Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I feel like the club should be able to get 5-6,000 people to go to WSL games, even if it's giving tickets away. Run promotions, target young children and their parents, win over the next generation etc.

Recently it seems like the Women's team has been relegated to a very minor topic at the club.
Women's football is a bit like the Emperor's New Clothes though
 
A reminder.

Going to the Coop Live Arena, Open Doors event on Thursday. If anyone has a question or questions they want answering, please either post them on the thread or PM them to me. I’ll do my best to get the question/s answered. Hopefully the Open Doors event will include a tour of the Coop Live Arena? If it does I’ll take some pictures if I’m allowed?

Robert Forrester our CEO and Liz Cope our CMO stopped by to see how construction was going! You can already tell, it's going to be incredible

Does look very impressive for an arena. In the current climate with the cost of raw materials going through the roof, any ideas how much this place will have cost to build? It’s going to take a good few years before it starts to make a profit whatever it is.
 
Went on the Open Doors event today. Sadly there was no tour inside the arena. The group of people on the Open Doors event was too big for that. I’ve put my name down for any future tour of the inside of the arena with a smaller group of of people. However, I did get some decent shots of the arena from the viewing platform opposite the arena. Also wrote down a few interesting snippets from the presentation. I’ll post the pictures and snippets tomorrow. Thanks to the Bam staff for hosting the Open Doors event.

Speaking at MIPIM, Gary Neville praised the work of Manchester City FC’s owners in redeveloping large areas of East Manchester and said he expected Manchester United’s new owner to take a similar approach.

“They invested in an area that needed it,” he said. “It was an area nobody ever really went before and that takes real courage,” he said.

“If you said to any developer in Manchester in 2007, invest a billion pounds in this area over the next 10 years, they wouldn’t be putting their hand up.”

Since taking over the club, Manchester City’s owner, Abu Dhabi United Group, has developed a new training ground for the club as well as a significant amount of housing in East Manchester through Manchester Life joint venture with the city council.

The Co-op Live arena is currently under construction, while plans were recently unveiled to expand the Etihad Stadium and develop a fan park.
“We need someone to buy the club and do basically what Manchester City have done.”
