Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Interesting to note the cabins and prelims set up on the Collar Site is going knowwhere though.

If there is no pressure to release the space Laings will be using the cabins for settling accounts and closing down the project.

Moving then storing cabins is probably more expensive than seeing how long they can leave the cabins where they are until there is a need for them on another site I guess.

A 10,000 capacity music venue linked to the stadium somehow is what I've been told.

Have heard that the bridge is getting a new sponsor after Suise gas is no more. Some tyre company is going to be the new sponsor

They better not stick chewing gum under my seat!!

They keep calling it The City Of Manchester Stadium? Thats the old name it seems weird calling it that now, didn't the owners want to buy the stadium and the council wouldn't let them or something?

I don't think you have to be worried about chewing gum mate, I see some blue the other day pick a massive booger and wipe it under his seat at the West Ham game, scruffy git.

Due to sponsorships I'd imagine.

For CL games it's Manchester City Stadium. The Emirates is likewise called Arsenal Stadium.

Bogey nights! Hope Tarquin and co don't leave any foie gras smeared under my seat.

Bang on re. the CL games, so I'd imagine it's the same reason for tonight's game as well.

TV cameras, also used for the video referee.

Pitch looked great at the start, and pretty similar at the end, I'm sure the ground staff will already be sorting it out, won't be an issue like it looked at Newcastle.

Hope you're right mate. My egg chasing and football hating son-in-law was positively salivating at the thought of our pitch being chewed up by "a real game".

He'll be very disappointed then, it looked fine, and before I turned it over, the army of ground staff were already out there giving it a manicure.

He should have gone over to the swamp if he wanted to see a cow meadow !!

Thanks for that; I learnt a new word. I might mow the sward tomorrow.
