Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

Plenty of activity since the last set of pictures.

Shrubs, *hedges*, and trees have been added across the perimeter of the site. The hedges totally block any view of the training academy from ground level. TBH that's a pity, but understandable. However, there are still various vantage points at the back of the training academy that afford a good view of large parts of the training academy.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

Great photos jrb - I suppose it was inevitable that the secretive shrouds would go up to allow City to train in private but it is a bit of a shame.

So can I suggest you purchase one of:-
a) Quadrocopter
b) A set of tall step ladders
c) Access Key to all the tall buildings near by from which you can get a zoom shot

And a spare camera battery. :-)

Cheers jrb,

Three rows of trees, a hedge, a fence and an embankment!!!!! Better sent than the Maginot Line. You'd think they didn't want people to know what's going on.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

So I guess we can expect a few earth tremors in the next few weeks if the piling rig is in place?
I think that there were about 100 recorded around Manchester when the stadium was originally built.

It is all a con - They are actually "Fracking"

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

Apologies if covered earlier in the thread, but do we have a timeframe on when the expanded South Stand will be open?

Start of 2015/16 season.

Thanks mate
