A formality in any case. City and the Council are incredibly close And our plans will be well known in MCC planning circles.

We need a fleet of these electric buses that are used solely on match days at the Etihad.
The club needs to find a sponsor, (cough!) the Coop and OVG, and buy a fleet of Electric buses. They can be used during the week for public transport when there are no matches, recouping the sponsors money, or putting the money going back into improving the transport to and from the Etihad Campus. The improved Metrolink and walking proposals aren’t enough to cope with matches, concerts and events.
Six months to go! Say ‘yellow’ to BeeNetwork buses
With exactly six months to go before Greater Manchester brings buses back under local control, the first Bee Network co-branded bus was unveiled in Bolton!
The first branded bus entered service today and will serve the number 8 route connecting Bolton and Manchester city centre via Farnworth and Salford.
When franchising is introduced in September, 50 brand new electric Bee Network buses will be introduced on day one, alongside new ‘Euro VI’ vehicles and dozens more co-branded buses from the existing fleet, including Vantage buses. A further 50 electric buses will also be introduced onto the network in March 2024, when the second part of franchising starts.
The reveal of the new yellow co-branded bus comes as an order was also placed for a further 170 electric buses that will operate in and around Stockport by 2024.
Also.
New digital passenger bus information displays are currently being trialled in Manchester city centre as part of a 6-month pilot, with two further sites due to be added.

The bit that concerns me is this bit , the bridge needs wider over the tram tracks as looks like accident awaiting to happen, if you make it wider it will like have two Joe Mercer Ways for exits and entrance into the site
It will definitely be soon. Everything is in place.
I think the vast majority are going to be really happy with it, the purists who don't want any hospitality may be disappointed by 'Sky Bars' and 'Players Club' areas though.

Great idea. I really think setting up electric buses (lots of them), more bus lanes, and some airport-style taxi ranks would make a huge difference after matches. This is what all the biggest German clubs do, even the ones with good rail links. It is not rocket science. The current dangerous shambles can't continue. That said diabolical transport is the norm at most English stadia.We need a fleet of these electric buses that are used solely on match days at the Etihad.

With information pulled from Planning Statement on COOP live shows you footfall for a game and also COOP live, it looks like 60 per cent for a Manchester City game are heading towards the South Stand area and the same roughly for COOP live.
With nothing going to happen with Metro Link, why don't the club build their own transport hub at the former Mercedes garage and run their own shuttle train to a destination further down the line where a multi-storey car park could be built next to Beswick Arches or further down where is available land that has better transport links same in the other direction that they would link up with a major road or train line.
Look at this tiny wee train that runs to Stourbridge you would buy more carriages to run the service lol
