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

When is the academy opening ?

Meant to be November but from what I saw on site today.......lets just say the programme is tight.

just had a quick mooch around the stadium.. there's a big scaffold being erected on city square, anyone got any ideas?

It's a realistic model of the swamp.

What about anfield? That would be third on my list,

LOL, the back 5 rows you can barely see the other end because of the upper tier extending down, and the front three or four rows you are mostly at shin pad level (though its better than the emirates). Swamp is ok for away fans, if you're not over 5'8", but I'm glad I'm not a home fan in the first 5 rows, they must struggle to see over the hill. Villa park improved noticeably when they moved away fans to the side, but its not great in the lower tier if you are near the front. Worst this year will be the £60 QPR, where you will be lucky to see both goals, wherever you sit. Palace is a shit hole too.

Club must be in legal dispute with one of / the construction company at the academy. My brother has a law company in London and has been asked to represent the construction company.
He hasn't said yes to the job yet

So when can we walk over the new bridge?

When the public realm bits are done at the Academy end - the steps alongside Alan Turing way weren't finished the other week - they could open it once the pavements are down on that side of the road even if the Academy/Mini-Stadium are still building sites

Is this because of the possible lateness of the Academy being completed ? I always thought both parties had a clause in contracts ref "on completion date ...".
I assume it must be down to something else then.
