Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Is it just me , or is anybody else frustrated that there haven't been any announcements regarding Stadium expansion or developments regarding the collar site? I would have thought that winning the Premier League and the fact that we sold out our home games last season would have kick started something.

What has interested me slightly is the fact a new City Square of sorts is being mooted on here for the Public Plaza area of the new stadium across the road. Perhaps allowing the current one to move across freeing up room for extending the North Stand? But this must be at least 2/3 years away. Surely we don't have to wait that long?

I think they have just put in planning app for a new ring in the ground around the shop to show supporters names? so it is more than likely that the plaza will be a fan zone two or an away fan zone?

I've heard before that they take seats out in order to put the stage in, so probably that.

Re: Man City billionaires to turn Eastlands in to Las Vegas?

I LIKE THIS!!!! it has the maine road feel to it with the non ajoining stands and the low walls surrounding it, i can imagine on derby day or champs league nights the atmosphere pouring out of the stadium

I like it as well, as it also reminds me of Maine Road.
All four sides are different and look like each one has been designed by a different architect

What exactly IS this?

I've looked back through the thread, is it supposed to be a genuine mock up of the plans Sheikh Mansour has for the Etihad or the designs for a new stadium, or an example of a design for a stadium not connected with City? What is it?

It's chaos...archaic in design!
Compared to that organic, lovely glowing orb of a stadium in Warsaw shown the other evening, it's something the likes of a once ambitious club hoping to climb back to the top would consider (annexed with a Tesco Megastore).
Hoping if anything is in the planning for the stadium, it's sent back to local designers (BDP for example).

That's interesting.

Family Stand.

Has anyone ever complained about the seats? Can't think of an obvious reason to replace them.

Wonder if letters or words are going on the new seats to make up.........

No planning apps gone in for that.

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Where was the stage? they might have pulled those seats out to accommodate it, and you might be looking at them being put back in?

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Probably already been mentioned.

Two trams were tested on the East Manchester(Etihad stop) line last night.

Hopefully it won't be long before the service is up and running.

Might pop down to the Etihad tram stop for the first proper service. Would be nice to get a picture.

Been testing for weeks, line was due to open a few weekends ago but further testing was needed. How do I know? I was working on the line as they were testing.

Correct Sir.

Loads more interesting picture of the concert/stadium below the picture.
