Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Gone for a Burton]

What would we do with two stadiums ? And also thought the CFA was already too small where would a stadium go or do you mean it will go where ASDA is or where other business are

Take your time and read carefully and slowly.

And is the cheetah racing going to be inside the wrap or outside?

I’ll keep you posted.

This image gives a good idea of just how much extra capacity could be added by making the side as big as the stands behind the goals and then filling in the corners.

They would be MASSIVE.

Not knocking him but its not true - why would you spend tens of millions wrapping it before final expansion works?

It’s not tens of £millions£ !!

 

[Gone for a Burton]

You wouldn’t. It’s just pure fantasy.

It’s pure fantasy to think it WON’T be done !!

7???

Burton said wrapped after the hotel is done, so 3 years ?

More nonsense.

File this with great northern end and Centurions stand.

If we intend extending the east and west stands there is no chance we wrap the stadium before that work is complete.

The only nonsense in plain sight here I’d you inability to understand the owners long term plans and ambitions.

Perhaps you’d be more comfortable returning to the days of Swales and Halford Limited !!

You forgot to mention the 2 biggest parts of the plans, the log flume & the travelator

If you’re gonna do it, do it properly mate

It was always going to catch someone.

Congratulations, you’re the one.

The owner wants to build the very finest stadium in the world ‘ in his own name ‘,the current stadium was always considered to be ‘medium term temporary’ and a new one was planned from the outset.

The CFA is a huge footprint, much bigger than the Etihad Campus, more land is being bought around both locations.

The biggest long term attraction to the owners wasn’t the stadium, it was the availability of large ares of cheap land with common boundaries.

Relocating and building the CFA whilst continuing to use The Etihad is child’s play in relative terms. If you have seen the creation and development of the Islands off Abu Dhabi mainland you’ll understand.

The wrap is agreed. Completing the final elevations of the W & E stands post construction will take seven working days. The Spungen Moss is cultivated off site,the infrastructure pre fabricated and erected on sight.

Oh ye of little faith,cast the scales from thy eyes, for ignorance is not bliss !

The only nonsense in plain sight here I’d you inability to understand the owners long term plans and ambitions.

Perhaps you’d be more comfortable returning to the days of Swales and Halford Limited !!

So let me get my head around this crap.

The plan is to turn the Etihad exterior into a Garden centre just after they have spent 300m on the Hotel and new stand. But then they are gonna knock down the stadium and the Academy complex and build a new stadium on the site of the Academy and rebuild the Academy complex somewhere else !!!

Genius !!!

Complete bollocks of course. Can’t work out if you are mentalist or like having a wind up.

More chance of log flume, cheetah racing and rockets to Piccadilly than this tripe you suggest.
