Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[MadchesterCity]

I have just lifted this from STATEMENT OF REASONS document for the new proposed scheme

The objectives of the Scheme are to:

Discourage event-related / Campus facility users and other on-street, long-stay non-residential parking in the area, while still permitting short-stay parking for visitors to residential properties and businesses in the scheme area; Encourage visitors to the area to use public transport and active travel options;

So the bottom line is they don't want City fans traveling to the Etihad in a car

Or they want to charge for parking?
Public transport is unsafe on the trams, it’s bloody disgusting the few trams on match days and the squishes on the trams, I ended up with a neck injury after having to carry my child for long period after match

 

[we are the east stand]

All this parking restriction nonsense infuriates me, seems like the council are actively trying to deter people from attending matches.

Compare this to OT where people park anywhere they want pretty much, cars are even parked, seemingly with impunity, on the big White City roundabout

Different councils, Manchester and Trafford.

After looking at whats proposed, all of the matchday parking in all of the none residential areas where parking was previously permitted will no longer be allowed. They even plan to introduce restrictions (residents parking bays) on streets were there are no longer any residents. There aren't any houses on Eccleshall Street (the were demolished 15-20 years ago) in Clayton, but low and behold they are restricting the full length of the carriageway on both sides to some none existent residents. See attached for details

See attached for details,

Anyone effected by these proposals can log an objection, but you will need to be quick, they need to be in by 16 March 2023.

As a fan base we all need to complain

Seems to me that going to a football match has become one of the hardest things you can do these days; Membership schemes, all ticket games, shite ticket office services, digital tickets, rip off parking, no parking, body searches, bag storage fees etc. And that’s before you’ve even got in! Then it’s shite beer, shite service, ridiculous queues, smoking in the bogs, getting pissed wet through half way up the stand, tourists with iPads, half n half scarves, shite atmosphere. Apart from all that though I fuckin love it! Up the Blues! :-)

Yep...pretty much spot on that

Surely the council would not want to deter people from attending as I am sure the council get a certain level of rent when the crowd is above a certain number. However I then realised we are talking about politicians!!!!

The crowd criteria factor was dropped when the lease was renegotiated its a flat fee for the 19 games with bonuses for additional matches

The End of Free on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

The proposals are to extend the existing parking scheme near the Etihad Stadium to operate every day from 12 noon to 11pm, and include all of the surrounding streets' These proposals will see the end of all on street parking in both none residential and residential areas alike at all locations...

The drone video is mainly about the Etihad stadium. Towards the end of the video the Coop Live Arena comes into shot.(screen grab below)

The 2nd picture is enlarged from the 1st picture. Slightly blurred.

If you use your imagination, picture the Coop Live Arena built, the North Stand expanded, with a Hotel, Museum, if it’s outside the expanded North Stand, a new City Square Plaza, and at some point in the future, hopefully I’m still alive by then(56 this year), a mixed-use development on the Collar Site.

Thanks for the update, It really is starting to look impressive.

On on other note, it would be good if the drone man could do a fly over on the development on the site of the old Hyde Road ground to see what they have unearthed.

New housing development on the old Hyde Road Stadium site

Just been past the Hyde Road Stadium site on the train and noticed that they have started the ground works for the new housing development. It also looks like they have/are doing an archaeological dig where one of the stands once stood and they have uncovered what looks part of a foundation...
