Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[Manchester1894]

I think most are happy with a north stand extension and a new skin/roof that makes the place more like the alianz arena. But we have to be patient and conscious safe standing will likely arrive before any stand would be finished to help with increasing demand.

I'm still wondering what might appear on the empty land.. it will happen but when?

This is a thread about infrastructure and currently we reinvest profits into getting better players. Any stadium investment can be approved and funded therefore by our owner without offending FFP but if he decides not to put more money into CFG then profits or borrowing must be used as the source of funding.

Good point. City maybe self-sustaining in respect of transfer activity, but infrastructure spend has been dependent on the owners. As you say it could be financed in other ways, but that much reduces its likelihood.

You always have to invest in infrastructure, otherwise you cant grow. Look at Barca they have a lot of seats but the stadium is crumbling due to lack of investment. If you have to borrow to get the required work done, do so. This is not the 1950's fans/ visitors have higher expectations.

Imagine the North Stand replicated. If it now ever happens? What a view that would be for City and away players from the pitch.

That's a fantastic photo love the stadium just poking up. What's the area called in the front, countryside etc?

Yeah great photo. Looks like it's taken from Mossley/Grasscroft way so it'll be the Medlock Valley...

The money tap is being turned down, somewhat, that goes for New York City too.

Will have a knock-on effect in terms of where we do invest these next couple of years.

That doesn't sound realistic at all considering NYCFC's SSS plans in New York which is half a billion dollar project if not more..

Anybody know what is happening with the old bank building on the corner of the training complex? Notice it's been fenced off the last couple of weeks. Always thought it would of made a nice little club shop or fans bar .

Might just be fenced to stop all the cars parking on it for free ..... council won't be happy with people getting so close to the stadium to park.
