The Manchester Storm, Ice Hockey team, are moving their home games back to the AO Arena.

That and other things probably kill any chance of an ice rink on the Collar site. Not that there was any evidence an ice rink was planned for the Collar site.

MANCHESTER STORM RETURNS HOME TO THE AO ARENA – Manchester Storm

Therme - Manchester also rules out an indoor water park. With a swimming pool at the East Manchester, leisure centre, just down the road from the Collar site.
 
Was recently thinking about how the new seats in the expanded North Stand will be a fresher colour than the existing seats below.

Then yesterday saw this image on City’s ticket site where the seats are shown in our sky blue… how much nicer the seats look in our sky blue instead of the laser blue they have been since we moved to the CoMS?

Granted, everything looks nicer in digital images, but I’d like to change the colour of the seats to that lighter shade of blue across the stadium.

I was looking at Coventry’s stadium the other day and it reminded me how our seats aren’t actually City blue but the old laser blue.

Well done to OVG and CFG for building an amazing arena

To quote a famous film

If you build it, he will come.
People will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.
With the announcement of Mamma Mia Live this year, let's announce everything else and develop the site

Been to a couple gigs there and it’s really a brilliant venue, got the strokes gig coming up later this year, saw gorillaz recently.

Well run aside from needing a slash as a bloke as the queues are mental but had easy access to beers from the same pint vending machines they have at City inside the actual arena bit, so you don’t even miss any of the tunes.

Saw Moving Pictures recently, (Rush Tribute) good practice for the real thing. Gents Toilets rammed, ladies no queue. Academy 2 in November for another training session
 
Off topic, but an interesting watch, re, the transport plans for the new Birmingham City stadium.

The Government has pledged £400mill for new transport links to serve the new stadium, and a proposed new train station that will be able to serve the 60,000 capacity stadium, and will be closer to the new stadium than the current train station at Adderley Park, which has a narrow platforms, and can only accommodate trains with 4 carriages. The new train station will have longer and wider platforms and will be able to accommodate trains with 12 carriages. The transport proposals also include 2 mobility hubs ‘onsite’ that can accommodate up to 1200 cars, a dedicated coach station, as well as enhanced walking and cycling routes,

So Andy, what is the Etihad stadium getting to serve a it’s new 61,000+ capacity, the 23,500 capacity Coop Live Arena, and the Collar site proposal, which is now being developed, Mama Mia, etc. Whilst you throw £100mill’s at a new Old Trafford stadium including better transport links.

Get your fucking RED finger out (of your arse) Andy Burnham and deliver the Etihad stadium and the Etihad Campus a proper transport plan, and proposal, and deliver it!

Fast forward to 28 minutes. The transport proposals are roughly 6 minutes long from there in the video.
