    When you see the scale of the redevelopment I'm not surprised though. I didn't realise till today the extent of what is being done.

    Yeah they are having to dig into the ground and make the pitch below ground level, its a pretty big, and expensive, under taking.
    Should be awesome when complete though.

    Worst thing is the douchey name change that'll inevitably follow to pay for it.

    That would explain the massive cost of the new stadium. Any building work associated with digging down is phenomenally expensive, even more so in the past couple of years. HIAG would probably disagree...

    Is Dick King still involved in that?

    Met him. His parents must have known how he was going to turn out when they chose his name!

    From the unofficial (?) video, looks mightily impressive inside. Don't like the look of the outside, looks like an egg slicer?
