Sounds good. Do you reckon you'll be able to put the video up somewhere we can all see it?

On a side note, I thought our guide was excellent.
thx for that update . with so many versions available on internet , i always look for some news on tis from the club officials ..i was looking into recently uploaded youtube videos of etihad stadium tour just hoping that in one of them , the tour guide will reveal something on expansion :P :P ..Also did the tour guide tell anything about the timeline for redeveloping the other two stands aswell to make it a complete symmetric bowl ..or will the demand for tickets trigger phase two ??
I also read somewhere that during stadium tour , there is a poster somewhere inside which shows the complete stadium plan . it shows a symmetric bowl like Bayern Munich's arena ( the screens between stands was also not present .it was a complete symmetric bowl like Alianz arena <3 <3

Would you be interested in a season ticket?
Would you be interested in a cheaper season ticket in the expanded sections of the stadium?
How much would you be willing to pay if we sign Messi?

We gathered loads of memorabilia from fans, such as Tommy Muir, and ex-players' families such and Ernie Toseland, but it had only cost £350,000 to set up - a fraction of what other clubs had paid - and it had little investment so became rundown. Nevertheless it attracted between 20,000 and 25,000 per year and was more popular than similar club attractions (at tat time such as WHU, CFC and Ben LFC when it first opened). It also won a few regional awards and was the first footballing club museum ever to be short listed for a national museum industry award.
Remember seeing a video with Bernard Halford showing the memorabilia in a store room in one of the spirals
