Looking forward to the pics already, once again I am sure everyone on here is grateful for your latest efforts.jrb said:Massive(arf!) update coming up tomorrow. Plenty of changes since the last update. The site is deserted today due to the Easter Holidays, so I had a free run of the perimeter. Plenty of new vantage points have opened up around the site. It's safe to say I made the most of them while everyone is away. ;-) Also took picture updates of the Beswick Community Hub, the South Stand expansion, and the new bridge.
keep on checking back tomorrow evening.
Off home now for a few well earned beers. :-)

Does the Beswick Community Hub not have a pool?acton28 said:Are they extending and resurfacing a new section to the Fallowfield Loop cycle path into the stadium area/velodrome??
Eastlands/Sport City/Etihad Campus has:
Manchester Regional Athletics Arena (Sale Harriers, Belle Vue Racers and Manchester Kestrels/annual national and regional events)
English Institute of Sport
Sportcity Fitness Studio
National Squash Centre
Regional Tennis Centre
Manchester Velodrome / National Cycling Centre (various teams/Revolution cycling/world events)
BMX Track (indoors/world and nationals held here)
Etihad Stadium (Manchester City Football Club/MCWFC)
Phillips Park
Clayton Vale
Sportcity Leisure Complex
Former things on site:
B of the Bang (or F of the Fart)
We just need a foothold locally in other sports:
Rugby Union (bring Manchester Rugby Club from Cheadle? There are loads of clubs to move over)
Rugby League (Mancunians RL is based with Broughton Park Rugby Union F.C. at Hough End base; both them and Manc College have big ambititions)
Manchester Aquatics Centre has swimming covered, but why not add to the state of the art facilities at the Etihad with a decent pool for all teams to train in and public use?
Ice Hockey
Basketball
Handball
Netball
Cricket - I think Lancashire wanted a site close by but lost out on this.
Dodgeball - surely there is room for Manchester Bees Dodgeball Club? Diversity gets people into the shadows of the stadium.
Wouldn't it be great if the Great Manchester Run took in the campus too?
I think having as many sports in one campus as possible will encourage multi-discipline sportstars of the future. Alongside this links with coaches, physios, other sport analysts at Manc Uni etc could be highly beneficial in the longterm for the community, the business of MCFC and all connections.
The campus has so much potential already, and I hope that it develops and expands over time.
