I can still remember all the effort and millions of pounds city spent building their stadium.

Them boyo's woke up as just billionaires, they'd throw themselves off those tall buildings they own in sheer grief.

COM was easily the best case scenario for the city and the club.
Look at London stadium, sir what’s his name wanted to make sure it was an Olympic legacy and keep the track. So now it’s ended up being a football stadium 90% of the time (apart from the odd athletics that no one watches and for some reason baseball).
It’s easily the worst modern football stadium in the league, I went with work for an event in the hospitality and was surprised how empty it is with 0 character, never mind the distance from the pitch. Also some of the concourse in the home end is exposed to the elements.
COM had the lower terraces buried before city got handed it over and had to invest in a new stand and pay rent.
Look at it now, may not be to everyone’s taste but they’ve certainly made the most of it and I think it looks incredibly especially with the steep extra triers behind the goal, and the recently approved extension to the other side looks good. Compared to the RS Lego build
Yeah it’s not secret who Brady who was sleeping with to get that deal.
Yes but this thread is about Ratcliffe wanting tax payer handouts for a new stadium.
City have actually spent almost 3 times as much improving the stadium than it actually cost to build it.
I know and I agree that it's disgraceful. However, it is somewhat hypocritical if we have a City or West Ham fan not recognising that they benefitted in a not too dissimilar way.

You can’t compare what city got to West Ham.
Neither club built a stadium from the ground up so you can.

No, city had to excavate and build a stands from their own expense / Maine road. They essentially paid for it and have spent 3x what it cost since.
Look at the difference:
(Sorry for having Keegan).
To this:
West Ham got the stadium, whole new roof, stand adjustments for free due to political links. We’re still paying it from our tax every day.
They even got the running track relaid to claret paid for by the tax payers.

A national stadium of the north?
Like if Wembley has 1 WC Semi Final, the other could be played up north?
I'm sure we used to have one of them, havent seen it lately though tbh??

Fair play brother. You’re right in the sense that city got it handed on a platter but West Ham have got a whole stadium including maintenance via the tax payers.
Got to be said. The commonwealth games stadium was a bit meh.
