Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Just that reported on BBC North West News.

Waiting for Burnham to make the details public.

If the underground is true, I'd guess it could be in the city centre connecting Victoria train station to Piccadilly Train station. Or it could be the new underground train station which is still proposed at Piccadilly Train Station.

As for the brand new train station, that's anyone's guess.It could be at the Etihad on the existing and under used line, or at United, as part of the Old Trafford redevelopment.

Just checked Burnham's X/Twitter page. No updates yet.

I remember reading a story about Manchester started building an underground system from Victoria to Piccadilly I think in the 60s, I wonder if that still exists might be what they build on.

It was about linking trains between Victoria and Piccadilly stations through an underground line. I don't think it went beyond being a proposal with plans and never started.

Never see any reference to an option to buy
A considerable amount of the fee would go to Sport England and I’ve hear said that the club are happy with the current arrangement since the lease fee goes to CoM Council and is ring fenced for sport and leisure Not sure if that is true
There was FoI asking for details of the lease this is following the renegotiation when the names rights were fixed and the percentage of gate over the Maine Road calculation removed

Please send me a copy of the rental contract between (presumably) the City Council (or an entity set up by the council for the purpose) and Manchester City FC, regarding the stadium now known as the Etihad stadium. For clarification I seek to learn only the broad commercial terms of the...

Don't City have an option to purchase the stadium outright? It's not been optioned because everyone is happy with the current arrangement but I think the key point of @Asa's left peg is answered by the fact the club could own the stadium if it ever needed to.

I'm not aware there is an option (but that doesn't mean there isn't one). However I recall that soon after the takeover, they looked at buying it as part of building an entirely new stadium, either on what's now the North car park, or the CFA. My understanding is that it didn't come to fruition because of legal issues around the Etihad covenants.
