The first UAE venture into 'off shore' gambling.We stayed opposite that over Xmas - meant to be the biggest casino in the world, operated by Wynn group.
You can be sure they'll redefine the experience.
A HotelCasino on the collar site,or the wider campus area, can't be ruled out along with v smart skyscraper apartments.
The development opportunities, by reconfiguring the land bank/mass around the campus, on ANR (Asda/Clayton Anoline,Tesla) along with (perhaps) relocating the athletics/tennis centres into a separate cluster next to the Velodrome are huge and would dwarf anything in Trafford.
The potential issue is Metro/rail capability, but if anyone can break that logjam City can.

Ferrari World in Abu Dahabi covers approximately 7 football pitches IF Asda site was purchased then there would be room for a similar Being mainly indoor the Manchester weather wouldn't be a draw back

it only requires the will and a bit of public funding.
If Etihad Rail were involved it would've been completed already.

Retail outlets too, a poundland and mega Gregg's store. And a decent bargain booze.
Wetherspoons have their own hotels, we have stayed at the one in Newport when we played them in the FA Cup, and the one in Whitby, brilliant straight down stairs for Breakfast and a pint without getting wetA big fck off Wetherspoons with a Travelodge built next to it is what is needed. It would be an absolute gold mine. Even with budget prices.

But they don't start serving beer until 9.00am, unacceptable.
As I found to my cost before Forest game.

I posed that question to Danny Wilson in an email in 2009 and that was his response then."Q – LED Lights on top of the spires

I’ve never seen a pigeon chew anything though. Rats chew, pigeons don’t.

Mandatory No
Easy to replace No
Expensive to hire plant Yes
What’s the purpose ?
Let’s spend the money on the flood lights around the inside top of the stadium instead Much more useful for lots of reasons

There's an oxymoron there somewhere

I love this idea, I’m just imagining a top interior designer / set designer trying to get it to look as dishevelled as the Claremont….

Transforming Communities: Insights from Our Organisational Visit to Etihad Stadium
We had the privilege of visiting the Etihad Stadium and exploring the remarkable story of East Manchester’s regeneration. The journey from decline to revival is a powerful testament to the impact of strategic urban planning and community-focused initiatives.
The Challenges:
- Historical Decline: By 2001, the population around the Etihad Campus had plummeted to 30,000 from 100,000 in 1951.
- Social and Economic Struggles: The area faced high unemployment (8.2%), poor health outcomes (lung cancer rates twice the national average), and low educational attainment (19% of students achieved no GCSEs).
- Housing Market Collapse: In the 1990s, terraced houses sold for as little as £5,000, with 20% of properties vacant before the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
The Turnaround:
The construction of the City Football Academy (C.F.A.) and the Ethical Campus has been a game-changer:
- Local Employment: 70% of jobs went to local residents, with 883 contracts awarded to local companies.
- Sustainability: 46% of materials were reused, and 0% went to landfill.
- Skill Development: 90 apprentices received 23,000 hours of training, paving the way for future opportunities.
Stadium-Led Regeneration:
The Etihad Campus has become a model for how sports facilities can drive urban renewal. From revitalizing brownfield sites to creating a vibrant community hub, the impact is undeniable.
Looking Ahead:
The ongoing initiatives in East Manchester are a source of inspiration for all of us working towards sustainable development and community empowerment.
A heartfelt thank you to Manchester City Educational Tours for hosting us and sharing these invaluable insights. Let’s continue to learn, collaborate, and drive positive change in our communities!
