Visiting the Etihad

Just after working at the Liverpool game, I thought I would visit the Etihad. 

I have visited a number of different football stadiums; Croke Park, Wembley Stadium, The Emirates Stadium, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford of course, and now, the Etihad.

When I arrived, the stadium looked very nice on the outside. I took a lot of photos, and then I went inside.

Somehow, I was able to get a stadium tour for free - Awesome! 

As I continued on the stadium tour, I was shown the changing rooms, press conference room, the training facilities used on match days (which were absolutely superb, I must admit), and the dugouts.

As a Manchester United fan, it pains me to say it, but Manchester City has some absolutely amazing facilities at the Etihad - from the leather seats in their changing rooms, to the superb warm-up area.

However, being a Manchester United fan, I thought it would be good fun to get my Man Utd flag out and take a few photos.

We got our trophy back!

All in all, the Etihad tour was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. Despite my love for Manchester United, it is quite clear that Manchester City have some excellent facilities. 

They may have some great facilities, but we have the Premier League trophy :)
