Used to be a great Cafe that plus you could get a beer, the site has missed that daytime place to go for a brew and something to eat...roll on the next chapter :)

Went there several times, loved it.

The Cafe upstairs?

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

The back of the North stand.

The 3 different types of trial tress that will be expanded around the stadium have taken really well. The one closest looks the best.

Is there any plans to have a temp outside stage area of any sort for the coming season?
