Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Mildly irritating that arsenal are upgrading the exterior of their stadium despite it being built after ours and already looking considerably better

The design is based on on an asylum. Fans spokesperson Alan Davies said " we supporters are really excited by this design it looks just like an institution".

I knew that Piccadilly Gardens was once the site of the MRI but I didn't know that there was a lunatics asylum there too. Some will say it's still there. Just about where the 216 bus stop is.

And Piccadilly gardens in better days!

Explains a lot about the people around there!

Looks like a biggish building being built opposite the arena on the other side of the canal. Do you know what that is?

City’s new ground

To keep up with their neighbours. Frustratingly that new spuds stadium does look impressive.

Even though the Etihad is looking a bit scruffy in parts now, it’s a palace compared to the rat infested rotting pile of old scaffolding in Salford.

The longer they do nothing with ours the more I wonder if they will just build a new one.

That did actually occur to me but surely if that was the case they wouldn’t have bothered spending millions on the new south stand?

Honestly I just don’t think they give a fuck what the experience is for the average joe. As long as the tunnel club is nice and swish they’re happy.

Piling is complete. No piling rigs on site.
The 6th concrete core is under construction. 7 concrete cores in total.
The STEEL FRAME is going up. Far right concrete core.

They stand at that bus stop for the urgent appointment they got in 1895.

FFS its in Stretford. A proper Mancunian would know that.
Although I do like the sentiment
