Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[remember arthur mann]

Oh those were the days.

 

[pride in battle]

Because the supports for the Cablenet on the sides is more complex and the height and distance out of the supports would be difficult to work around View attachment 47547
Looks almost twice the height of the end supports
Im not saying its impossible but the cost would be prohibitive
The South Stand extension was over £100M for 5k seats The whole stadium structure cost £110M

8.000 seats

Animation.

Remember watching that about 500 times when it came out.

8.000 seats

The south stand was more like an extra 5500 seat, there was another 1500 ish that were added at the front across all stands with the majority of these coming out to add in the larger Advertising boards. Current capacity is about 6000 more than it was pre extension.

Why are they taking down the gasometer ?

Dormant. No longer in use. The other gas holder is also going at a later date.

Booooooo!! It's part of the landscape of that area. I used to live on St Mary's Rd in Moston as a kid and when i went past the abattoir (on Briscoe Land?) the gasometers were the next landmark!

Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to repurpose them somehow?

The plans were shown to supporters at some fan groups when they did they survey in 2018. It was of a large 2nd tier with the current lower tier still in place.

These were different plans. Single tier stand. I saw drawings and artist’s impressions but was told not to share under any circumstances.
