    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    How far into the time limit imposed for the handover of the Collar Site to the JV? I think we have a few years left yet but iirc we only had 10 years to break ground or hand the land back to the council?

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    I cant remember what the exact number was but I posted something ages ago that was to expect the tallest building to be 15 storeys or thereabouts.

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    As we watch Anfield get a new stand, Spurs inching towards breaking ground, Chelsea with a pipe dream etc what really becomes obvious is how all these clubs are limited in what they are building. Admittedly there are a few shops and apartments included here and there but the plans for the wider...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    From what I understand any future partnership with the RFU would use the Etihad and existing facilities nothing more, nothing less. A couple of games a season would use the main stadium and games below the first 15 would use the Campus 7ker. For those who dont know the UAE has a long history...

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    City and the RFU are looking at partnering for the future England games (all age groups) that are played away from Twickers. It seems we will finally get Union at the Campus.

    I think Laings will make sure they go above and beyond on all of the jobs of ADUG as its a very long term and fruitful partnership if they get it right. The Manchester work alone would fill an order book for a decade or more and then there's other parts of the UK too. ;-)

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    Its interesting that they seem to have designed the stadium with the 'bigger than Arsenal' mindset. I'm forever told that there are about 50k on Spurs' waiting list so you would think that, like Sheikh Mansour has for City, there was a plan to be much bigger than 61k wouldnt you?

    There could not be a more fitting tribute to Andy if we all donated a little something in his memory.

    ifiwasarichfan condolences (Funeral details update P13)

    I count myself amongst the fortunate ones as I knew Andy, although I wish I had known him better. The word altruistic was probably invented so that we could use it when describing him, a truly, genuinely, wonderful man. As I am sure many Bluemooners will testify Andy was baffled by the way...

    We've often talked about what might be coming to the collar site. Many of you know that I've talked about VR etc and lots of us see that as a likely element of the developments. Well have a look at this https://thevoid.com/

    Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

    As I posted after my behind the scenes tour with other remarkable and handsome bloggers and tweeters Laings have a few hours each day that they could use that they currently dont feel the need to. That tells me that they are confident it will be done.

    Hiya, Having worked for two decades with young people via the medium of computers and computer games in particular and having been part of funded studies into the effects of computer games on young people I would make a few points. 1. Young people love computer games and IT in general and its...
