Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

It's the potential for multiple exit points that does it for me - opens up Bradford Rd and AT Way for those heading west or North. I used to have season parking in Blue car park. It was a lottery getting off, with the main problem being a single exit for cars going in all directions.

I used to always use Bradford Road to get away, good escape route, but they seemed to have blocked it at the town end last time I tried. Do you still find it OK?

Reopening or adding a new railway station would be big news so I’m guessing it’s probably just access for line-side maintenance. Miles Platting would be a better station to re-open at the top of Alan Turing Way/Hulme Hall Lane as there’s a spare bridge doing nothing there at the moment and it could utilise the Leeds/Newcastle services. The Park station site would sort of duplicate the Ashton tram line route.

In reality neither is likely to happen unless City have offered to help pay for it.

I did 32 years on the railway and Temporary access for works looks nothing like these, they are permanent steps consisting of brick support and capped with a concrete slab. 100% agree with the Miles Platting Station, my first thought was maintenance as well mate, I’ll get a pic when I can.

Sisk in talks to build £300m Man City stadium expansion

John Sisk & Son is in talks to build the £300m expansion of Manchester City Football Club’s Ethiad Stadium, Construction News can reveal.

The Premier League winners are planning to add an upper stand, with 7,700 seats, to the North Stand at their stadium in east Manchester. The proposed expansion would also see a 3,000-capacity fan zone with food and drink outlets, as well as a club shop, museum, office space and hotel.

Laing O’Rourke had been in advanced talks over building the scheme, but walked away from the project last month, having failed to agree a deal. Manchester City Football Club subsequently reached out to several other contractors.

Sisk is already working on preliminary groundworks relating to the project, but CN understands that the Irish contractor is now also in advanced talks about delivering the entire scheme, subject to it receiving planning permission from Manchester City Council.

Manchester City Football Club has previously said the project would involve “over £300m investment in the east Manchester area”, although the value and type of construction contract are unknown.

An official contractor announcement is expected to be made in the autumn, with work starting around November. The works would take the stadium’s capacity up to 61,000.

The football club is hoping to open the newly upgraded North Stand by August 2025, ready for the 2025/26 season, while it expects the hotel and public realm works to be complete by mid-to-late 2026.

Manchester City revealed plans in 2014 to boost the stadium's capacity to around 60,000, with its South Stand and North Stand to be enlarged. However, only the proposals to upgrade the South Stand with a third tier have so far come to fruition, with Laing O’Rourke completing the 6,000-seat job.

Manchester City Football Club and Sisk were contacted for comment.
 
Annabel Tiffin asked Burnham whether the City should be taking money for an arena from a nation with an appalling human rights record..... hypocrisy to slag off Abu Dhabi / CFG then take the money
