360 aerial drone footage of Manchester city centre. :-)

Even though I know they are there, I'm quite shocked at the amount of ghost car parks at Piccadilly Basin, and next to it in the NQ. Thankfully property developers are now building on those ghost car parks.

That aside.

You can see the development potential for Mayfield and the land to the left of Piccadilly Train Station, which will include the proposed Civil Service relocation, the redevelopment of Piccadilly Train Station, the HS3 and HS2 Train Station, London Road Fire Station, etc. Hopefully?

Went to the City Store with the family today - new store is great but really noticed what a few posters have recently said - how tatty the area around the ground has become.

There is a medium term plan in place to redo all the external works once the north stand expansion is finished off.

I remember that pre South Stand extension plans there were plans done( and posted on the online site) for a corporate area with a view of the players tunnel. This was around 4 years ago when the club posted lots of ideas for us fans to think about. I remember printing them all off at the time...no idea where I then put them though!!!!

So we can't sell out our current corporate offerings so what do we do?
Create more at £8000 a season or £400 a game. Beggars belief

I was saying something similar at the start of the expansion - once the North side done, the outside needs a makeover - and it wouldn't have to be too expensive. Lighting can be very effective to make a stadium look better. The gray concrete it quite drab looking but I'm sure something can be done about it.

I don't have any inside knowledge of plans though, just using my own eyes and offering a subjective opinion that the outside would benefit from improvement.

edit - just seen your post about floor (not walls).

We should build a brand new envelope and roof as per Marseilles wonderful new roof structure, would look amazing and could be done for 50 million.

Isn't the plan to do the externals after the full project (CB & East as well as the North Stand) is completed? Maybe 10-15 years from now?

Doubt this could be done due to the roof design would need the ground vacating for a considerable time to remove the existing roof. Should have built a new purpose built stadium adjacent and then knocked the current one down but there would be mass hysteria. So they have to cut and make do and spend twice as much extending the current one
