Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I bet West Ham wish they could convert their ground properly and get rid of the running track and temporary stands. The people in charge of building what was then the City of Manchester stadium did a very good job of building something that wasn’t going to turn into a white elephant like so many Olympic Venues.

Didn’t Howard Bernstein, Chief Exec of Manchester City Council have a lot of involvement in the deal?

He’s a big blue of course!

£9 for a fucking hotdog is pretty special. £6.50 for a warm can of beer in a plastic cup is pretty special as well.

Working man's game, my candy ass.

Your what?

If you avoid the hot dogs? a fan could soon afford a season ticket at West Ham. IIRC, they were offering 2 year season cards for about £300 a year when the stadium open end.

Missing out on a football ground hotdogs should be compulsory LOL


Instant salmonella :)

Think he did, I remember the intertoto cup game against Total Network solutions at what was then the City of Manchester stadium. I was in awe of this stadium we had with no bits missing in the corners and all the stands matching. Tickets that you scanned yourself at the turnstiles, it was witchcraft.

I never take our stadium for granted compared to what we had at Maine Road, it’s a thing a of beauty and one of the first landmarks people see arriving at Piccadilly train station is the South Stand towering over Beswick. Looks better than that shit cow shed in Stretford.

Get the south stand done and the exterior done properly ( Led illuminated etc) and our stadium is stunning and is up with the very best.

I remember in the first season at CoMS when we played, I think it was Southampton at home, and I walked past one of their fans who was on their mobile talking to someone and I overheard them say “the stadium is absolutely f’n amazing”.

I agree Keeper. I had to laugh when the earlier poster associated the eating of a hot dog at the match with the “working man’s game”

Those carts remined me of mid week night games at Maine Road or the speedway/stock cars at Belle Vue!
