Bit of a side note, was around the Olympic park in Stratford earlier on and you can't help but notice work being done down there due to West Hams involvement.

Wonder if they have a thread just as big on their clubs forum and if they have a dedicated poster who gives updates and pics etc. Makes you wonder how lucky we all are and how exciting times are at the min for all blues.

Don't care like, just curious. Won't let me share a picture on tapatalk.

I went for a proper look about kumb earlier before this link was posted. It seems that a lot of West Ham fans are very 'in the dark' about the conversion process as the club are being quite secretive in what they reveal. However what I've learnt is it's going to be a very 'open' stadium and won't contain any Claret and Blue seating instead retaining the Black and White from the Olympics and that's a shame. Very little artistic impressions have been released by all accounts and even a conversion video has been pulled.

If they keep Fat Sam they'll only need the sides the sides open and that'll be for big cup ties.

Says a lot that our info although a little late to come out is very transparent almost a statement in itself rather than West Ham doing it on the quiet/cheapest option.

If West Ham have any sense they'll keep Sam till the end of there first season in the new stadium as although he plays awful footy he does keep you up. Then after the 1st season in the stadium and if crowds have increased from upton park see how much they can spend and maybe take a punt on someone who will play the way the fans crave.

Much as I enjoy hearing/gloating about plans for Anfield/Olympic stadium/Cardiff, the main reason I visit this thread and indeed the Bluemoon forum itself is to keep up to date with our own developments. As an exiled Blue, I crave pictures of the changes to the Etihad and the CFA (jrb is my hero!) as well as hearing news about the plans for the collar site. Keep it coming...

City are pushing a new hospitality package based around the Crowne Plaza.

I would think this is the start of a new partnership which will tie in to the new hotel on-site

I wonder if IHG have finally found the location of their long awaited Manchester Intercontinental Hotel? Maybe the rumours are true after all?

You mean what was going to be next to Gmex? Would have been taller than Beetham Tower.
