Today's MEN.

Manchester City have cleared the final hurdle in the club’s plans for a £100m training complex.

A Compulsory Purchase Order clearing up outstanding issues with the 80-acre site has been granted at the High Court. The Blues can now go ahead with building what they promise will be one of the world’s leading sports institutions.

The M.E.N. revealed in May that the last of two businesses standing in the way of the plans, on run-down land across the road from the Etihad stadium, had reached an agreement with City shortly before the CPO hearing in London.

But a number of minor legal issues had to be resolved, including the ownership of mineral rights on the site.

This meant project partners Manchester council had to press on with the unopposed order.

Remedial work has been taking place at the site, which will eventually host a 7,000 -seat stadium, a sixth-form college and community sports facilities.

It will also provide a world-leading institute of sports science and sports medicine as well as accommodation for the club’s academy starlets.

City declined to comment on the issuing of the CPO which is thought to have been just a formality.

But Eddie Smith, chief executive of urban regeneration company New East Manchester said it was the final piece of the jigsaw.

He said: "Manchester City’s plans in East Manchester are a hugely important ingredient of the ongoing regeneration of the area, which will see not only world-class leisure and educational facilities for the community, but also jobs for local people.

"We worked with the club to help relocate existing business and sustain existing jobs and are pleased that the secretary of state has reached a decision in the public interest which will enable this ambitious scheme to move forwards."

The club hopes that the new training complex will open in 2014. Members of the first team can look forward to features including a new gym, refectory and an injury and rehabilitation centre.

The site will also include office space and a dedicated media centre. It will be linked to the stadium via a footbridge.

Blues officials visited 30 of the world’s top sporting institutes to create a blueprint for the new campus.

Hopefully we'll be unearthing a few diamonds on that land.
