I was watching a City DVD (c.2000) the other day where David Bernstein was waxing lyrical about the prospect of COMS. There were grand blueprints of a developed surrounding area, there was talk of it's own metrolink like it was part of the package and not a distant whim. It looked marvellous.
The stadium is superb and slowly improving with time but the rest of it is shite and Manchester City Council are getting away with it. Expanses of unused land at the front, a monument to council incompetence with the B of the bung (sic).
NO metrolink seven years and counting since the opening of the stadium. Issard Kingdom Brunel used to knock up huge viaducts for fun in the 19th century with little more than manual labour, and yet the council can't even keep the front of the stadium weed free.
They're still taking the money every week though aren't they?
It's time our owners called a meeting and told Richard Leese and the other small time bastards in the council to put up or ship out because frankly they are holding us back and dragging us down. And I think City fans should apply pressure in everyway possible to remove MCC's interest from our football club.
