If that is the case I wonder if they'll build a football stadium there, they already have a very large cricket stadium.

and the Al Jazira stadium is being extended for the season after next's Champions Cup (the one usually held in Tokyo between champs of Europe, South America, Asia, Australasia, Concacaf etc - Toyota Cup)
Abu Dhabi have somehow (I wonder how) temporarily got the rights for that one

Judging but what I saw the last time I was there Abu (the capital of the UAE) is trying to get as popular as Dubai so I think that at the end of the day it's money that's doing the business for them.
All over Sky Sports News now.
Their aim is to 'finish in the Top 4 THIS SEASON'

Quite right. They're pretty fed up that Abu Dhabi Emirate is the largest and richest but Dubai gets all of the attention. They're spending megabucks developing AD and I guess this is another step on the way to becoming the biggest attraction in the region.

I think that seeing the way things are done in Abu Dhabi City won't be short of funds. It's just a shame for them that this takeover has come a bit too late to help them with this transfer window.

Thank goodness Thaksin has gone. Although part of me would have enjoyed the PL getting in a right pickle when applying the 'right and proper' rules to him again.

SERIOUSLY!
They'd better start upgrading their shitty airport then-the place is a frigging dump. It's all very well looking like an inside-out donut but as an airport terminal it doesn't work. And don't get me started about allowing smoking everywhere in the building.

Maybe we can interest him in investing in The Albion? He's in the region-was seen in Guildford recently (last week). Chuck us a few mill Thaksin-kup khun khrap!

True. I'm looking to expand my business and set up an Abu Dhabi office for September 2009 - as you say, there's higher GDP there than Dubai.
The UAE is a great place to be an entrepreneur at the moment.

The Etihad wing (designed to take the A380 with double decker bridges) is due to open very soon with the midfield terminal under design development. Not the type of thing you can do overnight this airport construction business.
But I agree it is frigging dump in its present guise

They might want to consider changing their name to Abu Dhabi City Group just to avoid confusion like.
