New Stadium

I posted a piece about this very thing a couple of months ago!

There is no way the stadium can be extended, and it would cost just as much to build a state-of-the-art stadium as it would trying to build on to the current stadium.

Cheaper to build an 80,000 stadium than to try to attach another 25,000 seats to the current configuration.

I remember numerous posters laughing at that suggestion...

I've been moaning about COMS from the off...I can't stand it tbh. It was only a few days ago I said we need a GROUND built just for us, just for football, with proper ends, proper stands, right up to the touchline, nice and steep and intimidating as fuck and the Arabs need to bung the powers-that-be to get us some sort of experimental variance so we can have REAL standing areas...and get the fecking away fans into their own proper segregated area...and change the bloody name as well (from COMS to New Maine Road or St. Marks or something) and harrass the feck out of the media and everyone else to stop calling it Eastlands as well...and get someone who knows everything there is to know about acoustics whilst they're at it (and the away fans will find their immediate area is stangely designed from material that absorbs sound...something sneaky like that as well).

If things go to plan (and that is what you have to plan for, success), there is NO WAY COMS is going to be able to cope with demand, no way on earth. Also, many people need work, NOW, the Arabs could pump a hell of a lot of private capital into the local economy and plenty of folks could find some work, even if not permanent.

Moan over.

never, never, never! the city of manchester stadium is the PERFECT name for the city of manchester football club. END OF
 
I like the stadium. Atmosphere is shite yes most of the time but thats not because of the stadium, its because if you stand up to scratch your arse for 5 seconds you're out the door.

We've way too much allocation to families that has been taken up by just normal supporters wanting to support their team, make the standing / singing allocation bigger instead, one each end of the stadium. If Hull can get their fans really up for it so can we. Fuck the away fans up to the third tier or second tier.

Take a look at some of the hardest places to win a match in football, the swamp, anfield, celtic park, nou camp, san siro, they fuck the away fans out of sight and out of mind and they let their fans stand in proper sections, not a wee dive on each end of the away support.

Er, It's Manchester City FC you plonker, not "The City of Manchester Football Club", we don't belong to the city, they don't own us, "The City of Manchester Stadium" - aside from being a mouthful, and the acronym (COMS) which sounds like the acronym of some degenerative tissue disease - says it all...the stadium of the City of Manchester, not the stadium of Manchester City...perhaps we should change the name to The Manchester City Stadium?

We need a break from the past, which includes hand-to-mouth tenants in a stadium not built FOR us, with a name not our own.
 
If the Arabs actually do intend to build a whole new stadium just for us, I'm sure they'll meet resistance.

The ring announcer called it the Manchester City stadium when Hatton was coming to the ring. Liked it.

Maybe it should be named after someone or something of importance in the history of City.
 
What happens to the current stadium if we build a new one?

Are we going to be so massive that games will be screened live in COMS2 whilst we play in the new COMS proper? Or is the current stadium going to be made into a giant cafe?
