Saw soem activity at the Etihad Stadium tonight, a good few autograph hunters knocking about and an Exec coach. Did the team for tomorrow train there this evening?
 
Seen this happen before, they just drive there, drop their cars off and get straight on a coach somewhere for the night apparently.
 
I didn't see any of the team but I was at the City shop today and noticed a lot of our Balkan friends and fans buying stuff and outside there was like a big inflatable bar table football game with people as players having a great time. The place was buzzing and at the ticket office upstairs they were doing brisk business, after muted non match day visits before to the shop and stadium in past seasons it was great to see and experience a difference. It really was a vision of the future and long may it continue.
 
they drop there cars off and stay at the malmason or something in manchester the night before each home game
 
It's been said that when the new hotel will be built on the 'campus' the away team will be allowed to stay in it. I wonder whether our players will stay there as well the night before a home game? Could be interesting nights ahead at the Etihad hotel!

Cheers Paul for clearing that up.

Maybe we could charge the away teams £1 million each time they stay there, we would soon rack up the dish for FFP! Lol
