Thanks for the updates Stockton Health Blue.
Very interesting.

Thanks for that Gouldybob.

Always a good sign when drilling and (possible) soil samples are being taken. Unless it's to do with the Co-op Live Arena.(which I hope it isn't and doubt it is) Right time to do the drilling whilst there's no football at the Etihad for 4 weeks. I'll nip down tomorrow and get some pictures

It’s definitely the new stand and City Square.

All we need is a "Here we go" I agree with @jrb that the hotel and club shop will be moved into a building that will be built on the former "Super Casino" land along with other buildings with pubs and other leisure facilities, you say that this is taking place over the next summers, the covered plaza will be the last part to get done as the where the worker's units are just now as the new city square would need to be next to the improved North Stand.

Here is a suggestion away fan zone so City make money out of away fans as well, you could place it next to the Nexen Bridge as pictured below

Why the fuck would we give away fans hospitality? Imagine on derby day a coach load of rich yank rags filling up away hospitality.
 
It might make some sense to have a museum / club shop complex opposite the statues - would really tie the whole thing in - we have to plan for Kev and Pep et al to have statues at some point - so it’s an ongoing process and there’s plenty of space to develop something that can be expanded over time on that side of the stadium.

My own personal view is that the store and museum will be in the stand. City Square is the area which attracts the greatest gathering of people and footflow before and after a game. Not only that but they could make the tour, museum and store all part of a single experience. Go on the stadium tour, go through the museum and end up in the store to finish it off like they do with a lot of major attractions.
