Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Found it after a bit of digging. Page 83 to page 163.

Idiots have scanned the PDF the wrong way around.

"A report going before next week’s executive meeting says that the growing global success of Manchester City and the sporting and transport infrastructure around the Etihad Campus has influenced investors and entertainment operators of the area’s potential."

Surely there would need to be further investment in capacity on the Ashton ML line if anything like this is being contemplated?
 
Nothing to stop wealthy owners investing in the infrastructure of their club is there. If I were feeling a little cheesed off at the treatment I was getting from the various associations attacking my club I might think about building a brand-new state of the art stadium.

It doesn't actually state whether the transport infrastructure has influenced them positively or negatively though.

Oak View Group is launching Oak View Group International, a London-based entity that will explore opportunities in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The announcement was made at the International Live Music Conference in London. OVG International will be based in London, tasked with exploring arena and stadium development and partnership opportunities in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and is already in advanced discussions on a number of projects. Founded in 2015 by Leiweke and Irving Azof, Oak View Group is currently involved in several major arena development projects, including those at KeyArena in Seattle, Belmont for the New York Islanders, and The University of Texas in Austin.
 
Hopeful I will get some updates in Mipim this week. Sounds like some big announcements about the university possibly linked to the Etihad campus?

What transport infrastructure? The roads are gridlocked on match days which makes bus travel back into town a ball ache and don't get me started on the abortion that is METROLINK.

There is nothing wrong with the Metrolink infrastructure. The problems are that the operational side appears incapable of working out what times matches end. A couple of double tram units waiting at 5:00 pm (or appropriate) on a Saturday would solve most of the problems.

You may be right re the infrastructure- but operationally the Meyrolink doesn’t even work particularly well on that line on a non match day. For the investment it’s a very average service at best; that simply cannot cope in a match day - to the point that some of the over crowding must present a safety risk.
 
The Ashton line ML would work a lot better if the Merril St bottleneck was addressed. It's a shame they didn't do a cut and cover between the New Islington and Holt Town stops as this would enable the trams to flow better in both directions whilst the post-match pedestrian wave is heading back towards town and all those the taxis are trying to do u-turns.

We need a better long term strategy for providing transport into the area if all this development potential is to be realised.

e.g. Maybe they could have a serious look at the feasibility and viability of reinstating the missing rail viaduct and introducing a 'circle line' train service operating on a regular loop between the Etihad, Victoria, Deansgate and Piccadilly. That would give an alternative way for people to connect with the other ML spokes plus the regional rail network. This could be viable if the residential population of the area around the stadium increases plus new attractors arrive such as higher education facilities, arenas and/or commercial leisure.

Yes we are struggling to sell out quite a few games which is makinv it hard to justify such a huge outlay. Laings are busy at the airport,the factory project and probably Gary Neville’s new job.

It does not appear to be immediately urgent.
