Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

So it would be a totally new roof and supporting structure similar to the process employed on the south stand? Can't imagine it would be cheap. Mind you, the south stand must've cost a few pennies to re-develop. Cheers

£80m has been said on here

surely the stand would have been designed using the 2013 RIBA regulations and not the superceded 2007 coding matrix and therefore it would be under stage 3 and 4 technical design.

Design started in 2011 so it remained under 2007 coding

Moggzy, Do you think its a good idea posting your personal work details/plans/pics whilst your still on site ?

It's not just cost - its value.

Why spend all that money for 1000 / 1500 extra seats?

It would take decades to recoup the cost

By my thumbnail reckoning it will take over a decade to recoup the cost of this extension. Thanks for the pics and the info, by the way.

Does that mean Sheikh Mansour is committed long-term and isn't bored yet? ;)

I must say that the last few pages certainly contain a fair amount of constructive dialogue.

But the £80m isnt just trying to be recouped by ticket sales?! It's more fans spending at the stadium, food, beer, merchandise etc and the new collar site development with shops, bars, restaurants etc that will be alongside the new tourist destination. I assume the club would also love to host major finals like champions league and europa league but need to make the stadium bigger and better.
