Looking at the movie it looks like there will be heaps of extra space in underneath the new stand because of the way it is building out as well as up. Interesting to see how they make use of that.

The hospitality that is now under the East Stand is moving over there, I think.

BTW, why havent the different sides of the stadium been named yet? Ridiculous that we call them by their cardinal directions!

Why not the Joe Mercer Stand or St Marks End or something?

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Apologies if it's already been asked but will there be a medical centre on site to facilitate transfer medicals for incoming players
And so not needing to use the Bridgewater anymore?

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

If the owners think a medical centre like the one at the Bridgewater would be cost effective I'm sure we'd have it on the Etihad Campus, but why pay out for the scanners and other hi-tech machines they use that cost in excess of £1m when we can have a contract with the Bridgewater that is surely much better value?

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Anyone thinking of moving up to the third tier from down below? I am right in thinkinh it's likely to be considerably cheaper

If City don't make use of the proposed Institute of Sports Science being built as part of the Beswick Community Hub, then it would be very strange.

The Manchester Institute of Sports Science and Sports Medicine

2.14 The concentration of Manchester’s academic, clinical and sporting assets and
their focus in and around the Etihad Stadium has prompted the concept of a
Manchester Institute of Sports Science and Sports Medicine. Work
undertaken to date, led by the City Council, has highlighted that many
academic, health, and sports related organisations based in the city see the
potential benefits of the Institute including: easier access to enhanced
diagnostics; research and development; continued professional development;
education; and access to facilities and equipment.

2.15 The significant talent pool of young athletes within all the sporting
organisations in Manchester also lends itself to an Institute focused on
research into the investigation of growth, maturation and development of
young performers. It is also evident that research outcomes within this
population also have potential links to corresponding community projects in
attempting to increase physical activity, health and wellbeing.

2.16 The due diligence work undertaken to date has indicated that there is strong
interest from academic, health, and sports related organisations based in the
city and that there is sufficient interest from internationally significant partners
to assemble and drive forward an Institute proposition which incorporates the
following key elements:

• A diagnostics suite including MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), A CT
(Computerised Tomography) scanner and ultrasound in partnership
with leading radiographers and clinicians;

• A performance measurement and data capture centre capable of
accommodating a range of athletes and sports

• A research centre offering collaborative, cross-sport facilities to work in
partnership with Universities, including hypoxic, hyperbaric and
hydrotherapy facilities

• A centre for Continuing Professional Education and Development in
Sports Science and Sports Medicine, able to offer theoretical and
practical courses in partnership with professional bodies and
associations;

• A population of young potentially elite athletes across a range of sports
including football, cycling and taekwondo, able to participate in
longitudinal studies;

• A local population suffering from poor health outcomes and high levels
of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, who would benefit from
research into topics such as the benefits of physical activity; and

• Scope to house specialist rehabilitation, strength and conditioning and
consulting facilities for a range of specialists and practitioners

2.17 MCFC, the City Council and UK Sport are the principal partners in this next
stage of work which will develop a detailed business case for the Institute.
MCFC’s Board has resolved to contribute financially to the project.

In training medical specialists we oftern talk about clinicians being competent and confident. The new centre will be ideal for sports Science, musicals, performance and rehabilitation. Whether it will be a good place to treat players who have just been injured in a game remains to be seen - and there are many factors including the nature of the injury and skills and how current the experience of the specialists are (plus wider support services - including the scanners that have been mentioned - that may be needed).

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

the infra-structure costs of 'our own' Bridgewater would be overtaken by wages for a large highly skilled team of specialists. Collaboration makes more sense imho, given the evolving and global nature of sport injury treatment. The American universities have been funding research on a scale only they deem affordable, given their involvement in major sports . We do not need to compete, just develop a relationship, something we seem good at
