City's proposed new stadium makes it's first appearance today. On a virtual reality machine.

City firm Maelstrom have took the ailing technology to new heights to allow City fans to "walk around" the new stadium and see just what they will be getting for their £35 Million.

Every major angle will be covered by the tour including views from the centre circle, one of the stadium's seats and above the new ground. Maelstrom have even included a view of the players' lounge, bar and restaurant, foyer and executive boxes. Presumable so that Gerry Taggart can have a look at just where he will be spending most of his nights in the future.

Although the tour is designed to be used in conjunction with a virtual reality helmet and will primarily feature on City's planned roadshows, the clubs official website will be giving fans around the world the chance to view the stadium when they put it online at around 10am tomorrow.

It's not the first time that this kind of thing has been made available via a footy website. Derby's site included one 3 years ago until it was eventually removed due to high bandwidth demands. Hopefully that won't happen to City's new effort due to the clubs involvement with NTL.

City's chief operating officer Steve Kind said: "Virtual reality gives our supporters the opportunity to experience the look and feel of the new stadium. New computer technology means you really do feel as if you are inside the ground."

He also revealed plans to allow people to use the system as a means of choosing their ideal ticket when the new stadium is finished.

"It will be a vital marketing tool. When the time comes for the sale of tickets we will be able to use virtual reality so that season ticket holders can see the view from their seats."
