Manchester City show off Star Wars-inspired new dressing room ahead of home-opener against Everton… complete with Tunnel Club for fans
MANCHESTER CITY have shown off their fancy new dressing room ahead of their home-opener against Everton next weekend - and it looks like it may have been inspired by Star Wars.
Pep Guardiola and Co can look forward to enjoying the 2017-18 season in style, as the Etihad Stadium has undergone an extensive renovation.
The Spanish boss himself was asked for his input on the new, circular home dressing room - set to be used for the first time on August 21 against the Toffees.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
City have for a long time been keen to improve the facilities at the former Commonwealth Games arena, originally known as the City of Manchester Stadium.
The footballing giants were adamant they needed to bring the state of interior in line with their European counterparts.
In doing so they've unveiled a sleek, modern design around the stadium, including a mirrored-tunnel and a complete revamp of the area below the Colin Bell stand.
They have also introduced a Tunnel Club - as Tottenham have already announced - allowing fans to enjoy the full VIP experience... for £7,500 per year.
