Man City into the future

PATRICK VIEIRA has hailed Manchester City’s new training HQ as ‘the best in the world’.
Construction of the £100million City Football Academy on waste land next to the Etihad will begin in the next few days.
The Premier League champions, led by boss Roberto Mancini, expect the 80-acre site due to be up and running in two years.
And the no-expense-spared complex will allow ground staff to CHANGE the grass on one of the pitches so it matches the surface City will play their next away game on.
The site is the equivalent to five Etihads and includes:
A 7,000-capacity stadium for youth and reserve games.
16 full-size pitches, including one indoors.
A 400-player Academy with classrooms for 200 pupils.
On-site accommodation for junior and senior players.
A state-of-the-art first-team building complete with injury and rehab centre.
A bridge linking the Etihad to the site.
The project has been four years in the planning and involved extensive research into 30 top sporting complexes around the world

City’s football development executive Vieira said: “What I find really exciting about the project is that before designing the facilities, they have been to the football world, the basketball world and the NFL world.
“I believe it is the best project in all of sport because people have travelled the world to capture the best in every sport and bring it here.
“It is a long-term commitment and I am really excited about it because once you see the pictures you can’t wait for the work to start.”
City have donated 5½ acres of the site to Manchester City Council so they can build a Sixth Form College and Sports Research Institute. They have also given £3m towards the building of a community swimming pool.

Outstanding commitment , it is just a pity they cannot fill their 47,000 seater stadium even when they are League Champions. Like horse-racing though , once the Sheiks are committed they are not prepared too spend.
