Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I’m still waiting for details on the design of Sandhills as to whether they’ll want football fans walking through it on matchdays tbh. It’ll be good for Bury line travellers if they do as it’ll be an improvement on crawling through town only to walk the rest of the way.

I often wondered though if it was possible to run trams from Bury through the Queens Road depot, then changing direction onto the Rochdale line to utilise Central Park a bit more. Seems cheaper than a new stop and CP is well designed for large numbers.

It hadn't dawned on that Sandhills was also on the Bury Line - in that case I can see why it might be a better option than going into town and then out again. Although you would think a cheaper option would be a good bus service around Queens Road/AlanTuring Way/Pottery lane - when as far as I can see there isn't one.
 
For those who are physically fit and don't mind strolling through the shady boulevards of Collyhurst, the Sandhills stop will be in reasonable walking distance of the Etihad. I doubt it's any further than Ashburys or Piccadilly, and for anyone going north, it will cut out all the hassle of the traffic in town.

Ashburys is 0.8 miles; Piccadilly and Central Park are 1.4 miles and Sandhills will be about the same. Not many do that walk to CP which always surprises me.

I don't do this often, but I've got off the Bury line tram at Queen's Road, and then walked it to the stadium via Hulme Hall Lane. It usually takes me about 25-30 minutes, and is more or less a straight line.

It’s funny that 1.4 miles seems just about okay but another half mile feels like an eternity. I’ve tried to get the rest of my group to do that walk from QR but they “don’t like the area”.

Mind you it’s alright for me as I’m quite a fast runner.
 
CFG, Oakview Group, and their Coop Live Arena management are smashing it.

Next year's Brit Awards are to be held in Manchester - the first time the ceremony has taken place outside London since the awards began in 1977.

The ceremony will be held at the Co-op Live arena on Saturday 28 February.

A two-year deal means that the 2027 ceremony, which will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Brit Awards, will also be held at the same venue.

Revenue from the hotel.

Revenue from the fan zone which will be open when the concerts and events are on.

Probable additional match ticket sales as people may want to come back and watch a City match?

And some dodgy accounting from the Coop Live Arena revenue into the club. ;-)

And if that's not enough, Sheikh Mansour can throw some more cash in from his money laundering business.

What difference is it to the old
social club next to Maine Road, concerts in the main Etihad stadium or even the hotel we’re building with regards to revenue that could go into the club coffers?

The money for designing and constructing the Coop Live Arena has to be deducted from any initial Coop Live Arena operating profit. Once that is paid off or paid back, then the Coop Live arena will be making serious money for the CFG and the Oak View Group.
