Exciting Changes at Etihad Stadium…
Manchester City fans will return to find the Etihad Stadium with more twists and turns than a squirrel on roller skates this Saturday, making its grand re-entry since May. Pep Guardiola’s squad is facing Tottenham at home, after their win against Wolves. Supporters will have fresh faces to admire, including James Trafford and others who have proven as lively as a buzzing beehive. Meanwhile, some older players might be playing more suspenseful games than a cat tiptoeing around a rocking chair, with transfer uncertainties looming large.
Besides fancy footwork, major updates greet fans even before the kickoff as the North Stand and its new roof promise a sky-high experience like watching football from a bouncy castle tower. The 7,000-seat single tier brings more eyes and noise to fuel the atmosphere. An eye-popping screen now adorns the south-east corner, set to entertain like a magician in a room full of toddlers. Upgrades to the concourses are sure to delight, though fans might worry the new turnstile system will have them doing the old hokey pokey just to get in! Worries about delays are entertained but, rest assured, facial recognition’s not part of the show this time around.
