Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[halfcenturyup]

Man City empty seats idiots detract from an important issue

There are lots of grown-up conversations to be had around how clubs and governing bodies treat fans and the money they make off them, but that is lost in juvenile points-scoring

True.

I still call Manchester Central, GMEX. And the AO Arena the Manchester Arena. Etc.

I’m a FOC. :-)

Nynex Arena if you will ;-)

Monorails are pretty useless beyond the likes of short Airport Terminal People Movers. They can only cope with a point-to-point system or a loop. No points and no branches are possible. They are a technological blind alley.

The most high profile one I can think of was the Sydney Monorail. This opened in 1988 and was closed by 2013. The only monorail I have travelled on is that in Kuala Lumpur. I was underwhelmed. It was slow and not particularly comfortable.

DLR in London seems to work alright

its okay when you can purchase additional trains from the levelling up fund ! I’m not joking the additional DLR attains for latest extension are being funded by the levelling up fund. But Manchester are short of trams but there’s no money available….. wtf.

You might think that with manchester being such an innovative place and creator of so much, that we could do better than "dunno maybe a couple more buses" and "whatabout putting a few arty type thing and stuff next to the dodgycanal path"

The answer to the transport problem is broadly there - the Metrolink - That’s how you move large numbers from the Etihad Campus to a variety of destinations but, the whole system has been so badly implemented, no sidings to store additional trains, a bottleneck on the line to Piccadilly and trams that have insufficient capacity. The Council and others should focus on making the Metrolink fit for purpose.
