North Stand Construction Discussion

[bluemanc16]

That will go over most people's heads

Albert Quixall used to manage one of Freddie Pye's scrap yards on Ashton New Road not far from the Etihad, you never argued with the weigh in price when Freddie was around in fact you could call it a Quality price, one for the FOC

115 tonnes.

That's a lot on 2 falls, ropes must be some diameter

The city centre skyline is changing at a pace also. Great shot of it in the background. I'm surprised how green the surrounding area is. Looks picture postcard from above.

Slightly off topic. Sorry.

The Manchester skyline certainly is changing! :-)

Buildings 20 stories and above.

Small buildings are included in the list as they form part of the overall proposal.

20 storey buildings aren’t classed as a towers, but they will still be visible on the Manchester skyline from certain directions.

Some of the proposed buildings won’t get built.

There are buildings, including new towers, currently under design that we don’t know about yet.

Can anyone remember when the next meeting about the North stand between the fans and the club was supposed to take place?

I can't imagine Albert Quixall as a scrap dealer.

I remember reading that he used ballet dancing as a aide to training when he was with Sheffield Wednesday.

He scored the very late equaliser in the 1963 derby in 1963 which effectively sent City down.

I remember going to that derby in 1963 but was locked out and all I could hear was the chants of Harley, Harley, Harley as I waited for the gates to open near the end so I could dash in.
Fcukin rags…

Tonights Video, new drone so can now zoom in a lot closer, let me know if there is anything in particular you want to see close up

What's going to be built where the gas tower is now? more car parking?

 

[jimharri]

What's happening where the gas tower is being demolished? more car parking?

It's a shame that's being demolished. I understand that they're not everyone's cup of tea, and they'll never earn "listed building" status. But it was a (of sorts) landmark structure around the area. Maybe it could have been spruced up a bit; a lick of paint, possibly? Unless it was structurally unsafe?

No; not HP. Full asking price from the off.

Been posted previously.

You’d think it would be a no brainier for City to buy the land from the National Grid before it hit the market. There will be lots of interest from property developers. The land for sale would increase the size of the back car parks by at least a 1/3rd and offer more car parking spaces, or more land to redevelop on and around the Etihad Campus.

Three sites totalling just shy of 16 acres are up for grabs just outside the Holt Town regeneration zone.



National Grid is selling a trio of plots off Bradford Road close to the Etihad Campus and the soon-to-complete Co-op Live arena.

Two of the plots are former gasholder sites, with the largest spanning 10 acres. The gasholder has been removed and the site has been levelled.

The second largest site is a little over five acres and also features a former gasholder, which is in the process of being removed.

The third site is a one-acre landlocked L-shaped plot close to the Blue car park at the Etihad.

Cushman and Wakefield are selling the land. I can’t find any information about the sale of the land on their website.

There could be 57 varieties.
