Can Manc Rooftop Wizardry Save the Day?…
Holy cheese sticks, folks! The North Stand roof at Manchester City’s fortress is doing a vanishing act worthy of Harry Potter himself! Yes, the blue-calling juggernaut is swapping its old lid for a snazzy new one, in a mission more secretive than a squirrel’s nut stash. Citizens are in for a treat, as they’re not just getting a roof but an entire magical kingdom with fanparks, hotels, and spaceships—okay, maybe just shops—but you get the drift! This Harry-Pep’s-playhouse should be ready for a triumphant reveal later in the 2025/26 season.
In a daring maneuver that would make even Evel Knievel blush, workers will have mere six weeks to execute an operation more discreet than a ninja with invisibility powers—their mission: strip the roof like a banana, while 45-tonne steel monsters waltz their way down to pitch level. The groundsmen will then work their magic, replanting the green paradise for the new season before the mighty Pep’s squad can tackle Spurs and United with gusto!
Rumor has it that ticket info for the new high-flying seats will soon be out, tickling fans like an unexpected feather duster. The Etihad will soon boast 61,000 seats—making it the second-best place for a Mancunian to express sheer joy, right after they secure last-minute concert tickets! What a time to be alive in the land of sky-blue dreams!
