I assume it would be an all-weather pitch, therefore it doesn't matter what colour it is?

Every all weather pitch I've ever played on has been green.
Maybe City want to brainwash the kids to enjoy this colour or something? lol...

Its to prepare the kids for when we change the colour of the pitch just like that of Boise State (Albertsons Stadium)

All blue pitch and all blue kit.... You won't be able to see the players. Perhaps it is so we can run secret training sessions? :-)

The power league pitches at Whalley range are yellow, blue, red, black and orange. They are absolutely horrendous to play on.

Small thing I know but with us doing all this work on the stadium is this not the chance to put MCFC in white seating in the East stand and Colin Bell stand?

An all blue pitch is fine, it will keep the traditionalists happy it has white lines

Not for me, too tacky and reminds me of the 90s, probably the worst decade in the club's history.

Agreed. Don't see anything tacky with putting the clubs initials across the seats. I'm surprised Nike didn't ask for some sort of branding as well. Although the ethihad deal may have exclusivity of sponsorship (???)

I don't think we are permitted to put our names in the seats under the terms if the lease believe it or not. Sport England paid for much of the stadium and I seem to remember that beings a Condition.

most of these conditions were relaxed when we re agreed a new deal, when we first moved in we couldnt even have our name outside

Pictures from this Morning. The steel frame is shooting up. View of the cranes, stadium roof, etc , looks amazing from inside the stadium.

Weather isn't great, and I used my camera phone, so the pictures aren't brilliant.

Weather forecast is for light rain for the duration of the match.

We are all going to get pissed wet through in 211, then possibly have to walk home because the trams stop early.

If it wasn't the first match I would probably stay at home.
