Manchester City have launched their poshest VIP box yet - which football fans can book out for a cool £25,000 a game.

We headed along to sample the hospitality - and you can share the experience of a visit the Etihad through a VIP's eyes with video taken by our head-mounted Google Glass camera.

The new Platinum Experience box promises a “once in a lifetime” experience for fans - including pitchside access before the game, meeting Blues legends and even meeting one of the first team players to chat about the scoreline after the game.

Inside the box itself, the sleek and sophisticated space can be dressed up to your requirements - whether it be a children’s birthday party, corporate team-building or just an afternoon out with pals - and you also get to enjoy the game alongside the Premier League trophy itself which is displayed in the box.

Naturally for such a large sum of money, there is champagne on arrival, and wine, beer and other beverages on tap throughout the game with a dedicated team of staff waiting on your every need.

There’s also a sumptuous feast of goodies, devised by the Etihad’s consultant celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, which included on our visit a selection of meats and cheeses, fish platters, and hot dishes included a tasty beef goulash.

As for watching the game itself, you walk out of your box onto a plush carpet-clad private balcony section of the stadium with padded chairs, naturally.

You can get up to 20 people inside the box, and while you might think that £25,000 (plus VAT) figure might be a bit steep, it has already been booked out by eager fans for all the “top tier” games for the rest of the season.

However there is still some availability for the lower tier games, when the box then starts at a more affordable £12,500.

On our visit we got to meet Blues legends Colin Bell, Joe Corrigan, Richard Edghill and Tony Book.

Tony admitted the set-up at City has changed beyond recognition from his playing days, but what did he reckon to that £25,000 pricetag for the new box? He grinned: “When you get the best, you’ve got to pay for the best.”

Sadly, on our visit on Wednesday night, the performance on the pitch couldn’t quite match the perfection of the VIP box - with City losing 2-1 and having two players sent off.

The new suite is part of an ongoing programme of hospitality improvements at the Etihad Stadium, and City bosses believe they are now the only Premier League club to offer such a bespoke offering to fans.
