I said a couple of months ago that I took a Japanese student on a tour of the stadium and he said that there was to be a hotel and casino on the site where Asda is...

Definitely a casino in the pipeline.

How can the casino be given the go ahead when the government knocked the plans back a while ago?
I take it it won't be a super casino type..

The super casino would have been five times the size of the biggest in the country at that point. The legislation approving it never went through, so anything we build now will presumably be much smaller.

At your place of employment are the staff routinely told about what's happening. If so you're one very lucky employee.

By the way, it's mentioned in a thread on the EDS sub-forum, but the MCFC official Twitter feed posted earlier that today's under-18 game against Stoke would be the last played at Platt Lane. The next under-18 game is at home to Blackburn on the morning of Saturday 29 November, so are we to presume that it will be at the new mini-stadium? The official site still says 'TBC' for the venue.

There's due to be an under-21 game against Benfica next Friday (21 November) which the official site has down for Hyde. However, the under-19 game against Bayern on Tuesday 25 November is also stated as 'TBC' in terms of the venue.

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.
