Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

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

This is what the whole site looked like before the 2002 Commonwealth Games brought about the transformation.

Great shot any chance of this being enlarged, Bradford Gas Works, Beswick Railway Yard, Bradford Pit, Clayton Analine, "The Way We Were"

Came across that by chance.

There is a larger version, but it's the same picture magnified, and was slightly blurred.

Great picture.
Does anyone have photos of the stadium being built stage by stage? There was a website around 2001/02 I think it was called Blue Wookie or something like that.
Anyway he used to put up great photos of the grounds progress every few weeks, but they've disappeared never to be seen again :(

Not sure there are any stage by stage pictures, but there are some pictures floating around the interweb.

Cheers guys. But I've seen most of these pics before.
Maybe Blue Wookie is a bluemoon member and could post them on here.
It would be a great shame if these great photos were lost forever.

Ha, I was just about to ask a couple of questions and you answered ahead of me. you psychic?

The other question was about the 6th form college? Did we just give the land away free or are we contributing to the build as well?

We are contributing to the build cost - sorry forgotten the figures but I have seen them quoted before

We should get that rag who tried to sell off plots of his land on the CFA to stop us building it to officially open it. I can see it now, tears running down his bitter rag face as he and Terry Christian prepare to cut the ribbon on the best training centre in the world, before Khaldoon takes the scissors and says "nah I don't think so lads, in your dreams"
