Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Centurions]

Any hotel in the pipeline?

I'd be flabbergasted if one isn't included in any plans for the collar site. What better way to ensure constant footfall in whatever gets built there.

Jrb teasing us all yet again :(
I just want Gregg's doing the catering and a warm area for pre/post match drinking... not fussed about anything else

McDonald's will move from Asda to a new site. You heard it here first.

Everyone said that about asda and that they were gonna build something mega there. Turns out the something mega is a DW gym, as part of the asda...

Got to say, that would be a terrible place to build a hotel. Think you're confusing us with those over the way.

What I will add.

What I''ve seen shows the whole campus, and not just the collar site.

Whether the above ever see's the light of day is another question, but the vision is clearly there.

I sincerely hope it is delivered, as it will be a real game changer for City, East Manchester, and Manchester.

Just been reading through one of the reports to MCC Executive at yesterdays meeting (copy of link below) and on page 17 of said report one of MCCs Capital Budgets projects states "£403k spend for Etihad Expansion - Public Realm". The Budget spend is for the year 2016/17. JRB, i know your interested in all things to do with MCC Planning etc. Just wondered whether you could extract the information out better of do a little bit of digging around and see what you might find. Certainly sounds promising to do with either the Stadium or Collar Site.

All of that list refers to highway related expenditure so maybe access road improvements or something like that. In any event you don't get much for £403k these days.

Yep, you beat me to it but that's basically a new set of traffic lights.

They're gonna build a huge fuck off glass dome around the area, like in the Simpsons movie, so it never bleeding rains on match day anymore.
