Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Off topic I know but what a mess the MEN website is. I can’t read articles on my mobile as it’s a constant fight to scroll down (the pages seem to keep reloading and jumping back upwards), my thumb is getting RSI. Then there’s popups and stupid ads.
Press the doubleA next to your search bar and select Show Reader when reading websites like that. Gets rid of all the shit.

All here.

Quite ambitious.

I like the Villa Live concept. An indoor City Square.

Full details.

A new North Stand, etc.


City really need to get going with our expansion and surrounding area to keep ahead of everyone!
 
Way off topic. Villa are expanding Villa Park to 50,000, even though they don’t fill the current capacity which is 43,000. Villa it done in before the UEFA Euro 2028.
Not true, the average for all PL teams last season was between 1,000 & 2,000 of their maximum capacities (roughly, and yes, that includes us :) ). The only exception for some odd reason was Chelsea who were 4,000 lower on average.

Was it due to the restrictions on selling tickets they got when RA got sanctioned?

Could be because they couldn't sell match day tickets post Ukrainian situation and Abramovic

A pound shop Etihad campus that :) no, seriously it looks decent but we already have the jump on them with what we have & co-op live (see they’re calling theirs Villa live) which makes us still so far in front of what anyone else is currently planning. They are still only in a consultation phase, by the time they lay a brick I’d of watched an NBA game at the ‘coop’ & sampled some of its finest ales and exquisite Chip barms on match days! The expansion will happen after it’s built allowing us to set up a temporary club shop & City square in there, I’ve got a feeling we’re gonna do it properly when the expansion happens

I hadn't considered that aspect before, but could Coip live provide some match day facilities.?That would be excellent.

Ahh, I'd forgotten that. I was using transfermarkt figures too, which didn't help as they've got the home game against Everton down as 13,933 rather than 39,933 back in December.



 
One word. Bullish!

Place North West.

Tim Leiweke, chief executive of Oak View Group, said he is unconcerned about a £50m project to upgrade and expand the AO Arena in Manchester city centre, claiming his 23,500-capacity project in Eastlands will be one of the top five music venues in the world.

“At the end of the day, they say a lot of things,” he said.

“They announced their renovation two years ago and then they didn’t do it. We announced our construction project two years ago and we’re halfway done.”

ASM is due to start its modernisation project this summer but Leiweke is certain that his Eastlands project will be far superior to what can be delivered at the 27-year-old AO Arena.

“I am absolutely convinced this arena will be one of the top five arenas in the world for music. Would I want to compete with that? Hell no.”

One way OVG plans to do this is by improving walking routes from the city centre arena, especially canal towpaths. Electric shuttle buses were mentioned in a recent meeting with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Leiweke also recognises the importance of the tram network.

 
It was me. I have a little OCD :)

Think the corners are meant to be temporary for when he East and West stands are done. Agree they look messy.
I just always assumed the corners weren't done cos the costs were too much for a few more seats.
