MANCHESTER CITY have unveiled their revolutionary plans to make their fans' expierence at the Etihad even better.
City supporters will be able to watch their team play at home via The Tunnel Club in the Colin Bell Stand, which includes a glass wall - allowing fans to look inside the tunnel from the bar/restaurant.
City's stars and the away team will not be able to look through the glass, meaning they will not get distracted and also fans will not be able to insult or offend them.

Once fans have seen their stars line up and walk out onto to the turf at the Etihad, the fans will then walk out in their own exclusive tunnel alongside the players.
And they will then take to their seats which are dubbed the 'best seats in the house' which is right next to the home dug out alongside the coaches and players on the bench as well as being behind Pep Guardiola.
