Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[LEXSTARproject]

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.

Maybe this the land they are going to use.

City Sq /Plaza would be extended to take in the space at where the workers units are at the moment, you could built you new club shop etc there. The other side of Gibbon Street (running along side AT Way) you could built a new building that could have club offices a hotel and pubs and other leisuire activities and facilities

Rip the fuckers orf and give them an experience they'll never forget....

Thought that was the main ethos of the rags ?


Even if the performances on the pitch don't follow suit.

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

Got to be for the new proposals. Based on the updates it looks like we're pretty much there with proposals and the soil testing will be needed as part of the planning application which we'll probably see very early in the new year if we're wanting to start enabling works in the summer. Exciting times. Interesting that the roof is different on the NS hopefully that's because we have an expanded 2nd tier.

Latest update from my mate (but still no drawings): -

- Contractor finalising logistics & programme with City
- Enabling works definitely starting over the summer
- Bulk of works across next 2 summers
- Stand extension, hotel, museum, hospitality and offices with a covered plaza

Trying to find out where the hotel and offices will be situated. Couldn't confirm if the extension is a continuous 2nd tier, which is the most important piece, but said the roof was slightly different than the SS.

Reading posts like this, it's extremely exciting to think what the Etihad Campus will be like by 2025. Pleasing if the hotel is indeed part of the next phase - and especially if the mooted casino and conferencing facilities are incorporated into it at the stage. Remember that Co-op Live, according to the Sunday Times, will already have "32 bars, restaurants and clubs" that are open day in, day out.

It seems that the Campus might well be genuinely transformed in terms of its attractiveness as a destination. Starting to look as though all those bold claims in past versions of the Eastlands Regeneration Framework could be about to be realised to a significant degree.

Announcement might be imminent on this.

Just thinking that with the piling work going on right now that they may want to explain to everyone what’s going on.

I doubt it......they'll build it all overnight without telling anyone.

Typical City !!

One scary thing that's always concerned me is the whole site being built on and over mine shafts and tunnels is how much weight can the ground hold before part of it gives way or has the whole thing been filled in?

Three drilling machines taking cores of very grey stuff with another half dozen areas fenced/being fenced off with rubber mats for the machines to sit on. Looks like a few have already been done/identified as little circles all over the pace between the NS and the shop
