Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

ISTR somewhere back a few hundred pages there was mention of an April start on service diversions - but I can't be bothered to search back, so may be wrong - some one with better memory / more knowledge should come along and put us straight soon

Damn, you made me Google ISTR. RIc, can we ban acronyms?

Instead of "can we ban acronyms" you can use CWBA - much easier to type.

Sure will be mentioned somewhere in here but what's the deal with the rest of the stadium expansion

Any updates on this?

With Guardiola on board, we could sell another 6k season tickets no problem. Our games are already Cup Finals for our opponents, but the profile of the club, and its potential has just gone up another notch.

I'd expect another 1000 or more Chinese tourists alone with Guardian in charge. Chuck in a Messi or Neymar and you can see plenty of extra brand new demand.

Then chuck in the thousands of "fans" like me who only go to 4 or 5 games a season turning up for a few more.

They really need to get cracking now.

is not North stand suppose to start expansion after this season. Add another 10k to total stadium capacity to 70k.

not quite - we're at 55,000 now - another 6700 to 7000 from the North Stand extension will leave us at around 62,000

It's going to be funny watching arsenal fans over the next few years.

They're all convinced that the 10 years with no trophies and no spending was an investment in their stadium that would mean they had huge financial power for years to come.

In 5 years time, Us, Spurs and Chelsea will all have bigger stadia and The dippers are going to be close as well.

You might be able to add the state-aided club West Ham to that list too.

Not had an update as to north stand for a couple of months. I will find out tommorrow the latest state of play.
