Interesting news are out and it has been reported that Manchester City want to expand Eastlands into the biggest in English football.
The Abu Dhabi United Group’s plans will see a major development to expand their council-owned ground.
An addition of a third tier and 30,000 seats to take the full capacity of the City of Manchester stadium to 80,000, some 5,000 more than cross town rivals United at Old Trafford.
A City source confirmed: “The owners want to build the best football club possible – both on and off the pitch.
“Everything is at a very early stage and the only thing that is set in stone at the moment is the development of a City Street outside the stadium, based on a European-style fan zone. But the owners are looking into every single aspect of how the club is run – including the possibility of expanding the stadium.
“But it won’t be just about increasing stadium capacity. We are looking at the whole match-day experience, from how fans are catered for on the concourses to how we look after corporate guests.”
