PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[mancboy]

New 100,000 stadium. Looks like a Circus big top. Wonder when all the animals turn up. Clowns are already there.

they cant have animals their luke shaw will try and eat em

100k stadium means another 25k empty seats during Europa League nights.

Not as uneasy as you utdmad. You are 14th.

Ok Marvin, it’s a fair cop. I shouldn’t have joined the forum on the day it started. It’s been a hellava run.

Knobhead!

Blasphemy, I know, but I think it’s an impressive looking plan that will siphon big games and big events away from the Etihad and the pockets of our club. THAT may help their FFP/PSR to our detriment, especially when it gets a Champions League Final as soon as it’s built!

I actually think that having the roofline pulled over exterior sections of the ground will provide significant outdoor space for pre-games, have fans lining up in dry conditions, etc, etc.

I drive by the old Olympic Stadium in Munich fairly often and it still feels like an iconic structure.

I think most modern stadiums are extraordinarily impressive, and while the construction at the Etihad is impressive, the stadium is getting a bit of the Frankenstein treatment Maine Road got.

I’m a big fan of symmetry in design, and I find the exterior attachments being built at the Etihad to detract from the experience of the traditional “bowl” and roofline. Now, I understand the best stadium in America, which is SoFi Stadium in L.A. isn’t symmetrical and has the same kind of “stretched fabric” tent look of the new Swamp, but it is spectacular in its execution.

The hotel and fan zone at the Etihad don’t look to have been integrated as aesthetically as they might otherwise have been.

How exactly does this fit in with the 115 charges thread ???

What we thinking then - international break for an announcement?

Well there doesn't seem much point if its endless negativity

 

[Micky Blue]

Should we temp fate and start a thread of how we’re going to celebrate when we beat the PL on these charges?

 

[halfcenturyup]

I saw that but I then checked and she is sitting on the independent commission panel but you've not heard that from me !

Lucky fucking lawyers. I've seen her photo, she can sit on me anytime.

No. There’s no such thing as “tempting fate” of course but leaving yourselves open to ridicule is a pretty daft thing to do.

Any sign of white smoke from Big Steve's chimney ?

Christ, I’ve heard some euphemisms, but that’s a doozy…

 

[Strangerepublic]

Have given up on seeing anything happen until page 13225...

 

[Maly]

Yep. City could have built anything in any shape, and they chose a mishmash lego set that looks like something my 5 year old would have made, with a blindfold on.
Iconic it will never be.
Such a shame, that.

Lol, wtf are you on about? You do remember that it was designed for the Commonwealth Ganes right?

Or have a missed a huge dollop of sarcasm from your good self?

Please keep to the subject of the thread, namely the PL charges that the club are facing. If you feel that you have to discuss the rags' proposed new stadium, please do so in the utd thread in the general forum.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Please keep to the subject of the thread, namely the work going on at CITY'S stadium. If you feel that you have to discuss the rags' proposed new stadium, please do so in the utd thread in the general forum.

I think you're in the wrong thread, Jim :-)
