Back in December, Manchester City unveiled plans to take their renovation and modernising of the Etihad Stadium to new heights.
New dressing rooms, warm-up facilities and a media zone are part of the project, but the feature that has really caught the eye is the 'The Tunnel Club' - which will be the new hospitality area as of next season.
Work on the facility has already started in the Colin Bell Stand area where the tunnel is, with City switching to a temporary tunnel in the corner towards the North Stand midway into last season.

The Tunnel Club, referred to as "one of the most innovative and immersive experiences in global sports hospitality", comprises of a glass players' tunnel that will allow corporate fans access to the players' getting in the zone as they head out onto the pitch, as well as being able to watch post-match interviews take place from their seats.

But as per Jack Gaughan from the Daily Mail, those in hospitality will receive a talk from a different member of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff prior to every home fixture, where they will run through the team's tactics for the game.
It's set to be done on a rotation basis, and as fascinating as it will be for VIPs who are able to shell out £15,000 for a season ticket in hospitality, many cannot believe that Guardiola has approved the idea.
After all, all it takes is a couple of spies/moles to be hired by opposition managers and Pep's tactics could well be leaked.
What do you make of the idea? Let us know your thoughts in the comments
