Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Hi fbloke.

As I recall this was your vision for the future and virtually everything you predicted has happened.
Why not have a go at finishing off the dream so that we can either scoff (as many unbelievers did) or marvel at your ability to see into the future ?

If I knew more I would share it.

Everything that I have hard I have added to the thread and some of it has indeed come to pass, but a lot of it is just general stuff mixed in with logic.

As people like Worsley will tell you the plans themselves are so huge that its not like building a football themed, stand alone hotel where all you really need is planning permission. The power issues that he brought to light for example help explain the delays as the club and partners have to have a working solution before they go public and from what people are saying the power needs would be akin to what the Trafford Centre uses and perhaps more!

As I've said in the past I firmly believe that there will be an indoor arena on part of the collar site as well as other mixed use entertainment elements.I have always had a liking for a Pixar World indoor attraction with huge amounts of Apple tech stuff too but thats pure guesswork of course.

I do think that the end point of a complete 'campus' and beyond will be much bigger than most people expect.

Fingers crossed that we start to see more of that vision being announced soon.

Woudnt it be nice if Khaldoon introduced that in his eagerly anticipated end of season interview.
 
I only pop in here from time to time, can someone give all the lurkers a brief update?
Am I right in thinking..

S stand building work to finish on time
N stand preliminary works to start soon, construction later 15/16 season
Asda site already bought and thought to be bulldozed for major hotel/attraction
Ive always struggled to remember what part of the surrounding area the collar site actually is - and whats hapening there?
 
I am pretty certain they are putting the extra 3 rows in front of the Colin bell stand as well. Be interesting to see what happens with the dugout / walk upto the pitch!!!

Currently by the sound of things

SS will be completed on time
N stand will start end of next season ready for 17/18
The collar site is between the stadium and alan turning way which is where the attarction/hotel will be built

Definite Fact

Asda site is not bought. MCFC haven't even contacted Asda about a deal and it's just a rumour. I suspect someone on this board made this up getting overly excited.
 
My understanding is there are no current plans to extend North Stand. We are hosting a rugby world cup game at the end of next season aren't we?? If so there will be no opportunity to start the work. Also Colin Bell won't get extra three rows anytime soon.

Definite fact mate? Really? Quite a lot of people seem convinced it's happening (I don't know anything myself)

Of course there are plans to extend the North Stand, they were included in the planning application initially were they not. The only question is when they go ahead with it, and they can certainly start some basics such as moving the club shop (even if only temporarily since I think it may be planned to include it in the North Stand) and doing some ground works.

I agree with you that City havent bought ASDA or ben in contact.

Its not City that would do that and having a company like ADUG do the talking gives City plausible deniability.
