Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium
Not City related, but an interesting development nevertheless.
Victoria Warhouse Hotel opposite OT is now taking bookings.
775 rooms. Thtat's right 775 rooms.
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.victoriawarehouse.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.victoriawarehouse.com/</a>
Add Chuckle 1's hotel and bar, plus the planned United fanzone, and that area outisde/around OT should be pretty busy on Match days.

Is this the old warehouse which had the City graffiti at the top? I went passed the other day and it looked derelict.

If you're interested, click on the link for further photograhs of the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
How the City of Manchester Stadium looked during the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Compare and contrast to today's Etihad Stadium and Etihad Campus.
Click photograph to enlarg. Well worth it.
1. Note the building located where the current City souvenier shop and ticket office is. Very similar.
2. Note the Aniline site behind the industrial units. Grassed over for the games?

From the Air
As 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of Manchester hosting the XVII Commonwealth Games we are taking the opportunity to commemorate the occasion by uploading a selection of images taken by Greater Manchester Police’s photographers during the period.
The event, said to have been largest multi-sport event ever to have been held in the UK, was hosted at venues across the region.
Construction on the main stadium began in January 2000 and cost over £100 million.
The games were officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, then celebrating her Golden Jubilee, and a great sporting success and major boost for the region.
Thousands of tourists and members of the media flocked to the city from across the Commonwealth and the rest of the world.
Greater Manchester Police staged its largest ever planned operation to provide security for all involved and to ensure that life in the rest of the region went on as normal. The Force received much praise for its work and played its part, along with Manchester City Council and a wide range of other agencies in ensuring the reputation of Manchester was enhanced.
Visit here for more Commonwealth Games images.

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium
What is clear is that the temporary stand went nearer the shop than the back of the north stand does today but in order to do this there had to be a gap in the seats to accommodate the roof support which was in place to support the rest of the roof even though there was no roof on the North Stand.
Hi jrb - as regards your no 1 - it was the same building as it is now. I sat in the North stand for the games.jrb said:If you're interested, click on the link for further photograhs of the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
