GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
As if his club's recent embarrassments in Asia weren't enough, Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra suddenly has to deal with the fact that he won't be the most important sports owner in his own house this summer.City of Manchester Stadium is playing host to a Bon Jovi concert on June 22. This is apparently messing with Man City's plans to begin its unexpected UEFA Cup bid. Because Man City qualified for Europe through the UEFA Fair Play Table, it has to start in the first qualifying round, which begins on July 17. Club officials are saying there's no way they can lay down a worthwhile pitch between the end of the Bon Jovi concert and the first European match. The concert, however, takes priority.
Basically, the pitch would end up resembling that horrid turf used at Luzhniki Stadium for the Champions League Final, which was ... wait for it ... living on a prayer.
I apologize for typing that.
Man City is now looking for alternative venues for its first European match since 2003, and Old Trafford has already been ruled out. I'm sure Jon Bon Jovi would graciously offer the Philadelphia Soul's home field if it weren't too small.
