Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

420 Tunnel club season tickets would bring in as much as 10000 level 2 tickets and SS3 get cheaper as you get further from the pitch.

I get that they won't visit the shop but City make more from the summer concerts at the bar than during the season. The guy who ran the catering said they made 20% more than the whole season at the Take That concerts a few years back and I doubt Liam Gallagher or Ed Sheeran fans were tea total this year.

If they want to make money reduce the number of season tickets and charge standard matchday prices like the dippers. Let the non-renewers seats be available on a match by match basis, that'll double the income from the seat.

Make the non family, family stand people move into the general population, that'll be another chunk of cash and manage the stand for the younger fans to attend.

They can make more money if they want to, Corporate might be a lesser evil

Cheshire Archives - the Old Cheshire CC commissioned a B & W Aerial Survey between 1971 and 1972 - pre-dates the Metropolitan Boroughs so covers lots of South Manchester - I managed to snarf great swathes of it a few years back, but they've cranked the resolution down now on the public site sadly. Was there a particlar area you were looking for?

I would expect the promoter is paying the club for use of the bars when they pay for the stadium, then the promoter will sell the food and drink concessions to another supplier, and they will all be making a profit so thats the reason its so expensive.

Be interesting to see if it is. Especially to which clientele they aim for? Will it be upmarket to attract those moving into the apartments around it, or for the once every other week football crowd? The two rarely mix well together.

Not many new apartments if any arround the Mitchell as yet as the new development expansion from the City centre hasn't reached it. The Bank of England in New Islington yes.
 
If converting the Gas Holders into apartments was feasible, it would be done. It depends on lots of things like the condition of them, whats under the ground where they are, etc. Not sure any property developer would take that risk on.
 
The new grass is growing.

I smiled at the thought of a resident being nostalgic for the loss of a gasholder - they are an eyesore but I guess we get used to them and they become part of us.

I currently live around 5 miles from Ferrybridge and when I was in the army, coming from Catterick to Manchester on a Friday, you knew you were near the M62 when you saw the cooling towers…the last ones were demolished a couple of months ago, so there’s no landmark there now…happy memories…

But everyone in NS1 and NS2 is quiet as a mouse generally during the game?

Where would they all go are you proposing just turfing them out to the seats of people who might want to move in a new single tiered end?

More chance of the away section moving imo and the SS becoming a completely “home end”

They did that to all the fans who sat in the North Stand originally to create the Family Stand, so why not again?

I’m just trying to see it from the club’s point of view, for me match day revenue is such a small part of our turnover, they should be concentrating more on bringing in new and younger fans.

They should always have been concentrating on not losing long standing local fans.

City have the fanbase in Manchester alone to fill a 65,000 stadium every week. But they have tried to bring new fans to our support to the detriment of our core local support, many of whom have been proved out and fallen away.

The locals in the area in the new and new-ish flats want more pubs around there. They want all of them opening up again.

Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of the Bank Of England. Hopefully existing locals will give it business on non matchdays to survive. Too many were lost even after City moved in.
 
Bank of New England is going, replaced with a new build cafe bar as part of Ancoats works being developed

Kamani and Capital&Centric submit £50m Ancoats Works plans - Place North West

The developers are aiming to build 193 homes on the historic Manchester site, as well as a community hangout space.

I'd be expecting some bars to pop up in the mills and new developments between Bradford Rd and Ashton Canal Path, they are trying to link up New Islington and Etihad Campus as a walking route

One already been there a while, Hetheringtons. Ground floor of an old mill on Pollard St. Been a few times before and after games. Decent food and drink, welcoming too.

According to the City guy, they keep the majority of the profit from the bars and concessions. All built into the price of the venue.
