Man City In Talks To Build Its Own Power Station Adjacent To Training Ground

Man City could be set to build a sub-station on the site of its state-of-the-art training complex as "off-field developments continue," according to Ricky Charlesworth of the London DAILY MIRROR. The club is in discussions to "construct a sub-station nearby their state-of-the-art Etihad Campus training ground." The 200-acre site, which opened last year, "uses so much energy" that Man City has installed an energy center. Council bosses are "now in talks with the club as they continue developments to the East Manchester site." A source said, "The club expects to use a lot of power and the council does not want it draining the local supply" (DAILY MIRROR, 2/22).
