Sure. But what are we moving it for?

We’ve not even built anything on the other side in 15+ years of ownership.

@JGL07 is spot on with his comments , the atletic track could be relocated so they could get more hotels etc and more entertainment district that they have talked about. There is plenty of waste ground near the staduim that could be put to better use, dont know why the club just dont realise plans for the site

The athletics track is used all the time by schools.

It was used for UK champs last year

Well there are 2 possible answers to that aren’t there, either the club are run by idiots that don’t know what they are doing, or B they have a plan, have studied the options, the land and economics of the plan and that doesn’t fit the plan.
I know which option I’m choosing.

It’s just random bloke down the pub talk. I’m sure years down the line it will be moved but there’s zero reason to even consider it right now. The land opposite the east stand will be developed over another decade first.

Also, why would the club release plans right now? They might have nothing to announce. The plans might be with third parties who don’t want to announce anything an overly long time before something is even built. Again, ‘club should release the plans’ has no intellectual foundation and is just more ‘drunk bloke down the pub talk’. It’s like asking City to release their transfer plans right now for every summer from 2024 to 2030.

@HelloCity & @blueparrot just think a master plan would be good it would help create a destination for Manchester as football clubs are all about bringing extra income in. In the design statement, there are buildings just be good to find out what they have planned

I thought that it was built for training for the Commonwealth Games?

If it is just used for school events, it would make sense to relocate it to elsewhere in the Campus and free up the land.

It’s used quite frequently

Manchester YMCA Harriers | Manchester Regional Arena

The Manchester Regional Arena is used for some Manchester YMCA Harriers track training sessions

I wonder where they will be stopping? My guess would be the Manc version of Hotel California...
