There’s spare land dotted around several areas. Park & Ride from Monsall near the Police HQ? There’s land opposite Vermillion. Gas cylinders are redundant.I was told a multi story on Blue car park, but my reaction was I couldn't think of anything worse. It takes far too long to get off now as a single story. They need to be more creative and think about park and ride than on site parking.
Do you have any more info about the site you can share?A certain pub company/brewery wanted to buy this to develop not just for match and concert opening, but for local use too, they were told in no uncertain terms, no.
3.8 acres for a pub? It would have at least 61 houses in that area, and more if flats involved, it seems far to big for any pub use or even a hotel as well.A certain pub company/brewery wanted to buy this to develop not just for match and concert opening, but for local use too, they were told in no uncertain terms, no.

Descent sized hotel and parking would fill that without any issues.3.8 acres for a pub? It would have at least 61 houses in that area, and more if flats involved, it seems far to big for any pub use or even a hotel as well.
Never seen anything near that big as part of a pub chain developement.Descent sized hotel and parking would fill that without any issues.
No. I’m talking Radisson or Holiday Inn size. Even Premier inn do some big hotels with a separate eatery and loads of car parking space. Wouldn’t make sense previously but when the arena opens…Never seen anything near that big as part of a pub chain developement.
Thing is there is so much around the hydro area to do where as even with the new arena, unless they build a load of food, drink, pubs etc, people aren't going to want to stay around the ground as there is just nothing to do and its a fair trek into town.No. I’m talking Radisson or Holiday Inn size.

The equivalent in Glasgow has 6 or 7 hotels all within walking distance of the Hydro. They are usually pretty full.

I'm not a resident but pre covid was through at the Hydro three or four times per year. I thought it was quite similar to Manchester - a long and not particularly pleasant walk into the centre. Nothing to do in the environs other than the venue itself. Where are you referring too that there is so much to do?Thing is there is so much around the hydro area to do where as even with the new arena, unless they build a load of food, drink, pubs etc, people aren't going to want to stay around the ground as there is just nothing to do and its a fair trek into town.
