New stadium update...

[Yozza]

I described it as "the giant potty" weeks ago and said in early December that AFL were confident of getting the job because of the difference in cost which I recall you dismissed!

Just spoke to my contact at AFL and he says a few of their boys are still out there in the States which is possibly a sign that they're definitely still in the race.

I'm meeting up with a few of them this evening in Manchester whilst the wife and daughter are watching 'High School Musical' so maybe by tonight I'll know some more. Unless Yozza has scooped me again...

fair play fella - dont care who gets the info first, at least we're getting some concrete news between us... even if it is slow!

I still think the Yanks might go with their Texan buddies though...

Stadium Insider wars...

Fair play to both fellas.
They are just trying to help us, and look smart at the same time....

Without knowing Yozza's style, we do know that he will have to put up quite a fight to win the smartness prize...

Never been in there, looks a bit like an old victorian toilet from the outside...

Goes to show what you know!

It’s, IMO, the top real pub in Manchester. A fantastic array of real ales. Good for celeb spotting too…it was Robbie Coltrane’s local when he was filming Cracker.

Fair play

Better than the much celebrated Chop House's?!?

Plus, I'm not sure I want to drink and see Robbie Coltrane.... now Suranne Jones in the Ox hotel pub on Liverpool rd on the other hand....

Bit more of a snippet of info...

apparently 'the potty' is pretty much spot on... there is a cladded roof over the lower part of the stadium but the higher part ie the Kop will be covered by a glass roof... theres no step & the roof flows fluidly

AFL are pretty confident of winning the competition... they've seen the HKS design & reckon theirs is better as the Yanks have had to make drastic changes to the original design to save money

Still awaiting pics though

Cheers Yozza
