I agree but the rags should pay for the whole thing and charge the FA per match. That way there is no tax funded subsidy.

It's all typical smoke and mirrors from them...again. Tell the tabloids that they are planning a new stadium, then sit back and watch the media take over. Tell the media that Bellingham signing is imminent and he's just having a medical, and watch the resulting wankfest from Slimey Stone and the others.
Once the new season starts we'll hear no more about it. The educationally-challenged plastics all over the world -mostly Asia- will be loving it, saving up for their SkySports membership renewal even as we speak.
It's a rag-ritual as old as time itself, promise the world but deliver nothing.

I thought Wembley was City’s home ground as we seem to play there every other week.I don't get the whole Wembley of the north thing, surely Wembley is unique and a special place to go as its no ones home ground, so few teams get to play there

I’ve mixed feelings about rag Wembley but 50,000 Blues celebrating an FA Cup win there would be very, very funny.

It’s not really a progressive idea.A Wembley for the north is a progressive idea but I still think England and cup finals will be in London.
It’s what Maine Road was nicknamed, when it opened in 1923.
The rags, copying other teams' thoughts again.

I wasn’t alive in 1923.

Not many of us were, but that doesn’t mean that the nickname didn’t exist,I wasn’t alive in 1923.

Maine Road was the original 'Wembley of the North' with the largest capacity,85000,of any club ground in Britain.
The attendance of 84569 remains the highest ever at a club ground.
Manchester City....making records since God was a lad !!

You nailed what I was about to sayIt’s desperate stuff from the raggies fanfaring they might be going to a 100k capacity stadium, Radcliffe knows it wires straight into their insecure obsession with them being the biggest and bestest in the world. Who’s going to pay for all this though? A club that is binning off its staff and is over a billion in debt and is giving contract extensions to Johnny Evans, the maths don’t stack up. A project this size will probably end up costing over half or two thirds of the clubs value.
And if they did build a 100k seater stadium, won’t it look a bit odd on Thursday nights with vast parts of it not open as the bestest fans in the world didn’t fancy turning up?
It’s all about vanity with them lot
They are wank and have a shit mentality. That’s the first thing to sort and to be fair they are putting good people in place but there’s no guarantee it will work
The whole 100k stadium is about being the biggest.
It’s not about being the biggest it’s about being the best
The whole thing is a Jim Ratcliffe vanity project
