Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[sweenyuk]

Maybe we can have our own "Alright Wall of China" around the stadium to keep out those pesky rags?

Joking apart I do feel we should circle the complex properly and insist on ticket checks before entry on match days to reduce the current security risk

eh? WHAT security risk!

It doesn't seem that incredulous to think the long sort after 'Leisure partner' might have links to today's news.
It wasn't that long ago City/ADUG were talking to Apollo leisure, but references to Warner Bro's is something utterly light years ahead.
It's going to be an interesting 2016 over at Eastlands Towers...

While the continued speculation continues regarding the collar site and what it could be used for, I noticed this recently while looking through some old stuff on the internet.

It’s to do with the old Mayfield Rail Station site adjacent to Piccadilly Rail Station, which can be no more than about a mile from the Etihad. It was suggested that this site could be developed into a entertainment and exhibition centre, but later plans look like it could be used as apartments and living areas. It looks like it would be developed in line with the new HS2 rail contract when approved, along with upgrading the area around Piccadilly itself.

Quote: Manchester Mayfield

"LCR have formed the Mayfield Partnership with Manchester City Council and Transport for Greater Manchester to deliver the regeneration of the Mayfield quarter, a 24 acre site that will extend Manchester city centre."


Due to its closeness to the Etihad and the input of Manchester City Council, what happens to Mayfield could also impact on our collar site, as obviously the council would not want to duplicate use.

Does anyone know if the development of the Mayfield site has been approved now and what it is to be used for.

Sorry if this has previously been covered.

Can't wait to see the North Stand expansion. But if they do a single tier, they'd also have to "swap" the South and Family stand crowd around surely? A single Dortmund-style tier would be wasted a bit on the family crowd.

I can't see them doing it personally, imagine the nightmare of getting everyone to relocate. If they were going to do a single tier it'd make loads more sense to have done it on the South Stand.

Not the best looking building. It used to be hangar that housed Airships, in Krausnick, Germany. But look what they've done with it.

Something similar, Tropical Island, not the building, next to the Etihad, would be a great idea.

Let's be honest, on typical Winter's day and night in Manchester, a bit of the below wouldn't go a miss.

The link to the Tropical Isalnd website is below the pictures.

even so with say a new third tier, we could move the family stand to the top and create another singing section behind the north stand goal
