Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[LEXSTARproject]

@LEXSTARproject What do you read from this?
CMC have got what they want from the partnership and are moving on? Or Mansour & Silverlake want to go in a different direction to CMC?

@Stockton Heath Blue that the CFG are no longer buying a team in China, that Silverlake will be heavily involved with New York City FC and the new stadium and surrounding area. You never hear of the Chinese Super League anymore, Maybe more sponsors of CITY from firms that Silverlake are involved in

There was capping work done a good few years back

Eastlands site remediation ends - Place North West

The capping of two disused mine shafts from the former Bradford colliery, each nearly one kilometre deep, marks the completion of the remediation work on a 17-acre plot next to the City of Manchester stadium.

www.placenorthwest.co.uk

The remediation story is fiction.

The majority of in fill was surplus wire trolleys and baskets from Asda, the leftover tyres from that rags garage,compacted with two weeks of refuse from Grey Mare Lane market.

The engineers were meticulous in ensuring the contents were fully compacted by leaving the crater open to the east Manchester weather for several days.

I hope that eases any unnecessary concerns, happy to help as always !!

Did you mention the rest of the stadium will get a new external shell? Wonder if that would be part of the upcoming project.

It's time to get excited! :-)

Taken numerous pictures.

I've wrote everything down. (thank you to the security guard inside the City store for lending me his pen)

I've measured the distances between the soil testing rigs with my shoes. ;-) Lol!

I'll try and get the info posted today at some point. Maybe some of the pictures as well? (been in work since 4am and straight to the Etihad) If I don't post all the pictures today, I'll definitely post them all tomorrow morning.

Chinese Gov have been suggesting withdrawing from Football as an investment for a few years now, part of the refocus of general investment following the failure of some banks and big property companies. Even Chinese individuals/businesses have had it "suggested" they pull the money back into less frivolous investments, AC Milan on the market again

 

[pride in battle]

Yes.

As a wrap around like Bayern Munich ? So within the North Stand expansion, ie 2 years ?
Thanks
