Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

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

Has there been anything floating around about what maybe happening with the collar site? or is nothing going to be happening with that area for the next few years whilst the expansion is happening? I asked one of the people running the tour if there was any plans as the asda site is also highlighted as an area for development, all we were told is "there are big amazing plans but we can't say yet" just wondering if we'll hear anything over the next year or is it just a waiting game

I think they've had their hands full doing the Academy and the Bridge and the South Stand Expansion
And will then have their hands full doing the North Stand Expansion
I see no movement before 2020 TBH on the Collar Site

City should start selling 100% waterproof and windproof coats to those in the South Stand, it'd all help with FFP

These would be perfect... No need to bring our Bananas then :-D

No need for these or a roof. It never rains in Manchester, not on match days anyway.

Collar site much earlier than that - has started to move.will be predominantly retail led.

Few more upto date stadium facts.

Huge amount to do for pool game. Columns on 2nd tier south stand concourse quite restrictive.

Front row out of action at start of season.

As season progresses the front 3 rows in the lower tier will progress block by block.

Around the pitch will look shite on tv during the season. Very scruffy.

Capacity just under 1000 down as we speak.

First front rows seats released January 15

Second batch march 15

At this point capacity exceeds current

Programme is tight!!!

Expect first two fixtures of 2015 2016 to be away from home!!!!

Those sitting in south east corner level 2 will get wet if it rains vs Liverpool!!

Negotiations ongoing re north stand - will happen possibly as soon as November start

Xxx

Thanks for the update, to be honest I use to like watching all the building work durring the season as it was another topic of discussion as the stadium changed. Hopefully the excitement off the pitch is again matched upon it.

By the way is any of the steel work appearing outside the SS are is it still early days?

2 small sections of steel up only so far. Big crane kicks in after Liverpool game!! For 6 months. Lifting the roof steel into place.

Surely unlikely they'll start the North Stand in November? The Rugby World Cup is next year and can't see it being ready for that.

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

Thanks for the info Worsley

I had no idea the front row seats are to be released this season. That's good

You mentioned November as a start date for the North Stand, are you talking Nov 2015?
