Not so much as a white elephant as a huge, strobe lighted, luminous folly.

Anyone else think this whole project is an unnecessary act of colossal hubris?

Well if we charge the prices we do for the rest of the ground yes, first sign of not being top Dogs and the tourists will piss off, shouldn't have alienated the local support who they don't give a damn about.

It's only really in keeping with what other clubs are doing ... everyone sees Tottenham's match day revenue and wants a piece of that. Nearly every PL club is looking at some kind of expansion if they're able to.

It's more a consequence of the PSR regulations where clubs aren't allowed to subsidise out of their own pockets. I don't mind it if people staying over to watch concerts at Co Op Live ends up on our transfer budget.

Ferran's folly.

Given the nature of the posts, nobody. They all seem to just want to make sure that everybody else knows how pissed off they are. Maybe they didn't get enough likes in the post match thread? Think I'll give the forum a swerve for a bit, there's far too many trolls and angry little men about at the moment. Good luck cleaning it all up Mods.

Hey, if it's an elephant it's a sky blue one.

Yes. We should've spent the money on removing the 3rd tier from the other three stands.

Ignore him.

He's in near every thread venting at the players, the manager and the club.

No, stop dissing City’s development, the team is going through a tough time, at the moment, but this will help them get back on track

It’s weird that many on here would prefer to turn their backs on long-term future revenues in favour of short term transfers that might or might not work.

Every club that has had an hotel built next to their ground has gone down hill from that point onwards , the rags , Chelsea , Blackpool .. Chesterfield, where doing quite well a few years ago , getting to the league one play off semi final and then they opened the Casa hotel across the road , 3 seasons later and they're in the national league . We are doomed , no good ever comes of hotels and football , knock it down now and we'll soon be back to our winning ways .

Wouldnt be surprised if there was brick at the hotel gable end. They had insulation boards all taped up last week.
