue to pay rent to Manchester council insteadSo what happened with all that bollocks talk I have seen on here so many times that City cannot buy The Etihad because of some Sport England funding......Wembley had Sport England funding when it was re-developed and do not mention the fucking Millennium Dome!!!

A London NFL team I wonder what Spurs think about that and the effect on its planned revenue.
Would be a good enough reason for me to make it happen!

The point is if we buy the stadium the money goes back to Sport England NOT sport in Manchester where the rent currently goes.So what happened with all that bollocks talk I have seen on here so many times that City cannot buy The Etihad because of some Sport England funding......Wembley had Sport England funding when it was re-developed and do not mention the fucking Millennium Dome!!!

It doesn't take much more time to go from central London to Birmingham by train than it does to get to Wembley - and it can be done in comfort as well.That was the one Birningham City council were offering. Spot on for everyone apart from the FA.

The perfect site in Birmingham was found. Slap bang next to the airport with motorways, left, right and centre, and a rail hub for easy getaways. But it had to be London...
The short list of 5 cities was narrowed down to 2 Wembley and Manchester in 95, then Wembley was chosen in 96. it Dragged on with it as a dual purpose stadium for football and athletics, then in 99 a design was revealed with no athletics and the FA had to pay back £20M of lottery money. In 2000 the new government ordered a review, as part of that the Sports Minister asked if Birmingham or Coventry could be a venue however this was never feasible due to the FA having £120M of lottery money invested in having bought the old Wembley. So Birmingham was never really an option The FA were and are obsessed with Wembley
