Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Does the city football academy side of the campus have a hotel? I’m sure I’ve read there was such a facility, eg where players or visitors can stay, but I can’t see it identified on the campus map/plan on the website

I think there’s accommodation for youth players and further accommodation where youth players families can stay when visiting etc. But not really a hotel.

Prominent sites include the gas holders on Bradford Road near Manchester City FC’s Etihad stadium, which are seen as a local landmark.

Manchester City Council has previously described the gas holders as “constraints” to its developments plans in the surrounding area, including the Etihad expansion plans and residential projects with Manchester Life, the joint venture with club owner Abu Dhabi Investment Company.

They used to have trains on matchdays when we first were at the new ground at Ashburys. Has that stopped?

Been a fair few years since we parked up near there for the game.

I agree on the loop that surrounds the ground. How we can get a train running is shocking. Would add a relief to not only the metrolink but the buses as well.

I've never caught a matchday train to Ashbury's but I plan to today.

I thought it was going to be flattened for new homes.

But on the new plan it seems to still be there in grey.

Interesting.

I’m sure I’ve seen plans (no idea where, maybe that website) where that grey building on there that is Mary D’s isn’t there so something has happened for it to be now included in the big new plans.
 
Over 52k there tonight. And that's with 200 away fans. Fantastic crowd. Way above what I expected given it was almost a dead rubber.

it did look quite full.

No not quite but still that's a fantastic crowd for a game where City were almost through. There were next to no away fans, with City fans in the blocks directly above the away fans, hence some empty seats elsewhere in the ground.

And it felt like 30k of those fans were not seasoncard holders. The Champions League crowds show that City have a new audience of fans around them now apart from an intenselly loyal but limited number of fans who saw us through thin and thinner (the free the 30,000).

I suspect that given the "can`t be arsed brigade" (I include myself in that group) not going,this gives a greater opportunity of following the Blues where tickets are more readily available.
A wonderful attendance figure last night.

Yes. This was not really a very attractive game and 52k were there. Shows that City are now reaching way beyond our original core support.

I think in the annual report it says that last season 130,000 different home fans went to City last season.
