Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I would agree. They wont look to incorporate the hotel into the stadium, it limits the number of rooms and even if you could have balcony rooms with views of the football, you'd make far much more from having proper seating.

The north stand expansion will follow the south stand I'm sure. It comes down to costs and feasibility at the end of the day and even if it would be lovely to have a larger tier for more vocal support, that would likely mean moving the family stand because you wouldn't want families sat below vocal supporters chanting rude things! The knock-on impacts would be too substantial. You'd have to move all of the families elsewhere, move others to accommodate them and we know the away fans aren't moving despite the many calls for them to go elsewhere.

It will be just like the south stand, they'll keep one tier as a family stand and the rest will be for new or existing fans to move into.

If you had a larger second tier you wouldn’t have to move anyone in the family stand. It would be great to have kids learning all the chants below and bring some much needed noise to that area of the ground. We need a home end. It would be such a waste to not have one. All the various supporters groups should be pushing them on this issue

Also on moving fans aren’t we past being annoyed about it now/ the club caring? The entire second tier, tunnel club area, north stand - all the fans were shafted out of those areas.

This has been posted by a guy on Facebook who seems to have pretty good knowledge of the Club.

The family stand is finally in the works of being extended similar to what the south stand 3rd tier is like.....it will be the second highest attendance premier league club with it being extended to around 62/63 thousand....also a hotel is back in discussion plans of building it on the land of the stadium!

The future is definitely bright for us blues!

There were discussions about 12 months ago with a firm which specalises in sports bars/micro brewery type developments but it has been quiet since then so it's not clear what is happening long-term.

Would make a great railway station for the circular loop line linking Piccadilly, Victoria and Oxford Road if ever the Ardwick Curve viaduct was restored. Now possible given the Ordsall Chord. Would solve so many of transport issues to the stadium and new arena is that loop was reinstated. Some new points, under 1km of line needed, and the existing viaduct refurbed that's all.

Have we got a circular loop line ?

Not much knowledge of rail, other than the bloody train was packed after the match last week.
