Wow. Thanks jrb. I know it's been done to death, but the Asda does stick out like a sore thumb!

My Dad was from round there and I played Sunday league on shit pitches there back in the early 70's. What a transformation.

It is one of the best sporting campuses in the UK, if not in Europe and the world, bar Olympic funded sports campuses.

A couple of years old. The Coop Live Arena is under construction. The gas tower is still standing.

The Google Maps satellite image is from about the same time as the first picture. If City can grab those former gas holder land parcels it gives them a lot of wriggle room in the future.

And the slither of land that snakes to the side of the parcel of land and the tennis courts.

I know others are also looking at the former gas works site to the west of New Viaduct street.

Is it still on the market?

It's not listed on the National Grid Property Portfolio, so I presumed the land had been sold to a buyer?

I looked at it a few months ago for a Manchester based property developer.

Thanks.

I can understand why there is plenty of interest in the site, be it from City or from a property developer.

I think this is news. MCR property group has acquired land around the Etihad and new arena (including the former gasworks) to build housing https://www.insidermedia.com/news/n...close-to-etihad-with-potential-for-2000-homes .

No train station then? Boooo.

Hopefully though they will make a pedestrian walkway from the L shaped parcel of land next to the big car park to make a more direct route to the proposed Sandhills tram stop. There’s a tunnel already under the train line which might be usable.

Won’t happen for years then, notorious land bankers. They will wait till spades are in the ground on the Holt Town Framework and then flip the land at a profit.

Not heard of it either but here's a link with a little info. Not a good day for the Metrolink. Currently all trams in Manchester are stuck without power.

Do you mean the tunnel or the tram stop?

It’s progressing at the usual snail’s pace. It’s only really of benefit to those on the Bury line as it would be the same walk to it as it is to Piccadilly but means avoiding the city centre congestion. I calculate 1.4 miles walk to each of Piccadilly, Central Park (Oldham line) or Sandhills. We’re not getting anything else.

It might not even go ahead yet or be designed to handle loads of football fans but the plans for that area did mention a tram stop and walking routes to the campus.
