Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[nmc]

The new stadium will incorporate a state of the art Japanese ‘Bullet’ train station allowing 90% of the stadium patrons to be at Piccadilly station by the final whistle

I think you mean 10 minutes before the final whistle.

Dormant. No longer in use. The other gas holder is also going at a later date.

That's a shame. It feels like it should be left in place. It's part of the whole area surrounding the stadium. A landmark, of sorts. Give it a coat or three of Berger Marble Moon (what I've just splashed on the kitchen wall) and it'll be as good as new.

my family is from just around the corner and agree it should stay

It'd be ace if they could use the super structure and fit a dome halfway. Think of it as Manchester's Millennium(-ish plus a bit) Dome. That being said the price of scrap metal may outweigh the community's attachment.

Despite Liverpool selling itself on its musical heritage, it’s actually a pretty tough market to sell tickets in. I do a lot of tours and in terms of ticket sales in the UK, London obviously sells the most, with Manchester and Bristol coming in second.

Is your touring to sell confectionery for well known Mancunian acts?

I have Scouse friends. Don't judge me. They're Evertonian. They all prefer gigs outside of Liverpool, though I imagine their new dockside ground will host Elton John's Last Last World Tour, unless Meat Loaf comes back for a Last Last Last World Tour, which wouldn't surprise me (despite obvious barriers).

Booooooo!! It's part of the landscape of that area. I used to live on St Mary's Rd in Moston as a kid and when i went past the abattoir (on Briscoe Land?) the gasometers were the next landmark!

Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to repurpose them somehow?

Should build some flats in them like they do in London. Would be well handy for the match!

Very nice but £725,000 for a little one so would be interesting to see how much the build cost came in at. They have slightly better facilities, although the abattoir is a big pull.

or turn It into a car-park like Eldon Square in Newcastle inside the gasometer

We live next to the gasholders by the Etihad. What do we get now they're going?

"People can't afford the houses they are building around here anyway. It's for people who have big jobs coming from London. This estate has been ripped apart for years."

When will they expand?

That shows thee stadium exterior hasn't aged too badly. It was shite when it was built!

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

gonna be strange if they get events on a matchday: 23,500
and the Velodrome (refurbished) reopens soon with increased capacity.
And, what happens if Asda reduce the price of milk?'

"67 minutes have gone here at the Etihad... as have the crowd... to beat the Biber concert traffic."

The more I look, the more I think Co-op Live will enhance Manchester. I read that it can have seats retracted back for ice hockey. Bring Manchester Storm home.

• Co-op Live 23500
• MSG Sphere London 21,500
• Manchester Arena 21000
• The O2 Arena 20,000
• Earls Court 20,000
• Bristol Arena 17,000
• P&J Live (16,000)
• Utilita Arena Birmingham 15,800

No sign of Liverpool.

The Echo: "Why Manchester's two mega-arenas is good news for Klopp"

I see Ten Hag has decided to call it quits and move to City.

 

[Citizen Green]

Ferran confirms in the above interview that City are planning to expand the North Stand (41:50 onwards)

He's wrong, we don't have the fan base to justify it, at least according to some on here.

No but a Liverpool fan once told me the club pay people to watch the games so everything should be fine :-)
