Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Thanks JRB,that is some jig saw,as Rolf Harris would say”do you know what it is yet”Some clever sods must have an idea where the next piece goes.
Hopefully not a young girl he’s fiddling with the dirty paedo ****

Rolf Harris that is, not JRB
 
Whilst we’re on the subject of the Etihad’s exterior.

The arse end of Old Trafford that nobody ever see’s. (the biggest football club in the world?)

And what the Glazer’s have to overcome to expand the main stand.

Motorways not rail, but it's been done before.

Surely it would have to be a Radisson Blu
Radisson Red in Glasgow ;-)

it’s a serious point though. I can count 7 hotels within 5 minute walk of the Hydro in Glasgow where there used to be one before it was built. For info, it’s a similar walk from Glasgow city centre to the Hydro as it is in Manchester to the campus. I am surprised that at least one or two hotel chains haven’t already got planning permission to build. What a difference it would make for those of us that travel from other parts of the U.K.
 
There is a live web cam showing the indoor arena development. It's on the co-op live web site

Manchester City have begun building the world’s first football stadium inside the metaverse with the help of virtual reality experts at Sony.
Using image analysis and skeletal-tracking technologies created by Hawk-Eye, a subsidiary of the tech and entertainment giant, the club’s stadium will become the central hub of City in a virtual reality world.
Club officials working on the project envisage a time when City can fill a virtual Eithad Stadium several times over, allowing supporters who may never go to Manchester to watch live games from the comfort of their own homes anywhere in the world.

Imagine virtual season tickets and I've got a Venezuelan, an Australian and an Indian watching the match from my seat... Mind bending. If you could convert 10% of the 40M Facebook followers into £50 season "ticket holders". Fuck Sky and watch an ocean of piss start boiling

I believe this sort of strategy is the reason why the really big business giants are now getting into PL football. The future will involve huge digital pay-per-view events for the real team which will generate staggering revenues. There are also potentially huge revenues to come in the same way from the e-sports version of Manchester City. The current broadcasting revenues are a tiny fraction of what will come. This is the real reason for the bitter battle between UEFA and the biggest clubs.

They’d better make actually going to the match free if this starts happening!

It'd be shite without real people there.
