What's underneath the Etihad Stadium?

Lots of soil, I guess....

Re: Whats underneath the etihad stadium???

Some of those mine shafts and tunnels spread right under north Manchester....a tunnel large enough for vehicles to travel connected Bradford (Beswick) Colliery to the one in Moston, where the 'Miners Estate' is (unsuprisingly) so Etihad and the proposed new FC united of Bury's ground will be 'connected'

Anyone got access to dynamite.....?

Last person who tried a plan like that in a tunnel under a building got caught and ended up having a day in November named after him.

On the training pitches.... not been down there recently but one of them (the away warm up room) was converted into player lounge over a year ago. To be fair giving the opposition a warm up room never really helped City - Arsenal were the very first team to use it (31/8/03; Portsmouth didn't bother!) and they beat City 2-1!

Is the tale true about after we beat Arsenal 1-0 (Barton, pen), a member of the Arsenal team spread a brown stain on the away team warm-up area wall?

So you're saying that there is a giant tangerine under the stadium if you dig deep enough?

Underneath the stadium is an old coal mine
If you're talking about in the stadium itself, opposite both changing rooms is a warm up room with astroturf and an electronic board for shooting practise

An' the ghosts of old miners - every man jack of 'em a Rag, clad 'ead to toe in green an' yeller! Not a bit o' wonder we haven't won the Champions League since settin' foot in Beswick!

Scary........

It's where Bobby hides the bodies of those who disrespect him, hence Tevez staying as far away as possible.
