Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

You would get really dizzy going in & coming out, if you were on the top floor.

Don't need to go round and round to get dizzy do you?-)

We're officially up and running.

When piling rigs are onsite, that pretty much means construction has (officially) started.

It seems the majority of blues are not bothered about increasing the capacity. If the owners of the clubs cannot justify that expansion, I'm sure they must be looking what they can do to improve the look and feel of the stadium with a more conservative increase in the number of seats at tram end of the stadium. A single tier to create a blue wall would be a good idea with ticket prices to get people back into the stadium. More important will be the outside of the stadium with particular attention on increasing the size and quality of the roof both inside and outside. Along with other things this could improve the match experience, by putting things under one roof. The owners must have adapted there previous plans to reflect numerous factors that have changed over the past couple of season. What plans have been shared and provisionally with the council @jrb ?

Isn't the cameraman posh, raising their little finger to take the second pic?

I wouldn't be surprised if he previously was a band member with Stiff Little Fingers !!!

There would need to be a return on investment for any upgrades/improvements. The costs would be vast for little or no financial gain, unless they wack a massive corporate section in the middle of it, which I doubt is what you have envisaged.

That would be a nice to have, but I would be opposed to any further expansion personally.
