Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

But the plus about them is the Regent Canal Basin, the restaurants and general environment around them. They're not exactly in a prime spot and would be to expensive for social housing...

I lived in London 25 years ago and that area around Kings Cross was vile an absolute hole.

It was when I was there, took your life in your hands coming out of the tube, but the transformation that's happened with investment won't happen at the end of Briscoe Lane

420 Tunnel club season tickets would bring in as much as 10000 level 2 tickets and SS3 get cheaper as you get further from the pitch.

I get that they won't visit the shop but City make more from the summer concerts at the bar than during the season. The guy who ran the catering said they made 20% more than the whole season at the Take That concerts a few years back and I doubt Liam Gallagher or Ed Sheeran fans were tea total this year.

If they want to make money reduce the number of season tickets and charge standard matchday prices like the dippers. Let the non-renewers seats be available on a match by match basis, that'll double the income from the seat.

Make the non family, family stand people move into the general population, that'll be another chunk of cash and manage the stand for the younger fans to attend.

They can make more money if they want to, Corporate might be a lesser evil

Got my sister tickets for ed sheeran £6.25 a pint she told me, somebodys making huge money :-/

Where is this from please? Can you scroll around like Google Earth or is it just stills?

Cheshire Archives - the Old Cheshire CC commissioned a B & W Aerial Survey between 1971 and 1972 - pre-dates the Metropolitan Boroughs so covers lots of South Manchester - I managed to snarf great swathes of it a few years back, but they've cranked the resolution down now on the public site sadly. Was there a particlar area you were looking for?

I would expect the promoter is paying the club for use of the bars when they pay for the stadium, then the promoter will sell the food and drink concessions to another supplier, and they will all be making a profit so thats the reason its so expensive.

Be interesting to see if it is. Especially to which clientele they aim for? Will it be upmarket to attract those moving into the apartments around it, or for the once every other week football crowd? The two rarely mix well together.

Not many new apartments if any arround the Mitchell as yet as the new development expansion from the City centre hasn't reached it. The Bank of England in New Islington yes.

If converting the Gas Holders into apartments was feasible, it would be done. It depends on lots of things like the condition of them, whats under the ground where they are, etc. Not sure any property developer would take that risk on.

The new grass is growing.

I smiled at the thought of a resident being nostalgic for the loss of a gasholder - they are an eyesore but I guess we get used to them and they become part of us.

I currently live around 5 miles from Ferrybridge and when I was in the army, coming from Catterick to Manchester on a Friday, you knew you were near the M62 when you saw the cooling towers…the last ones were demolished a couple of months ago, so there’s no landmark there now…happy memories…

Not gasholder but cooling towers as mentioned above.

Neighbours 'weeping and crying' as final Ferrybridge towers are imploded

Residents have never known life without the 'monstrosities'
