Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

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.

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.

Imagine this - you leave the ground after clapping the players and Pep off, walk to the station and you miss the first train as it leaves half empty not to worry 1 minute later another one pulls up, you get on and again it leaves half empty. This was Wembley Park on Sunday - so many tubes they can afford to go without filling up! Chances of this happening at the Etihad more chance of me starting on Friday night (I have scored at the Etihad so it's not zero but pretty dam close). United will get an underground if Burnham is still in power when they finally get the money to start building - no chance of being within 5 years.

Interesting. I noticed WWE are doing the AO Arena in late August after doing Co-op Live late last year. Wonder why that would be.

Could be cost, could be the prompter but at the moment it looks like something is going on as Co-op has no events between 24/07 and 16/09. These arenas don't stay idle for 7 weeks for no reason.

That is odd.
Any ideas/knowledge anyone on what/why?
