Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

True I guess we also have more onsite accommodation as well think they do have a mini stadium but its, like 400 seats ours is few thousand

the Money for the sports institute leisure and education facilities are extra right

Their 'stadium' is more akin to our indoor pitch (although ours is presumably fake grass?).

The land for the Beswick Hub(18 acres?) and the 6th Form College across the road were given free of charge to the Council. The Council would have paid for the building I think.

No mini stadium and the indoor training hall is no where near as big or high as the CFA, which has temperature control that can reduce to below zero, along with the costs of remediation, former chemical works, I guess why CFA was more expensive.
Leicester’s looks impressive much like others that have opened recently,
seem to have copied some of the features of CFA I’ve no doubt that they consulted City much like we with other clubs and sports did before finalising our plans

Did we pay for the remediation? I thought there was an EU fund to cover that which we claimed for but I’m not certain and happy to be corrected.

Thanks, Failsworthblueboy. (saved me a job, and a possible £200 fine)

My dad was head analytical chemist at the works where the CFA is now.
I used to tell him, at least it is now something more useful.

I recall the amount of contaminated earth to remove was huge and costly, and also necessary. My dad developed cancer as a result of the chemicals, but as they knew it may happen it was found early and he recovered.

I thought we'd paid for it but a quick search only brings up the land next to the South Stand where a couple of mine shafts were plugged. We did apply for grants for them apparently.

Eastlands remediation work finished

You could try the LA planning portal. there should be quite a lot on there, although it likely to be mainly drawings sections for the civils, structural works? However, all the SI, contamination assessments, remediation and verification reports should be on there.
