What ever happened to the rumours of Ferrari World MK2 etc?

Exactly that, just a rumour, that was never a serious rumour.

Sounds new to me sounds some what underwhelming in the sense that’s it’s not like the tourist stuff we where wanting but maybe that comes in time or other areas.scale of what you mention sounds good depends on the scale I mean the strip of land you mention is big but not that big not clear where the rest will be could be all over from what you say so not sure how that’s incorporated into the campus from what you say. The scale of that sounds impressive

Underwhelming or not, having a commercial aspect makes sound business sense as it drives a more consistent revenue stream. Would be great to see an addition to the tech/digital centred thinking we've seen with Circle Square.

Unlike the log flume obviously.

Nice chat with someone that knows yesterday, and its probably not new news really but i’ll share anyway

The north stand expansion and eateries/bar (new city square) linking to the arena is only the start of a 9 year plan.
Next faze is to develop all the land at the back of joe mercer way, including the land where the gas thing is. The intention is to have a commercial area that will house all the top advertising, design, architects, legal companies of the north. A proper intellectual hub. Working title of that area is The North. Be hotels etc too. A small Town within manchester is the aim.
Every bit of land is going to be bought up that comes available

Development at the Oval Cricket Ground.

I think it depends. I bowe to the clubs superior knowledge. However it’s not like more tourist type things do not deliver consistent revenue. e.g Trafford Centre, Disney land etc etc

Not really. Hes very much on the inside but i dont put him in too much of an awkward situation and just let him tell me what he wants to tell me

Just really that there is no limit to what can be achieved with the collar site.

Another thing, all bars in the stadium will eventually be upgraded to match the one in the south stand

The big open bar ?

Venting under the roof of the Coop Live Arena.

was told by a friend working on this that the walls are crumbling due to the water collecting on the top of the building.

Walls need replacing and a real problem for the planned opening.
