Hublot clock tower

In the mid-1980s, when Manchester United Football Club owned the Manchester Giants, Manchester's basketball franchise, there were plans to build a 9,000-seater indoor arena on the site of what is now Car Park E1. However, the chairman at the time, Martin Edwards, did not have the funds to take on such a project, and the basketball franchise was eventually sold.[73] In August 2009, the car park became home to the Hublot clock tower, a 10-metre (32 ft 10 in)-tall tower in the shape of the Hublot logo, which houses four 2-metre (6 ft 7 in)-diameter clock faces, the largest ever made by the company.[74]

The east side of the stadium is also set to become the site for a new fan base to be funded by former Manchester United captain Gary Neville. The building will be located on the east side of Sir Matt Busby Way and on the opposite side of the Manchester Ship Canal from the stadium, and will accommodate up to 1,500 supporters. It is scheduled to open for the start of the 2013–14 season. The venture is being conducted separately from the club and will be paid for in part by proceeds from Neville's testimonial match.
