Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[LEXSTARproject]

This was a well publicised fan survey which most members got several years back. They also held local fan group sessions as well. Whatever happened, they ultimately delayed expansion of the North Stand following this review. I’d heard there just wasn’t the ticket demand for it at the time but wouldn’t be surprised if half the people who took the surveys were moaning about potentially moving as well.

Maybe it was COVID, but the chairman in one of the interviews talked about certain projects being put on hold maybe this was one of them because the financial climate caused by COVID. @HelloCity

I doubt there's a department at City working on it. The money and ideas come from the top and then consultants crack on and report back. Deloitte managed the planning application for the SS/NS expansion with Populous Architects doing the design (they've also done Spurs' new stadium amongst a wealth of other projects including masterplanning work). I'd expect the same team on this, doing wider proposals. They'll set the timescales and the budget and the consultants will go and make it work.

The main issue in my opinion is the transport capacity for wider development. The existing infrastructure cannot cope with increased demand in this location. So they'll have to have modelled scenarios and explored mitigation. As Petrusha stated, you'd anticipate some significant S106 contributions towards improving local transport infrastructure. What that will look like I'm unsure. Increased trams? New cycle/footpath connections? Upgrading existing train lines to deliver a new station. Those are the likely options.

City will be using World class experts in every field to microscopicaly plan and design every element of the infrastructure development and transport.

It's a huge, complex sequence of over lapping, standalone but mutually supportive projects but no more so than some of those successfully completed and operational in Abu Dhabi and elsewhere.

The make the impossible the art of the possible !!

That should go on the hoardings around the North stand and around the other proposals when work starts. Very apt.

Oh, so it’s still may not happen? Haven’t they put forward other stadium builds it gets the big NO!?

Anything is possible in America. Donald Trump became President.

Mayor Adams has a lot of clout. Similar to Richard Leese when he was in charge of MCC.

Still no official news on the NYC OS website about the new stadium proposal.

That’s exactly how MCFC work. They won’t release a statement or information on the proposal until they’re ready, regardless of any leaks.

Ten final stadia but I reckon we're about 12th/13th in the pecking order, 11th/12th if Ireland only want one and 10th/11th if they dump on Villa:

4x Guaranteed:
Wembley, Principality, Hampden, 1x Dublin

3x Almost certain:
2nd London, Swamp, 1x North East

3x political/regional options:
Casement Park - surely they'll want to cover all 4 UK countries
2nd Dublin - will Ireland be happy with just the single venue? Possibly, especially if Belfast is included. Slot likely to go to Everton if so.
Villa Park - will they allow the midlands to miss out? Unlikely but this is our only chance I think, but 3x North West V 2x London is unlikely.

4x back up options:
Everton, Etihad, 3rd London, 2nd North East.
