Originally built for the Commonwealth Games in 2002, the club made the switch from Maine Road to the City of Manchster Stadium a year later.

It currently has a capacity of 53,600 and is the 7th-largest football stadium in England.

Ambitious plans are set to see that capacity soar over the 60,000-mark.

City are adding a huge new tier to their North Stand, with the extension due to open for the 2025/26 season.

The renovation will see the create of an incredible Sky Bar, which will have premium seating for 450.

As well as development inside the ground, there’s a host of new areas being created in the renovations.

City are building a new City Square Fanzone, club museum, City Store, and a mammoth 400-bed hotel.

These new projects will take slightly longer and are due to be finishing in late 2026.

City’s Director of Infrastructure and Development Ed Dalton said: “Work is progressing at pace.

“The project is split into four different sections.

“We have the North Stand development, the hotel, a commercial wing, and the covered fan zone from City Square.

“Over the summer and winter months, we’ve completed all ground works.

“We did as much work as we could during the close season to minimise disruption to fans.”

The project is part of a £300m investment into East Manchester.

It is hoped that 2,600 jobs will be created in the process.

City last expanded the Etihad back in 2014.

They added a third tier to the South Stand, increasing the capacity from 47,400 to 55,100 seats.

City have also announced plans to “create a legacy by establishing new pathways for the next generation of Manchester City fans to enjoy matches”.

That is expected to mean the club will set aside a number of tickets for fans under the age of 21.

A WOMAN has revealed that she used to be a lesbian, but is now dating a man 28 years older than her.

Honey, 23, began seeing Shawn, 51, after a chance encounter – but now, they are very much in love.

Honey opened up on her age gap relationship and claimed that people call their partnership a ‘recipe for disaster’[/caption]

Opening up about their age gap love, Honey explained that people assume she is a sugar baby and call their relationship a ‘recipe for disaster’, but she won’t listen or let the mean comments get her down. 

Chatting to Truly, on an episode of Love Don’t Judge, the couple confessed that they met in 2018, in a vegan restaurant, when Honey was just 17-years-old. 

The pair decided to sit in the same booth and things soon blossomed, with Honey admitting to finding “love at first sight”.

And despite their 28-year age difference, Shawn beamed: “It just felt right.”

Honey explained: “Before we got together I was a lesbian. 

“People tend to judge our relationship because I went from dating women to being engaged to a man.

“A lot of people see us and assume sugar daddy, sugar baby.” 

But this didn’t bother photographer Shawn, who is regularly mistaken for Honey’s father, as he conceded: “I don’t have a problem with it. She is old enough to be my daughter.”

Despite their age gap, Honey’s family fully accepted Shawn, as she acknowledged: “They were never the biggest fan of me being a lesbian because my family is Haitian, Christian. 

“It was never an issue on my end, even though he is older than me. 

“They were just happy that future kids were happening.” 

But the same couldn’t be said for Shawn’s loved ones, with many of his support network raising concerns. 

The couple sat down to discuss the initial reservations of the family, with Shawn’s cousin Dwain, and Dwain’s wife Carlette.

When asked about their thoughts on Honey and Shawn’s relationship, Carlette said: “It could be a recipe for disaster. Not only is she a former lesbian but she’s a lot younger than him.”

But after a heated conversation with the age-gap couple, Carlette admitted: “I really like Honey, I think you are a great person. I love you both.” 

Whatever others think, Shawn knows that his love for Honey is real, and disregards criticism from the outside world.

He stressed: “To people who like to judge us, judge yourself, look at your own life. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, could you take being judged?” 

And Honey won’t listen to rude remarks either, as she added: “More of our judgment comes online – someone said ‘you need to crave this bible’. Some people are like, ‘is that your dad?’.

“Judgement honestly doesn’t really bother me. I know we’re different so I expect some judgements but I don’t really take it to heart.”

Big divide

YouTube users were left totally divided by Honey and Shawn’s relationship – with many eagerly flocking to the comments to share their thoughts. 

As someone with a sister that’s 21 and a dad in his 50s, this made me pretty uncomfortable

One person slammed: “The fact she was 17 when they met makes this weird to me…”

Another added: “She’s young enough to be your daughter.” 

They truly seem like a genuine couple who love and respect each other

A third commented: “As someone with a sister that’s 21 and a dad in his 50s, this made me pretty uncomfortable.” 

Whilst someone else chimed in: “That guy must be wealthy.”

But at the same time, not everyone was as negative, as one user said: “Be happy, do you, and don’t worry about the haters. Happy for you both! Love is love.” 

Meanwhile, a second claimed: “Despite their obvious age gap that many in society would raise their eyebrows to, they truly seem like a genuine couple who love and respect each other.”

STORM Herminia has added to the sporting fixture chaos caused by Storm Eowyn with Wicklow’s meeting with Waterford now cancelled.

The Division 4 NFL fixture was called off at short notice on Sunday morning.

At 11:44am Wicklow GAA tweeted: “Our Allianz Football League Roinn 4 game against Waterford has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

“Alternate venues have been checked but all are unplayable.

“Thanking you for your patience. Rescheduled date will be posted once available.”

Sunday’s scheduled Division match-up between Kerry and Donegal had already fallen by the wayside as the Donegal team had no safe way to travel all the way down to Killarney.

Saturday morning also brought with it word of Leitrim against Laois being pushed back until today, Sunday January 26.
