Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

That didn't turn out right.
I will start again. Is Owens Park anywhere near the site of the old Fallowfield Stadium - which hosted a FA Cup final in 1893 -?

Completely at a tangent; my old old man did a lot of the structural design on the toast rack near Owens Park. Frustratingly I didn't know this at school despite it being in constant view.

I was looking at what appears to be a piece of the existing roof in the top left corner, that's not just suspended from the crane is it???

Edit: ahh, never mind. http://instagram.com/p/w1Tra5nYIg/ spotted it now.

So the media centre is a stairwell after all...

Makes it look like a lecture theatre.

That's good, they certainly need to be lectured prior to being strung up. Henry Winter, Martin Samuel & Simin Mullock apart.

Wonder if this free's up yet more space at the stadium for hospitality...
