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

this collar site thing ... no idea what it is or where it is ... can someone point it out on a map for me please?

Its roughly purple area with the red arrow point it - it also includes part of the other purple blob - the section directly to the north of the red-arrowed one, the bit bounded by Joe Mercer Way, Car Parks and Alan Turing Way

The real problem that ADUG/CFG/MCC face is that unlike Bilbao and the Guggenheim there is a rather large fly in the ointment called Abu Dhabi.

There will likely be more call on the Sheikh's billions to draw any similar world class attraction back home rather than into Manchester. They have the Louvre over there already BTW ;-)

I'm not saying it wont/cant happen but I feel its unlikely.

I said years and about 20,000 pages of this thread ago that a museum and art venue would be my preferred thing and one that leans towards technology and science too.

A massive aquarium is another possibility and one that would make the Sea Life Centre look plain redundant, but could that be OK'd?

Anyway, I'm not sure we will hear anything for some time yet and that deadline to use the site or lose it is ticking too.

It's a little less sinister, bud ;)

Abu Dhabi felt the worldwide recession and subsequent financial downturn was impacting their efforts to find the right commercial partners.

Regardless of their own huge cash reserves, they want the site to be a long-term association. The overwhelming feedback, going back a couple of years, was simply nobody could make the sort of commitment they are after.

Imagine the casino site being the cherry on top. I am with you, technology may well be the key.

Suisse Power & Gas SA (SuisseGas) have been unveiled as Barclays City’s newest commercial partner.

As part of that partnership, SuisseGas has secured the naming rights for the new community bridge linking the Etihad Stadium with the soon-to-be-opened City Football Academy and significantly extending the Etihad Campus.

At 190m, or 208 yards, the new bridge, designed by Rafael Vinoly, is as long as two football pitches.

The SuisseGas Bridge will be formally unveiled on Wednesday 26th November, when Manchester City will hand ownership over to Manchester City Council for community use, before opening to the public on Thursday 27th November.

The three-year agreement sees SuisseGas become the Club’s Official Gas and Electricity Partner in the UK, Italy and Switzerland.

Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive of Manchester City, said:

“We are delighted to welcome SuisseGas as the first commercial partner to support the expansion of the Etihad Campus into our new City Football Academy. SuisseGas is a young company, committed to developing a direct relationship with its consumers in new markets, and this relationship will help raise awareness of their work.

“The SuisseGas Bridge is an important physical structure for the Etihad campus and for the East Manchester region, but it goes beyond that. It is a symbolic link between the top quality footballers who play in the Etihad Stadium and the future talent being developed across the bridge.”

Gianluca Borelli, General Manager of SuisseGas, said:

"SuisseGas 'energy effect', besides being our claim, reflects our mission and our spirit, which we are delighted to share with a team and a region having a key focus on the enthusiasm and on the energy of their fans and people. We are therefore very pleased to support Manchester City, one of the most noble and beloved football team in the world.

“Our group strongly believes in the sport world and its values. Supporting sport clubs of different natures and categories creates a boost in terms of social life, aggregation and education for young people. A company of great stature and tradition as Manchester City proves how the challenge for winning takes work, determination and above all love; that's all about life energy!".
