No, the entire club shop building. It was built using directors funds, which they wanted back. We were introduced to Alastair MacIntosh, and introduced the concept of a sale & leaseback. Everybody happy - directors got their cash back, investor got MCFC as a tenant and we got a nice fee. Buying the landlord out was one of the first things Garry Cook did post takeover.
I got tickets for the Rangers cup final off the back of that deal along with a few others.

Liverpool having to play their first few home games with a reduced capacity following delays and are then having to have a phased opening of their new upper tier extension. City did very well to only ever have to reduce capacity during the South Stand build by 100s rather than 1000s.
They will probably be looking at a capacity reduction of at least 2,000 on last year numbers until they can get it open

Wasn't there a big pub called the Bradford. They had bands on and stuff. I went there with colleagues from fairy engineering when I got taken on after my youth training scheme in 1985.

I work as a bus driver mate. New buses cost 250 grand and the new hydrogen buses are going for half a million each. How many do you think City should buy? Pretty expensive to have them sitting around for 13 days out of 14 for home premier league games but I suppose with cups and Europe they may get used once a week for 10 months of the year.

Good point, but wouldn’t they get used for all the concerts on too?

I hadn't thought of that but wouldn't that put them in direct competition with the bus companies? Wouldn't they need licenses from the council to run new routes? Just ideas but the coop live is another possible revenue stream for buses I agree.

New pitch is down. No lines draw yet, but it looks great.
Sorry, no idea how to add pictures from a mobile.

City haven't put the 1000 seats back in, which is a shame. There could be a 1000 more City fans watching the home games for the next 2 seasons until the North stand expansion is completed.
