For our overseas pals, (including Whisler ;D) just to let you know that Manchester City Council have approved the plans for our new training and Academy complex. It will have world leading facilities and below I have reproduced the club's description of the campus:-
"A home for up to 400 young players who will train and study alongside senior players, with a clear development pathway to the first team
One half size and 11 full size youth development pitches
One half size and 4 full size first team pitches
On site sleeping accommodation and classroom facility for 40 young players to allow them to train and study in a safe and secure environment
A carefully planned first team building with changing rooms, gym, refectory and injury and rehab centre
A 7,000 capacity stadium for youth matches
Staff offices and a dedicated media centre
A bridge linking the site to the Etihad Stadium and the rest of the Etihad Campus"
This is surely going to be a world leader, without a doubt.
