Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

Great pics jrb. It really is beginning to take shape now.

Some of them pics actually look like renders from an artists impression. The bridge supports look quite sleek and the cladding looks great. Can't wait to see how far it's come on again on Wednesday... I park right at the back of the CFA site now so have a good look as I'm walking to the ground.

Amazing to think what was on that land when I was a nipper (Steel works and colliery), not to mention when I used to visit Clayton Aniline with work... and how far we and the area have come since we moved there. Fantastic for Manchester and game changing for the club and the sport in this country...

Great innit?

Who is Collymore kidding?

Everton?????? Spurs??? Both could fill a 62,000 capacity stadium on a regular basis. Of course they could Stan, you absolute.......(fill in as appropriate)

By the way Stan. Both are linked. Larger stadium, bigger revenues, better players, more success on the pitch. Doh!

Now f*** off back to the Black Country and concentrate on staying on the straight and narrow.

Physical violence in any form is never an excuse or acceptable.

Go easy, Stan suffers from depression.

Still can't understand why that cladding isn't sky blue. Swear there was a picture of it previously and it was. Only a small thing I know!!

Was discussed earlier - there was a picture of some full-sized mock-up walling they made in blue. It was rejected because the colour fades over less time than you might think, apparently.

This, it looks horribly plastic in no time at all.. Where as grey just stays grey

Just noticed this on the MCC website - <a class="postlink" href="http://pa.manchester.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=LLE44PBC6K000" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://pa.manchester.gov.uk/online-appl ... 44PBC6K000</a>

Seems we're adding new doors to the new club shop, or is that new doors to both new ends of the stadium? ;)

(off topic I know but..)
Hi, I am a student doing an extended project on the question ‘Has football lost touch with its roots?’ ‘Roots’ are whatever you want them to be, but I was curious of your thoughts on the following areas:
• Demographics and pricing.
• The foundations and original form of fanship.
• New style of fanship.
• The running of teams as clubs or businesses.
• The effects of broadcasting.
Your thoughts would be much valued as I would like to be able to represent your views in my exploration of the topic. Cheers!
