Hmmmm...have I missed something?The Scouse Toffee Mayor says you are !!
British Cycling and Etihad Campus are lesser integrated too. British Cycling have BMX and MTB courses on Clayton Vale and Phillips Park. CITY's only notable presence is the Etihad Stadium is painted under a gloomy arch. Next stop Scotland Hall Road Park in Newton Heath for a City facility.Why are the club not in talks with the council? regarding using Philips Park doing something in there, the key strategy of the club at the moment seems to be keeping people at the Etihad Campus to stop traffic build-up. Using Philips Park would give a bit of green to the concrete jungle that is the Etihad Campus. There is also plenty of land around the stadium and the surrounding area that can be used to develop all singing all dancing entertainment district for the area that the council want. Just look what they have done with the training ground

Took my lads to the BMX indoor track the other Saturday. Afterwards we went over to the Etihad and walked all around the ground. Apart from a private bus that pulled up to collect some Chinese tourists from the museum, we were the only people there. Literally had the entire site to ourselves.British Cycling and Etihad Campus are lesser integrated too. British Cycling have BMX and MTB courses on Clayton Vale and Phillips Park.

Not sure why it was so quiet when you went, i go past nearly everyday and its busier than ever. Since we won champs league there are even more tourists hanging around taking pictures and doing the tours.Took my lads to the BMX indoor track the other Saturday.

One observation that I can chuck in, regarding getting more people to visit the site, it's not that accessible for people on foot to get onto the site, because it is fenced off. If you are in a car, you can drive round to the entrance, but if you're on foot, you have to walk around looking for a way in. We cut in through a gate that was for coaches only, and climbed under some railings. It's not really user friendly like other grounds which are completely open to the public on all sides and you can just walk right up to them from any side.
I know there is a rough housing estate opposite and a big homeless problem, judging by the tents around Asda, but it's a bit much with all the gates and fences keeping people out. I mean, it is working, but people have a vested interest in it not being like a ghost town on a Saturday afternoon during the School holidays.

It’s almost as if it’s his first time of visiting the ground. Most City fans will know exactly where the entrances are.54 posts and 41 are in the united thread ,

No homeless problem near the ground mate...I live 10 minutes walk from the stadium , 2/3 years the Etihad Campus will look incredible...Took my lads to the BMX indoor track the other Saturday.

There are people living in the bushes next to flip out trampoline park. There are also people in tents at the front of the store, and not the decathlon ones!!! There was a guy begging on the crossroads under the foot bridge.No homeless problem near the ground mate...I live 10 minutes walk from the stadium , 2/3 years the Etihad Campus will look incredible...
You have exactly made my point for me. "Most City fans will know where the entrances are" What if they are visitors, tourists, day trippers, attending a concert, a hen/stag do etc etc...It’s almost as if it’s his first time of visiting the ground.

People are saying that its going to be the next big attraction in Manchester, they'll be hotels, bars and restaurants, but only City fans know how to get on to the site.
Why is the stadium fenced off?
Fuck off and watch Arsenal then all your problems solved ! Never read so much drivel in my life.There are people living in the bushes next to flip out trampoline park.

I have always found it odd why the site is fenced off with locked gates. Yes, you can cross over and get on the bridge, but if you were walking up grey mare lane, you can't just cross over and into the ground without having to go back over to the campus and cross 4 lanes of traffic.
When you go to the Emirates, the ground is part of the high street. You get off the bus and you are right there in the stadium. It is much more user friendly, and part of the area, not a separate entity. You either want to open it up to the public, or you don't.
This is what I mean
