Didn’t realise those behind Madison Square Garden are building a new arena in London called the MSG Sphere.

ASM have failed in it's final bid to block the new East Manchester Arena. Good!

Let's construction finally begin properly without any further legal interruptions and stunts from ASM.

The AO Arena operator asked that Manchester City Council’s decision to approve Oak View Group's plans for a 23,500-capacity venue at the Etihad Campus be reviewed, but the request has been rebuffed by the secretary of state.

They should have spend their time improving security and acoustics at their concrete carbuncle by Victoria Station instead of trying to block much-needed investment in Manchester at a time when the city needs it most.

City don't have the fan base to sustain large crowds when the team is not performing. We needed to build the fanbase when we were the elite club.

Boat missed.

Need to get it right on the pitch again otherwise a stadium expansion is just not happening.

City have a fan base in Manchester alone to sustain large crowds but the club have concentrated on profits, corporates and worldwide reach, and have missed out on getting a grip of our local fans.

Also, City have lost long standing match going fans. I know bloody loads who’ve stopped going. Lads who felt their tickets got too expensive; the way the club concentrated on a kids’ theme park matchday experience left a few lads feeling disconnected and not part-of-it anymore; lads who had to move from parts of the stadium to make way for new areas like the Family Stand or corporates (one lad sat on Level 2 and had to make way for corporate areas and was told he couldn’t sit next to his mate as they could find two seats together so he stopped going full stop).

I think City have [wrongly] tried to become a worldwide supported club and they’ve not done things well with people who were already City fans or already matchgoing fans.

I think you are specially spot on about
"the club concentrated on a kids’ theme park matchday experience" .

Exactly this,keep it simple as it always was,
I was 4/5yrs old when I first went sat on the white wall around the pitch,
Started going with mates around 9/10yrs old, get there early watching the players on the pitch warming up and then coming over to the kids bit of a chat autographs,it made your day having such players doing that,book bell summerbee etc,
Were as now greeting the coach and if your luck you might touch hands with some off them,
No connection what so ever.

As for corporate.i was thinking the size of ours compared to the scum, is it on their scale or smaller( not in members size,capacity wise)

Looks amazing, just hope it doesn't eat into any potential revenue from gigs we'd make.

The Coach Wreckers were already hoasting concerts at Anfield. They've basically used our blueprint on and off the pitch to increase their revenues. Including hacking our player database.

City will get revenue from having the Arena on the Etihad Campus.

Be interesting to see if City keep on hosting large concerts once the arena is built, or if City step aside, take the rent money off OVG, and let them hold multi-date concerts in the new arena.
