Just to put the potential and recent growth of Manchester (and the Greater surrounding areas) into some kind of context, its GDP is greater than Scotland.

Not correct I am afraid. Scotland's GVA (the subnational contribution to GDP) is around £117 billion, while Greater Manchester's is about £56 billion.

But still larger than Wales'! (As are the economies of Leeds and Birmingham).

I still think City are missing a trick not having those fosters bottle bins in the additional space behind the south stand...they would make an absolute killing...it's currently just an empty space...what's the point?!

I think the police, stewards don't want to see loads of people absolutely caned during the game. One more officer required because of trouble would wipe out the profit of a few more pints.

The club have to strike a balance between customer service (ie. Getting a pint promptly at half time so you don't have to neck it) and the increased risk of potential crowd problems.

The half time pint problem isn't a new one. Unfortunately I think it's one the club don't want to solve

Irony that they are playing an advert for multi pourers on the TV screen on the concourse and 10 feet below are the bars which don't have them

Any news on when the north stand will be expanded?
Going on the timeline for the South Stand expansion, work began in March 2014 to be ready for 2015 /2016 season
If the North Stand is going to be expanded for 2017/2018 then you would think they would start work in March 2016 ?

Given l the concerts planned for this Summer I can't see that happening.

No reason why not we had concerts in the first summer of the South stand expansion as most of the initial work happens outside the stadium at the back of the existing stand.

One Direction played the summer the last expansion started.

I gather they didn't change ends at half time.
