Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[discopop]

Some bizarre posts on here about the acts being booked for the Co Op.

Like any Arena around the world there will be a big mix of artists. Any artist that can shift 24k tickets will book.

Already they have announced a gig for 78 year old Eric Clapton - and 2 nights by 20 year old Olivia Rodrigo.

No point moaning if they acts aren’t your taste - there will acts of every age and genre booked.

Last time I saw Clapton at the arena he was dialling it in can’t imagine he will be picking up the pace five or so years later. He will sell it out mind.

That's what I posted about the freight terminal. I didn't know if it was owned by United or not. I didn't think it was. I assuming the empty parcels of land directly behind the Stretford End are owned by United? And maybe the car parks further out, unless them come under the lease agreement?

United will definitely own the plots of land adjacent to OT, just like City own the plots of land on the Etihad Campus.

In the map below, plot E2 for example, is the away coach park.

I'm going to ring the Rags up next week and ask them. Lol!

I may be petty but I hope our owners have bought up a small parcel of land smack bang in the middle of any potential development area around OT.

I honestly don't give a toss about United, Old Trafford, Carrington or anything else ! For me they can stay at revamp or build a new ground and I couldn't give two shits about it ! We will have one the best stadiums and surrounding infrastructure in world football in three years so United and all the rest are of no interest to me whatsoever !

I disagree, the more that sh1t hole keeps decaying the further we pull away from them, the gap has never been wider and indeed it's increasing daily.

Haven’t they cancelled the fanzone bit or at least heavily scaled it back?

Have we slightly missed a trick with our expansion not doing it sooner to be inline with the arena opening? Lots of people already will be looking for hotel rooms, places to eat and drink etc?

Was it not because of the logistics of having two major developments next to each other or did I imagine that?
