It bugs me that often the late winner or action is at the North end of our ground. How is it decided which way we face each game? I reckon we've headed the same way in the first half for about 99.9% of games in all competitions.

I know, we should attack the south stand 2nd half, north stand is hardly any fans in, and I want to see goals

I remember there being a tradition at Maine Road at one point of which way we faced kicking off - not sure if that has been carried on to the new stadium?

Depends on the coin toss. Players aren't bothered so presume if we win the toss, the captain says stay instead of swap for the sake of not having to move around. Think it has only happened a handful of times at the Etihad, he has happened once this season.

Anyway I'm in the family so enjoy seeing the goals Chelsea every goal was at the south stand end, Arsenal game every goal was at north stand end!

Well this trend was reversed yesterday and was good to see. I was really happy when Burnley made us switch.

One other thing is the dug out situation. Most home teams dug outs are on the linesman's side so they can get in his ear. We should also rectify this issue as well.
