Behind-the-scenes: Etihad Stadium pitch progress

The dust may only just be starting to settle on City's superb 2020/21 season... but preparations are already under way for the new campaign and beyond!

It says it can 'retain and recycle 200,000 litres of rainwater and pitch irrigation' Well that's a Saturday afternoon in July usually in Manchester!

Went to Old Trafford for it in 2018 after winning a pair of tickets at work. Left at half time. Utter shite. It's a TV event that doesn't come across well live.

Same here. Went to one years ago, mate got two tickets and blagged me to go. Was sat near the top of that big monstrosity opposite main stand, players the size of ants and cockney rags everywhere. Fucked off just before HT into town for a few beers. Never again.
 
Went to a similar event - England playing lceland back in the days when England could and did beat teams like that.
The pub was full of strange looking men with hats and scarves with England/Stoke City, Northampton etc on them. Tacky souvenirs going like hot cakes by the B of the Bang and in the ground it was all high pitched squeals from boys and their mums every time Beckham went near him.
Complete waste of time and money and no doubt this match where Rooney!!! Is the big attraction will be even worse. No thanks.

I think I went to that. Was it not long after the Etihad opened? I think Trevor Sinclair was playing

Think it was a warm summers day and the best part of it was the session before and after in town. Got absolutely shitfaced and blagged a cheap room at the midland
