Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa
From recollection some of the additional pitch-side seating is being released in Spring 2015.
Is this right? Any more information available? Could we be back above 47k by the end of the season?

It also didn't occupy a very big site.
Get a cluster of a few things like that in and you would really drive demand for a hotel, themed foodcourt/street, good quality retail, etc.

The last race held at Manchester was on the 7 November 1963 at the Castle Irwell course, which was subsequently transformed into a residential complex for students. Ex-jockey Willie Carson was among those who were delighted by the prospect of racings return to Manchester.
Good lad - Willy!.

If horse racing ever does come back to Manchester, there'll be a thread on here with fbloke telling us how he predicted it years ago.

I knew you were going to say that, I predicted it.

Peel Holdings were once said to be interested in building a racecourse opposite the old Queens Arms pub (now Amans Indian Restaurant) next to the East Lancs road Boothstown area...but that was probably ten years ago now.
Upon completion, it was also mooted that the Haydock Park site would be sold for residential building.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa
The racecourse development is supposed to include a golf course I believe to encourage usage on non racing days, this will replicate the old Manchester Racecourse at Castle Irwell which had the original Manchester Golf Club within its track. Quite a lot of opposition to the scheme from the local residents, traffic congestion etc, which is understandable. However this is Peel Holdings were talking about and generally, what Peel Holdings want, Peel Holdings get. You've only got to look at the Trafford Centre, the workd and his wife objected to that development and although it took them 10 years to get approval, they still got it.
