Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

It's good, could be better and 20 years ago might have been state of the art, no longer though.

Don't forget, until recently there was little or no wifi in the stadium !

a blessing. if people cant go 2 hours without looking at their phones, they should reassess their lives.

There’s a thread about Bury. Is it this one.

There is a privately run double decker bus that goes to every home game. It leaves about an hour and 3/4 prior to kick off. Was a £5 return fee. Price may have gone up now. It leaves from Moss St outside the Art gallery.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. Will look into it. Cheers.

Looks like someone forgot to water the pitch above the academy stadium.

That’s the pitch used to mimic the swamp at old toilet

Is it a stadium for ants?

Did a construction picture update of the arena this afternoon. Includes pictures of the very tall exterior cladding mock-up. I’ll post the pictures later on.

Slightly off topic.

Interesting snippet from an article about Chelsea’s new owners plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge, which will begin this year with new plans.

Blues co-owner Jonathan Goldstein.

He added: 'We've had three sovereign wealth funds say to us at the moment, the United Kingdom is on hold. They'd rather watch, and watch and wait. Britain looks uninvestable at this point.'

Why, Is there no deck?

This ‘from the horses mouth’ though im sure most will know this info

North stand extension starts as soon as the arena is finished
It will mirror the south stand (no ‘yellow wall’)
It will incorporate hotels and eateries etc and the superstore.

City square and the superstore will go in its current guise but will be re-done.
Superstore within the stand, square pushed further back.

There will be eatery/bar links to the arena from the stadium

Probs a titanic post this but got told on saturday by a man who knows

Oh and city bought that merc garage and that will be hotel/housing
