Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

[fbloke]

A quick observation on the new academy site going back to an earlier discussion on the thread.

The plans are for 16.5 football pitches with 12 of them 'dedicated to players aged 8-21'.

So its clear that most of the facility is for non- 1st team use.

An incredible investment in youth development.

As we know time is of the essence if they want to get things done for the RWC.

That game takes place on 10/10 2015, 2 years and one week from today.

I have faith in the "project". With the speed of which the CFA is being thrown up I have no doubt they could do the same with the South Stand in much shorter timeframes.

The Government have been paying developers a subsidy to clear brown field sites, it's an expensive buisiness, especially old gas work sites, but they represent prime development opportunities

the cost of clearing a site is roughly the same for what-ever was there before, the big problem is finding somewhere to take the spoil, and transporting it there, or even high-temperature incineration

High temperature incineration? Sounds like a plan for our first team to me after last night's performance!

Anyone know anything about the recruitment process for the completed academy? I Know a certain number of jobs are promised to local people. I wonder what they will be and when/where will they be advertised?

Nice one mate. Cool pic

You can see the campus bit at the top, do we know what's happening with the bit behind the east stand yet? Probably do and I've just forgotten but thought I'd ask
