Bit of a shit name that, tbh.

Well it’s better than if Poundland sponsored it.

I just had a vision of Co-op replacing Etihad as our main shirt sponsor next year......

Whatever it was called, it wouldnt satisfy everyone, thats for sure.

We dont know who else was in the bidding or what criteria was....

Maybe they didnt want gambling or anything related to our owners.

Maybe they preferred local history link within their criteria or maybe

Coop offered substantially more or maybe substantially longer deal.

Maybe locally it'll become Manchester Live/Manchester Live Arena,

Or just "Live" who knows but i can think of many worse than this one

Will Co op customers get 'divvy' on tickets?

For the record, Oak View Group the capital providers for the new 23,500 concert venue bought a 10% share holding in Manchester City in 2019.
It will be interesting to see who will operate the venue.

Don’t think that’s right since it’s not been reported anywhere Do you not mean CFG

 

[Del_Bosque]

I think he means Silver Lake which own a part of Oak View Group

OVG JOINS FORCES WITH CO-OP TO DEVELOP THE UK’S BIGGEST AND MOST EXCITING NEW ARENA IN MANCHESTER
We’re delighted to announce a 15-year partnership with the Co-op on the development of one of the most sustainable and socially responsible arenas in Europe.
Our exciting proposals deliver a £350million private investment, thousands of jobs, and help continue the regeneration of the Eastlands area, with a projected boost to the local economy of £1.5bn over the next 20 years.
The partnership, which will see the arena named Co-op Live, will generate around £1m in donations to good causes, distributed via the Co-op Foundation. The arena will support Manchester’s net zero carbon agenda and help to tackle food poverty via a zero-food waste initiative.
Once open, Co-op will offer its members a host of exclusive benefits, including access to pre-sale tickets, discounts on food and beverage, and the chance to win free tickets and exclusive, money can’t buy, backstage VIP experiences.

I work for Co-Op at Angel Square by Victoria Station, so looking forward to getting tickets easily ;)

They need to improve the transport links for sure. Get that ardwick viaduct curve reinstated add a station next to the athletics arena and you have a purpose made new loop line into the City centre.

Co-op long associated with Manchester - Dantzic St, Balloon St, Miller St etc.

On a separate issue which is very relevant to City fans - developments on parking in Manchester City Centre>>>> M.E.N

Central government have already pointed to infrastructure spend but after years of austerity its difficult to really believe it will happen. If government wont fix our cities move into them. That way you don't need a car, and so many problems revolve around cars: parking, insurance, maintenance, fuel.

The proposed income, would it be from rent, sale of the land, incidental income from sales. Possible hotel built by City.
Any idea of possible income levels.

ADUG own the land in the joint venture with Manchester City Council.

CFG went into a partnership with Oak View Group last summer re the development and Oak View are fully funding the project.

CFG/MCC are effectively landlords and will derive income from the lease agreement - so yes it is rent. According to the FT this is split 80% CFG and 20% MCC.

All other income directly from the new arena is Oak View's albeit there have to be other spin offs for CFG/MCC.

That's wrong mate.

Silver Lake bought the 10% share holding in CFG.

Silver Lake also invested $100mil in Oak View Group but, as per my post above, Oak View are fully funding the capital cost of the build.

Cool, this means I can nip to the Co-Op to watch the Foo Fighters

Co-Op Live to go along with their death services that they were once more famous for than their banking.

Great info, so if were ever allowed to go out again this is a nice earner for City . Would also expect a much better car parking arrangement as well .
