269 looks like a straightforward SI Drilling Rig set up JRBArena picture updates.
The site, mud, and piling rigs.

How much did the campus cost ? Saw Leicester new training ground on Football Focus and it apparently cost 95 million Thought ours cost about double that and yet they seem to have the same things and ours is smaller I think they even have a golf course

Revealed: Manchester City plans to create home-grown stars as part of £170m Football Academy plan
Manchester City's mega-rich Sheikh wants to create a world-beating team of home-grown stars, according to files revealed today by the M.E.N. The papers, prepared by the club ahead of a public inquiry into its plans for a new top-flight academy and training ground, show that bosses have pledged a...
£170 million but that includes the Mini Etihad Stadium which I don't think Leicester have.
You also have to factor in that theirs is out in the sticks on the site of a former golf course (so no costs for keeping 9 of the holes), whereas ours is inner city and we had to pay for decontamination of the land.

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

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

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.

Leicester s training ground on Google Maps, it's over 11 miles from the ground, out in the sticks.

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.

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.
