Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Like everyone else I’m really looking forward to seeing more information and more CGI’s of the proposal.

As you say, hopefully more CGI’s will be made public soon? Or we might have to wait until the full planning application is submitted?

Link to the MCC‘s planning portal if anyone wants to keep an eye out on it over the coming weeks?

I`m hoping after the final consultation proposal date finishes we will see more asap mate. If things are going to start ramping up in the summer and getting cracking autumn time then it would be great to see more of whats planned.

Looking great. The Coop Live Arena is going to be the best indoor arena in the UK and Europe.

Add the North Stand expansion, the 3000 capacity City Plaza, the Museum, the Hotel, etc, and the Etihad Campus as a leisure destination in it’s one right is slowly taking shape.

White COG for 4K.

Coop live arena under construction. The building of the new coop live arena along Alan Turing way in Beswick Manchester. Not far from the Asda and Etihad Stadium is an arena being built. This was filmed late February 2023.

What intrigues me is how they’re gonna get those cranes out of there!!

Thought the same thing, will probably be a mobile crane when they disassemble the fixed ones then the final trusses lifted in using a couple of mobiles might mean Alan Turing Way being closed during the lift?
 
The 2 drone videos shown how large the North stand expansion, Plaza, Museum and Hotel will be when it’s finished, as they will stretch all the way back to the back of the current souvenir store. Maybe even further back?

A formality in any case. City and the Council are incredibly close And our plans will be well known in MCC planning circles.

Defo agree with that mate and I don’t think planning etc will be long at all with the final and full showing of professional CGI’s if construction is due to start fully in a matter of months?
 
We need a fleet of these electric buses that are used solely on match days at the Etihad.

The club needs to find a sponsor, (cough!) the Coop and OVG, and buy a fleet of Electric buses. They can be used during the week for public transport when there are no matches, recouping the sponsors money, or putting the money going back into improving the transport to and from the Etihad Campus. The improved Metrolink and walking proposals aren’t enough to cope with matches, concerts and events.

Six months to go! Say ‘yellow’ to BeeNetwork buses

With exactly six months to go before Greater Manchester brings buses back under local control, the first Bee Network co-branded bus was unveiled in Bolton!

The first branded bus entered service today and will serve the number 8 route connecting Bolton and Manchester city centre via Farnworth and Salford.

When franchising is introduced in September, 50 brand new electric Bee Network buses will be introduced on day one, alongside new ‘Euro VI’ vehicles and dozens more co-branded buses from the existing fleet, including Vantage buses. A further 50 electric buses will also be introduced onto the network in March 2024, when the second part of franchising starts.

The reveal of the new yellow co-branded bus comes as an order was also placed for a further 170 electric buses that will operate in and around Stockport by 2024.

New digital passenger bus information displays are currently being trialled in Manchester city centre as part of a 6-month pilot, with two further sites due to be added.

The bit that concerns me is this bit , the bridge needs wider over the tram tracks as looks like accident awaiting to happen, if you make it wider it will like have two Joe Mercer Ways for exits and entrance into the site

Great idea. I really think setting up electric buses (lots of them), more bus lanes, and some airport-style taxi ranks would make a huge difference after matches. This is what all the biggest German clubs do, even the ones with good rail links. It is not rocket science. The current dangerous shambles can't continue. That said diabolical transport is the norm at most English stadia.

With information pulled from Planning Statement on COOP live shows you footfall for a game and also COOP live, it looks like 60 per cent for a Manchester City game are heading towards the South Stand area and the same roughly for COOP live.

With nothing going to happen with Metro Link, why don't the club build their own transport hub at the former Mercedes garage and run their own shuttle train to a destination further down the line where a multi-storey car park could be built next to Beswick Arches or further down where is available land that has better transport links same in the other direction that they would link up with a major road or train line.

Look at this tiny wee train that runs to Stourbridge you would buy more carriages to run the service lol
