It was a great view
Thought it was reported at £90m as it was only just short of the original cost of building the stadium which was £104m
That is what City paid to convert the athletics stadium into a football stadium, and was long term debt secured against future season ticket sales.
The rest City paid was the Maine Road ground swap.

It was mate, it certainly wasn't 50 mil
Piss off, with absolute nonsense. Look up reports, then come back with your aggression shoved where it belongs.
True or not, I don't know, but that's the figure in both main media and construction circulars. Nothing wrong in pointing that out.

But you're talking bollocks it was at least 85 million, others have said it was as well on here so stop getting your knickers in a twist
I'm not the one getting my knickers in a twist pal. I believe you. Someone pointed out they read it was 50m. You shouted it down. I pointed out that's the figure (right or wrong) still out there in various reports. I fully accept it may have been more, so calm down will you.

You need to calm down mate, all I said was "absolute nonsense" which it was...
To be fair It wasn't nonsense though - the figure quoted at the time was £50m, that has no bearing on the actual cost but @Coatigan was clearly talking about the reported cost.

Re-read the post you called absolute nonsense - He said the cost was widely reported as £50m at the time which it was - as detailed within the links in my last post. He even ended the sentence with whether true or not.
Which it is not, as those reports are there. The reports themselves might be nonsense. Not really a dispute I a can get into. But me pointing them out is not. Have a good day.
That's it, and thanks for the examples. I was not arguing it Did cost 50m. Just that, as someone else pointed out, that's what was widely reported.
I gave Pride the benefit of the doubt that he was calling the reports nonsense, until he said I was talking bollocks. Because someone else said it was 85m.
Anyway, all good, no issue with me.

One quote, I never read anywhere it would be 50 million, it was always the higher mark and I was right :)
I've literally just linked 4 articles with the reported figure as £50m. What it ended up is irrelevant in regards to the comment you said was absolute nonsense. His comment was 100% correct.
And you were wrong it was £95m :)
I never read anywhere it cost 85m. So what?

Reckon this project will break with convention within the construction industry and finish late and be significantly over budget.
Just like the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games Stadium, the CFA, the South stand expansion, the Coop Live Arena, the town hall renovation, Factory International.

When we first moved in a big ‘thing’ mentioned on the tour was that every seat was the exact same distance, in a straight line, to the centre circle.
Couldn’t quite get my head around that.
If it was true then is it the same still for the SSL3 and if so, will it also be the same for NSL3?
