Are there any plans for improvements to transport infrastructure integrated into the plans ?

yes very much so. Millions being spent on canal walkway - contributing to more trans and electric buses back to city centre.

When they do the exterior I wonder if they would consider losing the spirals, although they’d have to build around them initially as they support the current roof.

At Real Madrid they have just built new spirals right next to the old ones and then knocked those down when the new ones were finished. The new ones are positioned to support the new retractable roof.

Can't see Mercedes garage site being housing, simply too near the ground and arena. I always thought a hotel would go there

Worsley - you mentioned a 4000 outdoor bar on a match day. Presume this will be the Atrium of the Arena which i understood is indoors and inside the Arena ?

Either way it will be great to be able to use this facility on a match day which I’m sure will be very popular.

So many exciting plans with the Arena being a real catalyst for the new plans

It also runs partly around the exterior.

It also runs partly around the exterior.

I thought that outdoor part was separate and not part of the Atrium ?

Roel de Vries and Danny Wilson said the bars / entertainment area would merge between the new arena and new North Stand, when they attended the Supporters Club meeting.

Far too big for what?

I think he meant small, the CFA is far too small as it is so will expand into the ASDA site. Who knows? His posts on the last few pages have been half riddles.

As long as there is somewhere undercover to drink. Those mock ups look great in the sunlight.

I often wonder what sort of world the people who do these mock ups live in?
Kids playing football - sorry thats banned read the signs,
Girl on roller skates - as above,
Kids on bikes - again cant you read the signs, banned,
Jogging along the towpath, yea right what about the towpath pusher?
And that barge would have been set alight & sunk about 2 miles back.
