Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

BAM - Linkedin.

Construction of the UK’s largest entertainment arena in Manchester has started this week, kickstarting a wave of economic activity and job creation across Greater Manchester. Co-op Live is being built by Salford-based BAM Construct UK, who have revealed that almost £150 million of the construction orders have already been placed with local firms.

Ian Fleming, Director of BAM Construction in the North West: ‘The highly digital way we work allows us to achieve the sustainability demanded by the most ambitious clients in the world and it attracts young entrants to our profession. Working smarter means working safer for those 2,000 people that will cross our boundary and using technology and techniques like off-site manufacturing. We rely on the quality of our supply chain here in the North West and how well we work with them to integrate all these elements together. Greater Manchester has got the talent and resources we need, and it means BAM’s work here for this northern landmark will boost the local economy and bring big social benefits for people living here, all of which is a source of great pride to me.’

Thanks for posting this. This is one story which will not receive any coverage in the UK press because it's not happening in London and doesn't fit the negative media narrative about the impact our club is having in its home city. You can imagine a few journos looking for an angle which supports their fantasy "sportwashing" story and then thinking: "This won't get any clicks."

There is at least one big blue in that picture.
 
Tony bush the pm For Laing who did the south stand retired this week age 63. (Did not want to commit to 5 years on Everton’s stadium) Understand he may be doing some consultancy for City on the North Stand however. It will happen. Just waiting for post Covid world to settle down. Can really see operation one end happening.
 
Whats being built or planned to be be built ? Or is everything completed that we know about other than the arena ?

Is the Beswick / Connell 6th form / Sports Science Stuff all completed ? google maps seems to show a construction site and lots of waste ground and I think an empty building that was supposed to be turned into something was it an old police station
