What would happen if events clash with Manchester City games?
Cheetham and Collyhurst ward councillor Shaukat Ali says he supports the plans but that his “one concern” is that the new arena would host events throughout the year and that occasionally there could be events at the same time of the football.
Has it been thought out carefully what would happen on those occasions he asks.
The council’s planning officer Mr Roscoe says there could be midweek Manchester City games and that they currently anticipate around 10-15 clashes per year.
He says special measures would be put in place to address that for instance staggering finish times.
“Its unlikely a music event would start and end at the same time as a football match” he says.
He adds huge numbers of people who attend games at the Etihad currently walk to and from the city centre and that its hoped the plans would encourage more people to do that.
I foresee it would difficult to stagger finish times - if a city match is 7.45 KO, the area around the ground is busy from 6pm-10.15pm.
Most concerts run 6-11pm or earlier.
23k at the arena and 55k at the stadium - close to 80k in the area at the same time.
There would need to be further increases in transport in the area to support this.

Do we own the land that this arena is being built, or is it owned by the council. Another problem where are all the cars that park their now going to end up being parked.
Is there ever going to be an extension to the North stand. Now this would be a good time to get it done. They could do both the arena and a new North stand at the same time. Construction companies will be looking out for new business and maybe willing to build it for a smaller profit. Just so that they can keep their business afloat.

I agree, but unless the developer is required to fund improvements to transport infrastructure and/or services as a condition attached to the planning permission for the scheme then it probably won't happen

Unless it can hold 125k every night for 10 nights no chance!
