Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

I know this has been mentioned before but is the pitch being lowered in the close season? I'm asking as I've just been reading about the 'pitchside' seats.

I'm sure that I read about a year ago that it was, but as I understand it now it won't be lowered. I'll try and find the pic that proves why....

I can't find it, too many posts and I only saw it the once. I'm sure someone will have it. In the meantime, this 3D image matches the diagram that I saw as part of the plans:

If the pitch gets lowered you wouldn't be able to see the ball being passed around on the deck due to the advertising boards.

Pitch not being lowered, there's a crane on it removing the old roof as soon as the season ends so there wouldn't be time to lower the pitch, it's a tight schedule as it is BTW if it was the area that the boards sit on would have to be lowered

Won't the boards come back to the seat railings ?

No the image is correct the ball boys and stewards sit between the boards and the seat rails

Corner section fully in place this morning when i drove passed on the South West side.

Other corner will not be put up until the old roof has been taken down. They are leaving the gap there so that the big crane can build a smaller crane inside the stadium to dismantle the roof

Thanks or that Wolfie.

Heard the roof will be coming down late July or early August, if true?

Would have to be much earlier as they can't even put in the concrete steps for the front 3 rows until the roof is gone.

An architecturally disappointing start to City Life, in my opinion.

The once exciting New Islington proposal has now been brought down to earth with a bang!

Link to the design and access statement is below the renders.

I can't open it, have they scrapped the rest of the plans?

It's still opening. Renders have gone missing though.

Are these the first 300 homes for rent from the 6000 to be built by the Sheikh?

Also, will they be linked to City so that the club can benefit from the income?
