How's about a fanzone village with huge beer tent like Oktoberfest whilst North Stand is redeveloped?

Hotel makes sense I guess. That plot's big enough for more than just a hotel though would you say?

Looks way bigger a plot than most/all hotels in or around town!?

Yea this would be ideal, an indoor gigantic City Square experience, keeping us warm as say tonight it's scheduled to rain, so I can see the numbers of people who would want to be in City Square falling due to poor weather.

I remember the setup they had at the Ajax/Amsterdam Arena when we played there a few years ago, this for me somewhat matched the setup we have at City these days.

I say f*ck it.... giant skyscraper, biggest in the world. Just because we can.

The council would let us build a giant turd statue there after all the good HHSM has done for the city!

They wouldn't I don't think. They are conscious of not allowing huge buildings in residential areas.

I like the turd statue idea, especially painted red.

They already have one just off Matt Busby way - we'd just have to make sure ours is bigger!

The City Centre is fast becoming a residential area with huge buildings set to dominate (especially the St. Johns quarter)...but yes, I wouldn't expect anything huge around around the Etihad. Then again the Etihad is a huge building (and getting more 'hugerer'). So I don't simply haven't a clue!
Along with some kind of leisure development (still 'god knows what') I suspect a iconic hotel to be on the plot somewhere. And a roof.
C'mon Tolm...oil this thread up a bit!

Agree with what others have said I think there is absolutely nil chance of getting a skyscraper on that location.

I don't see the point in building a skyscraper there. There's plenty of ground space to build a good size hotel of high quality without needing to go up and up and up. I can't see the owners plowing money into one in that location, there's not currently enough around there for the views to be noteworthy.
