North Stand Construction Discussion

Anyone know what the wedge next to the bridge to the academy is being used for? Anything to do with this or something different altogether?

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.

PNW.

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.

I'm sure City would have tried to secure this land off-market, but presumably Cushman's have advised them to take it to the market either to see if they can get better offers elsewhere or to benchmark the value and sense-check what City are offering. Considering our involvement in the wider land you'd imagine there's only one place this land is going! I hope so anyway.

Replied in the Etihad Campus thread.

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?

In Camden they've been turned into flats, businesses and retail outlets. They look very smart indeed compared to what they were.

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.

City dominated the match and were leading from an Alex Harley goal. It would have been arounf 5 minutes from the end when Law won the dodgy penalty.

That draw pretty well ensured relegation for City and survival for United with the final round of fixtures to play.
