I think the under 18s will now play on one of the pitches at the CFA, not in the mini stadium.

The under 21s (and under 19s for the UYL) will continue at Hyde until the mini stadium is ready, which will hopefully be in time for the Byern game.

A couple of years ago, I pulled together the following from the consultation document and planning application about the use of the small stadium:

The 7,000-seat arena will be open all year round between 09.00 to 23.00 hours with matches played at given times that will be either mid-morning or mid-afternoon starts and will in particular be used:
- For evening matches involving the youth team or Elite Development Squad, typically, on 2 days per week (likely to have in the region of 1500-2000 spectators, although there could be up to 5000-7000 for particular fixtures on about six to eight occasions per year).
- For Saturday morning games, involving crowds in the region of 1500.
- For matches with up to 200 spectators during daytime, up to five days per week, similar to current practice at Platt Lane.
- For cup finals and prominent fixtures for local clubs and schools providing a minimum of three uses per year to a maximum of ten (10).
- By an MCFC-approved amateur/community Club for specific matches

I assume the Saturday morning games are the under-18s. I believe they think that these games could pull decent crowds if played in the small stadium and want to give the kids a chance to gain experience of playing before crowds.

Now that the last ever EDS game has been played at plat lane, what will happen to that site?

Do we own it or does it belong to the council?
Council, there was no restriction on people viewing the training hence the first team moved toCarrington.

Drove past today and took a couple of pics. Shows just how big the new stand is going to be.

I'm confused. I don't see anything on there to suggest they are moving in. OK, there's a picture of Platt Lane, but there's no accompanying text at all.

Unless I'm missing something really obvious (which I might be, knowing me)...?

The official MCFC Platt Lane Twitter account have replied to someone's tweet asking what will happen to the site:

"@PlattLaneMCFC: @franko413 still be providing coaching and pitch hire to the general public"

Manchester FA have moved in to it, as I said they would months ago.
That was my one and only bit of ITK I've ever had or ever will have so I'm making sure I remind people.
