Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

Been told there is quite a significant issue with regard to power capacity for the site and upgrades required which may impact upon any works to the North Stand. No start date imminent.

I suspect its more the collar site and other plans they are having issues with and that might impact the north stand in the meantime?

Depends what extra capacity was built into the original design for the Commonwealth Games site I guess, and whether that capacity has been used up by subsequent developments. I doubt the original design in the 90's factored in power capacity for the huge investment that has taken place since 2008.

Building a new primary substation won't be a quick process. 2 years?

There's plenty of local expertise in electricity abstraction to call upon!

Is the front row on level 2 in the south stand in use this season?

Yes

For some unknown reason Sheff Wed didn't take the first two rows in the 2nd tier. It was taped off. Understandable if it was City below, but it wasn't

I was referring to people with gardening businesses based at their homes.

usually is for away fans to stop them trying to get over excited and fall over... also to make it more difficult to aim at people if they lob anything

That is why I asked. Couldn't tell from the north stand but noticed when it showed the scoreboard on motd. I'm front row in the north stand and don't fancy being shifted when/if they extend the north.

Does this mean the North Stand is DEFINITELY being upgraded? Thought it was yet to be confirmed.

Yeah the plan was always to start it after the South Stand, just start date was tbc...

No decision on the North Stand as yet, planning permission in place but no more than that
