I'm sure the Etihad would have been offered, but we have concerts (not sure if we do this summer) and replace/repair the pitch in the summer.Looking beyond the outrage at the comment about the Academy Stadium being a training pitch she does have a point to a certain extent. Iceland are due to play 2 games there and both fixtures have sold out according to the sports news on BBC. The stadium is the lowest allowable attendance of those that have been selected with even Leigh Sports Village accomodating almost twice as many spectators. Not sure why it's taken 6 months since the stadium were selected as host venues for this to come to light though.
