Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

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

A bit of time to kill.

Aniline chemical works to the new training academy.

What's that area of turf in the top picture? Is it a bowling green attached to the works social club perhaps?

Fuck me, there were some serious quantities of asbestos cement to remove when they demolished those buildings.

Those pictures look worlds apart. In a very real sense they are, of course.

The council provided an ''amenity grant'' to demolish redundant/rundown buildings and grass the empty space to improve the appearance of the area. The health and safety issues at the site were not taken seriously by management or work force, full protective gear was provided but not policed, a lot of the chemicals that caused tumours/cancers were absorbed through the skin and ended in the bladder, as a primary cancer but then spread . In the last year i worked there, three off my shift died from cancer, 38, 42 and 51 years old.
One night a spillage of oleum fumed into the atmosphere and reached across town into Trafford Park, making eyes sting and breathing difficulties, the firm estimated 5 gallons,, yeah right. To see the area now is miraculous.

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

does anyone know when the EDS etc will start to play in the new mini stadium?

There was talk that the first EDS game would be Everton at the end of October, but whether that still holds true, I don't know.

My friend who's in the Under 18s has been told they'll be moving in on the 3rd week of October... no plans yet as too which games will be played there, but the relocation period should be the end of this month and throughout November.

Does anyone else reckon there will be news reports when the CFA opens? not just ssn but bbc and itv. This country has seen nothing like it before and we all know if a few other choice clubs had done it there would be. Scandalous if theres not.

When it's up and running the club will of course be inviting the press in. I'd be surprised if they don't hold some kind of event, to ensure it gets top publicity. And it will. It will be all over the media.

They'll wait until it's properly up and running to get the maximum impact.

your optimistic, it'll be on the local news and a tweet or two on sky. We are ruining football by the way by not giving young English talent a go...

In my office I have Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs fans mostly, a Leicester fan and spoke to a Millwall fan recently. None of them knew what we were doing regarding the campus so It may be a shock to many if we get exposure once we decide its time to open it all

Rags that live that side of Manchester are blind to it all

Definitely.
This is why I haven't shed any tears when the flyover pictures were stopped.
Wait until it's completely finished rather than giving the game away early. Some people want to shake, fondle and ultimately unwrap their xmas presents before the day itself :(

Yep. Vicky Kloss will have all this in hand. A major unveiling to the world's press will I'm sure be happening when the time is right. I don't know what you mean about the "flyover pictures",
