Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

It was confirmed recently that we barely need matchday income. That and what would seem to be a commitment to MCC to reduce cars whilst they continue to vastly over estimate Metrolinks value and capacity, seems to point to what could be best described as indifferent attitude (see ticketing also) by the club. It does so many things well, but matchday isn't one of them.
 
Strange.

I live in Burnage.

15 minute walk to Piccadilly Station. Straight on the 192. Get off at McVities. Home in 30 minutes. Another 10 minutes to Mersey Square.

If I drive, it also takes me 30 minutes. 15 minute walking to the car parked near the cash and carry, opposite Ashbury Train Station. Then 15 minutes home through Gorton.(Mount Road)

TBH I prefer going back into town, having quick a scoop, then catching the 192, getting off in Leve, and having another scoop whilst watching the 2nd half of the Saturday night match in Fred's Bar.

Here’s a weird one. Went into town today with my wife to look at the 1921 census at Central Library.

Got the tram from Altrincham at 10:10am and after a short delay at OT for driver change over we set off for St, Peter’s Square. Over the course of that short journey (4 stops) there were at least 16 trams heading in the opposite direction 6 of them going to Altrincham and most of them double units.

Why can’t they do that on match days?

Good to see works progressing on site in north west quadrant during our site visit, to carry out a health and safety visit before issuing RAMS for sprinkler riser installation.

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

Yeah disappointing that. They’re comparing themselves to their neighbours though, while we’re probably doing the same and thinking “well, Old Trafford’s a shit hole so compared to that we don’t have to do anything to the Etihad”.

But we do!

From a distance the Etihad still looks impressive… but up close, it doesn’t look impressive at all. Especially the ground level of the stadium surroundings.

I took my niece and nephew on Saturday and picked up my nephew when we were walking to the ground because there were so many puddles, his feet were soaked. The puddles are bloody everywhere and quite deep in places.

And it looks dead scruffy all around the outside of the stadium. If you just showed someone a picture of the surroundings to our stadium and said “what do you think to this?” to someone who didn’t know that it was part of one of the best run clubs in world sport, they’d probably think it was the surroundings to somewhere like a struggling Championship or League 1 club.
