Mental health hub, very appropriate, hope it's big enough!

I still have sleepless nights from the FA Cup quarter Final there in the 80s, Power equalised late on and after the game was utter carnage and mayhem.
I remember that evening well, was an eventful one to say the least !
 
How will you feel about leaving the old place? A lot of City fans still think of Maine Road as our spiritual home. Me included. But let's be honest, the place was a mess at the end. 4 unmatched stands, not a big capacity, and no real room around it for extending (hemmed in all around by housing and that school behind the Kippax). The move was necessary. And Goodison is in the same boat. It's an atmospheric ground, but it's a tip.



We had brilliant floodlights at Maine Road, though!
I will miss Goodison.My dad first took me there in 1974. I idolised Bobby Latchford. I saw the great team of the 80s there. I have had to endure the very close relegation battles as well. Some great games I have seen there and some bad ones as well. My highlight will always be the Bayern Munich semi-final, it was unreal, I have never know the ground to erupt the way it did that special night. Oh! and beating our neighbours was always good. My brothers and my sister went to Goodison, as did my aunts and uncles, my cousins, and my lovely dad who is no longer here. My grandad went there and family stories tell of older relations who supported us. So it will be sad to leave the old lady. But we have the memories. The ground is old and however sad it will be to leave, we need to do so. As already stated the new ground will grow on us in time.

I know it’s only a promotional CGI video but if it accurately reflects the new stadium it will be superb.

Will make your neighbours shithole look even worse however many new stands they graft on to it.

I can imagine. Electricity generators can cause havoc if the power isn't equalised.
