would have to alter the tier they wanted the safe standing on, surely?
I was under the impression that rail seats could be fitted to a standard ‘seated’ tier. I don’t believe any modifications bar the seats themselves are required.

Are you saying here that the university campus will generate a return for City? How? Unless ADUG are involved in some way in the financing?
Well I’d assume that the Etihad Campus isn’t a charity - so the likes of the University and the Rugby League moving to the site must involve some sort of financial arrangement to build the facilities and operate from the site. Moreover, the university and the arena will bring significantly more people onto the site than the football club does - so commercial options that are presently not viable may become viable. I.e. a City Square Mark 2 that’s open pretty much the whole year round. I’d hope that the Campus would become an active community with a more mature infrastructure that will benefit all of us.

Can you give me any details on this or are you just guessing?
if you look at all the other stands built to include safe standing they are all at an angle.

All stands are built at an angle, are you saying they are built at a different angle and if so which ones?if you look at all the other stands built to include safe standing they are all at an angle.
Sorry if this seems argumentative, it isn't meant to be.
I'd imagine the University would look for some kind of tie-up with the sports campus, given that it's their sports faculty that's moving, but does our leasehold arrangement with the City council allow us to be the beneficiaries?Well I’d assume that the Etihad Campus isn’t a charity - so the likes of the University and the Rugby League moving to the site must involve some sort of financial arrangement to build the facilities and operate from the site.

I don’t know but there must be upsides - why would ADUG get involved otherwise. I’d guess we’d share the long term benefits with the City Council.

Waiting for go ahead for safe standing would be my guess
I was told it was to do with the fact the club won’t build it unless we can prove we can sell all the tickets. They are going to monitor ticket sales this season before making any decision.
That can't be the reason because the ground has been sold out for all but a few midweek Cup games.I was told it was to do with the fact the club won’t build it unless we can prove we can sell all the tickets. They are going to monitor ticket sales this season before making any decision.
I found an article from a while ago which has some details about the Uni campus https://www.insidermedia.com/insider/northwest/mmus-institute-of-sport-plans-gathering-momentum and something in the MEN from a while ago which reveals how the investment vehicle which Sheikh mansour opened to buy City, has gone into partnership with the City Council to develop housing through Manchester Life Development Co https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...ter-life-announces-appointment-chief-15408688
MCC hit back.

Manchester City Council has called a campaign against the Eastlands regeneration framework by Manchester Arena operator SMG “very misleading”, while facing resistance from a mass of city centre businesses including The Printworks, Arndale, Corn Exchange and Harvey Nichols.
