So what about this stadium then?

[john@staustell]

So we've all heard about these mega plans, which ITK's keep saying will 'blow your mind away', but hardly any hard facts.

Now our season is over any sign of any announcements on this - either the East Manchester development or stadium plans?

Anyone know if they are 'still in discussions' or if we can expect some news sonn to perk up the speculation and rumour season?

I too would like to know about this.

They are airlifting the City of Manchester Stadium to Abu Dhabi, filling it with water and joining the world Water Polo league, you think it's coincidence the Sheikh owns so many horses?

The only current plans are to create City Street down Joe Mercer Way, Create a massive Halo above the City Store that will keep people dry when standing under with the pint they bought in wet City Street, Paint benches Blue, add new posters (massive) outside stadium and change the car park layout including new off site locations.

The concept of the Halo and surrounding area to City Store will also allow small scale concerts to take place in that area, similar to Doves last year.

Election has stopped any further planning applications being submitted, so no major changes to Stadium planned. Club have admitted to carying out feasability studies on expanding the ground and purchasing land near ASDA. Likley to build new Training Complex next to Asda, but planning permission will need to be sought first.

Minor chamges to inside of stadium to reflect new season ticket pricing to be done closed season and next closed season. i.e. North Tsnad to be made family Friendly (Less Alchol, more fizzy pop) South Stand (More Alchol, Less Fizzy Pop) next closed season Level 2 West and East to be gutted, new comfier seats put in, bar and toilet facilities to be upgraded.

Think that covers it all.

All the corporate facilities are being refurbed as well but that won't effect the peasants outside.
