we need a new stadium...

Going off on a bit of a tangent here.

Completely hypothetical and there's no reason why this would ever happen, but... If City were to look to build a completely new stadium, where would people want it to be built? On the existing site, closer to our original home at Hyde Road, Moss Side, nearer the city centre or somewhere else perhaps. What does everyone think?

Would have posted this as a new topic but don't have enough posts to my name.

Why post it at all?
 
The other season when the UEFA cup final was at CoMS, there was an angle on TV from a helicopter above the stadium and it looked absolutely epic. I was genuinely stunned at how good it looked from above.

Shame the Rangers fans destroyed the rest of the city!

Was very impressed with the drawings posted up yesterday of Roma's proposed new stadium.

Can't help feeling that our place is already starting to be left behind in terms of design, innovation, and general state-of-the-art 21 century requirements?

Can anyone tell me when the initial stadium plans were drawn-up, as have feeling the architects were pushing the boundaries of 20th century design and build when we first decided to make the move from Maine Road.

I'm convinced COMS/Eastlands, whatever we wish to call it, is not, and will not age well, over the next couple of years.

There is little emotional attachment to the stadium for me, and one of the many reasons why I think our owners could and should look at a new stadium/major refurb before much longer.

Liverpool (eventually) Spuds and other clubs across Europe will all be in a position to take advantage of current methods, which will make our home look dated and shabby.

Some of the German arenas, Bayern's Allianz, Schalke and Hamburg, have all been able to retain a mix of the traditional with cutting edge design.

Do you see a time when our owners will not want to think our home as inferior (I'm reliably informed they were not particularly impressed with it, prior to recent internal cosmetic improvements)

They want the very best for us in terms team quality, yet we already have a stadium that will not be able to keep apace of the progress and ambition.

£400m for a new stadium, Emirates like £60k?

Couldn't disagree more IMHO CoMS is a great design looks tremendous when approaching the way the roof looks like its touching the ground from the bottom of Sir Joe Mercer Way the clever way the pitch is below ground level The view fromeach seat being no more than 100m from the centre spot. Though the picture of Roma's new proposal looked shite especially from the inside Don't think it has aged at all still looks modern and will continue to do so Spuds new stadium is just a developement of an existing structure and will suffer from that Was only talking to a yoonited fan yesterday who was at the Arsenal game and he was saying what a great stadium it is with great views. Feels like home to me especially after the changes in the summer I'm sure more will be done in time

Umm.....wonder what next week's stadium thread will be about??????
 
We don't need a new stadium. Actually, if I'm being perfectly honest this is becoming quite ridiculous...

We've got ourselves a bit of money, and some people are demanding;


Free tickets for all those above the age of 2 months

David Villa in a skirt playing Bluemoon on a banjo - only at half-time though (obviously)

8 new stadiums

Barcelona-esque football (including the 30 degree heat)

A win each week by a margin of at least 4 goals

Each player must put in at least 100 (successful) tackles per game, and cover 5.7 miles "tracking back"

The Sun

The Moon

An oil-reserve


What next? A complimentary Ferrari F50 for each first year seasoncard holder?

I'm sorry but it's really beginning to tickle me, and at the same time remind me of the impatient, spoilt, and very fickle Neanderthals who haunt that vile little cesspit in the centre of Stretford.

We don't need a new stadium, we've only occupied the current one for a handful of years!

CoMS isn't perfect, but it's just beginning to feel like home - and now you're proposing that we move to another imaginary, super-dooper shiny stadium?

It's all getting a little bit silly now, if it isn't Petrov or Robinho being too "soft" and not "tracking back enough" then it's the indignant masses foaming at the mouth due to the latest unsavoury draw against a repulsively "inferior" club - sound familiar?

It's all getting a little unreasonable...

I think a reality check is in order.

I disagree. Most fans were more than happy with a 2-goal win margin over Arsenal.
