Athletics can still happen at Eastlands - there's a 4000 seater athletics stadium next to the etihad. That is more than enough for all but the biggest international events (which the city can't afford to host anyway). Football is also relatively easily accessible to kids with little money - more so than 90% of athletic events. I don't care one bit that the council contributed to the development/stadium/whatever (and received a % of gate receipts) and I imagine, if you asked them, that they're pretty happy with how it's worked out for the city. I also don't care about compulsory purchase orders in these circumstances. If they were needed to redevelop the area, then it's a case of breaking a few eggs to provide unprecendented redevlopment. The rest is just desparate - nobody under 40 could even remember Steve Daley. 1979 ffs. 35 years ago mate. |

All the Sheikh (not City BTW) is doing is putting up a few portal frame buildings in some run down shithole. It'll look an even bigger shithole in a decade like what Eastlands does now. |

If you don't like cpo's - use your vote to change the law - pointless raging against man city but pointless raging is fairly typical of this place I guess. |

i care about it is what I said the point about athletics is that it is accessible because it is inclusive - every kid can in theory easily practice the discipline that best suits them. the point about don valley is that is/was in sheffield, not one of the big 3 cities. birmingham has the alexander. london has crystal palace. the politics of sport in school have been a disgrace, and the refusal to offer world class facilities up north likewise. manchester did benefit from the velodrome, no question. it should also have a world class track and field venue, because if it doesn't then it shouldn't have been awarded the games in the first place. as far as city's spending history goes, you might think taking the piss out of them for it is desperate. people who followed football at the time are still laughing about it though, pal, just as they laugh at United getting relegated, they laugh at alan ball as well. and in 20 yrs time you might laugh at Moyes and we will laugh at how you lot sold out completely in 30 seconds flat after swearing you never would for 30 years |

Our 06-09 set up would have beaten them to the pots still, theyre raising the bar for us and our club need to £#%&!ing accept it and react. Those arabs aren't going to be leaving any time soon. We all said it about Roman and hes still here 11 years on. |

As long as we make the cl I think we'll be ok. If we miss out then we'll soon be the other Manchester club. |

Can't ever remember any city fan not wanting to sell out tbh. city have had some of the most ludicrous owners in the world of football (Swales). All of my mates were desperate for a knight in shining armour to come and get them and delighted when they did. I've also not met one blue who remotely resents the new investment. Tbf to united, we did put up a bit of a fight against the glazers. I didn't think you did though throb? |
