Wow!

Wonder how long they’ve known this? No wonder they don’t want us smoking in the toilets!

Nobody knows to what extent that ACM cladding is on the stadium.

But it’s still a fire risk, even though it might be a small fire risk.

Others will know better than me, but aren’t safety certificates issued against all aspects of a stadium safety?

Surely stadium cladding would be one of those aspects?
 
The ban applies to all new buildings (or where building work is carried out on a building) which have a storey 18 metres or more above ground level and which contain flats, a hospital, residential care premises, student accommodation and dormitories in boarding schools.

This one went under the radar.

The rest of the article is behind a pay wall.

Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and West Ham United’s London Stadium are both partially clad in aluminium composite material (ACM), the same type of cladding found on Grenfell Tower, a Construction News investigation has found. In both cases, the stadium operators claim the use of ACM, which is being replaced in hundreds of residential blocks taller than 18 m across the country, is ... https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/?orderby=date&category=0&year=0&s=Manchester

Cladding on a stadium is a totally different safety scenario than say on a multi-storey block of flats. Thats not to say that it wont be changed at some time in the near future of course, but no building is ever claimed to be 100% safe anyway. Think of all the kitchen areas within a modern stadium and the hazards they have within them, the electric cables, lighting, sound systems etc which are all over the place including the roof and also the machinery used to maintain the stadium housed within it etc.

In the event of a major stadium fire in any area various evacuation scenarios will have been prepared for, including exiting the stadium and/or entry onto the pitch for fans. If the club, licensing authority, fire service and police are doing what they are supposed to do we should all be as safe as we can be. Sadly of course when they dont it can be horrific ie Hillsborough or Bradford. They were both dated stadiums not modern like ours is today. Im surprised Hillsborough hasnt been demolished tbh, that bloody stand is still there just reconfigured. Horrible.

i'm gutted! My seat will be white... i've sat in that seat every match since the stadium was built, alongside my mum, the memories and things we've witnessed from those seats.... myabe i;m just emotional what with losing my dad in May, but mum is not in great health, and they're our seats. I wish they'd let fans buy them like when we left Maine Road, don't laugh at me btw! :(

Email them.

Few things happening. There will be a bar area - a bit like a pub feel in the south East Corner under the shite roof area - ready for the Chelsea game - is a like a semi corporate experience. This will add 100 seats to the Capacity as well. Also the arena will be going on land on the right hand side of the Campus as you cross the bridge walking towards the gasometer. Sounds like that will happen before the expansion to the ground. Keen to develop the area and surroundings and footfall of the site before the stadium for now.

There has also been a storage area built in the South West Corner.

All looking very clean. Pitch and new City seats look great.

You mean just on the west side of Alan Turing Way? Opposite the Asda or farther up? As far as opposite Philips Park maybe?
 
Where the bmx track used to be. So across the river / canal from the stadium.

Any news on the Collar site land, or the proposed MMU Institute of Sport?
