My daughter took her rag boyfriend to a CL game earlier this season. It was his first visit to the Etihad and he couldn't believe how far ahead of old toilet it is0

Totally agree but they are not the standard bearers of quality on or off the pitch, lets be honest ;)

Spurs and now Real have shown we are falling behind, not sure our owner will want that to be the case for long.
 
Me and Rammyblues went to see the Stones at the Swamp before covid. We sat in that shit wooden stand named after that Sir bald headed twat. I'm 6' 2" and there was zero leg room not just for your legs but your arms, impossible to move without affecting the person sat either side of you, in front of you and behind. Fortunately when the Stones came onto the stage everyone stood up and it was a great gig. Horrible stand to watch a footie match from I bet though. What a shit hole, but it's never seen on the TV!!

I was in their East Stand at the same gig and what a gig that was with Richard Ashcroft as the warmup. Possibly my fave gig of all time and the weather was perfect for it.

At least I was in the top deck of the newish East Stand, but even so, compared to the Eithad, it's cramped on the concourse and the seats.

Have sat in the Pisscan stand too for the Rugby League, I'm not tall, but I think I developed deep vein thrombosis, couldn't believe the lack of leg room, narrow seats and the weirdest steps down to the seats, they vary from barely changing depth, to a 2 foot drop.

Old Toilet is a proper shithole.

You put a smiley, but you’re absolutely spot on. Apart from past success and size of fanbase, United, the actual club itself in the here-and-now aren’t, in any measure, the standard bearers of anything.

We should be looking to better the best out there. Spurs new stadium, Madrid and Barça’s developments of their own stadiums.

The Etihad is being left behind now, I think even the Allianz is being left behind.

Current PR noise is about the redevelopment of the Swamp. I cannot see City being behind the curve and are probably keeping their powder dry with the Arena already in hand.

Problem for the rags is money and the possiblity of over extending their finances so are likely to be trumped by our owners in any development of the Etihad.
