Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread
- Thread starter Danamy
- Start date
I think we maybe at the start of a transport revolution due to the development of the electric battery. We're not quite there yet but we're tantalisingly close. It's like the onset of the pc at the end of the last century. Do you buy one now, or wait 1 year to get something radically better. How does this help football though? Don't think they'd take an e-bike, e-scooter or segway, at the Etihad. The latest Fad or the future? I am sure I am not the only person to be intrigued by all this and wondering how Manchester is going to look in 3-4 years time.
Not painted black, blue has worn off. Expand and look.He's painted it black and devalued it, Still a nice piece to own though.

I don't think e-bikes need any special type of storage area and there are already plenty of bike racks around the stadium that don't seem to see much usage on matchdays ?
In years to come I could see myself zipping on an ebike to Chester station, then travelling on an electrified railway to Victoria or Piccadilly (if the 80% aspiration Network Rail announced the other day comes to pass) then zipping to the stadium and parking up.
The journey home in the dark might not be as attractive in winter though so I may need to do more research...
Yes. I go for a couple of walks every day in and about town, and I smile every time I see an e-scooter. It looks fun. E-bikes still very expensive but I can see them becoming really popular. I believe the speed is capped at 15 mph. If they could just do a little bit more then they could be used for longer journeys. That is what I need. I don't want to get the train every day so I am looking for solutions. An e-bike is really close. It could be really liberating for a lot of people and enable them to enjoy the countryside without having to be super-fit to get up those hills.I don't think e-bikes need any special type of storage area and there are already plenty of bike racks around the stadium that don't seem to see much usage on matchdays ?

I don't need to expand & look I could tell soon as I seen it. The guy who sold it has confirmed it was Painted Black off previous owner and has written it in the listing.

This thread needs to get back to the topic of a much-needed single-tier North Stand and a smaller family stand.

Exactly. Electric Bikes FFS.
I hope somebody is constantly whispering in the club's ear that a single tier with safe standing and cheaper tickets will transform the match day experience.This thread needs to get back to the topic of a much-needed single-tier North Stand and a smaller family stand.
