Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

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

Bit of an update - a huge landscaping contract to redo the whole of the stadium perimeter is currently being designed. Be very interesting to see the long term location of city square.

Any sort of time scale on this?

Re. The 80mm, thought I read somewhere that the desso needed a different base layer thickness to the original pitch, something to do with the root structure. Maybe that's bollox and it needed to be deeper to stop the desso needles hitting the water or drainage pipes under the pitch.

Do the first team train full time now at the new training ground or are they still using Carrington?

I don't think they are bothering at the moment.

Do the first team train at all now?

Well they certainly don't practice corners, set pieces, dribbling. Hart hasn't practiced his distribution in 3-4 years and Silva isn't practicing shooting...

There's a potentially serious point here. Our recent slump in form can be pretty much pinpointed to the time we moved the location of the squad's training. Footballers are notoriously creatures of habit so this could go some way to explain our current torpid offerings.

Which was why I aired my surprise at the move. The youth teams should be using the new facility until the end of the season to highlight any snags. Once it has been fully tested by the kids, then it is time for the first team to move in the summer. I cannot believe we have left Carrington for a half finished facility midway through the season. I can only presume it was to apply pressure to BAM as they are late but you surely don't jeopardise the season because of it.

Fucking right, squirty. Blue-tinted glasses off, the swamp is such a fucking ugly construction. And wtf is it with all that red brick around the dug-outs? I looks so fucking....errrrr....small time, like a dividing wall in the back garden of a Barratt home.

what an eyesore that is, what is that screwed to the wall is it for fag butts

I don't want to come across "all Laurence Lewellyn-Bowen", but that would look so much better if it was rendered and painted. As you say a total fucking eyesore.

I'm sure he's mightily relieved , or maybe not

Good point but i'm only asking as i'v got Nephews and Nieces over on Friday and they want players autographs, do I go to Carrington which is down the road from me, or is it the Etihad Campus?
