FYI...

We're not "Council Tenants". The Commonwealth games only got the go ahead on the proviso there was a long term stadium tenant insitu post games.

ManUre had Old Toilet & Roger Black campaigned to keep the stadium as a smaller Northern based national athletics stadium.

The stadium was originally designed as an 80000 capacity, all seater stadium with a retractable roof, but the government didn't want to spend the £150m to achieve this, so essentially opted for a stadium of half the capacity minus the roof for £80m. (Don't get me started on the cost of London based Wembley & the Olympic Stadium!) :-|

A deal was struck with City where we would hand over Maine Road & spend £20m redeveloping the City of Manchester Stadium site into a 48000 all seater football stadium. Whether City wanted to buy the stadium or not, we can't until 2102.

Because EU & Central government money was used in the construction of the Stadium, there's a 100 year covenant meaning the stadium can't be sold. City have purchased the surrounding land & built the new training complex, a college & a school & are involved in a joint council project to build thousands of affordable homes in the adjacent area.

Hopefully this will fill in the gaps in your City knowledge, & stop you from being the snide, whining, bitchy little twat you evidently are...

A great post. Although I liked the rational first 80%, I particularly enjoyed the last paragraph

It is hard to stop calling these other fans cunts though isn`t it.

Not for me - they're passionate about their club and love their player, who they don't want to leave. We have been there, that's for sure.

Tony Bloom!

He’s approachable though, swings and roundabouts

BHA v City season before last was corrupt all right. Attwell that night needs looking at. I know fuck all about cooking, but I know when the chicken tastes right. It was incredible.

I agree unbelievable performance from Attwell - I’m convinced he was on the take that night.

We have plenty of experience now dealing with fans from smaller clubs. It’s a perk we need to embrace.

They kicked us all over and Attwell allowed it.
The commentary that night was also egging them on

As the BBC pundit Danny Murphy announced with pride “the way to beat City is to leave a foot in”. What a disgrace he is the scouse gimp.
