Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

We have some moaning fans. I have a meeting this week where I will find out more about the stadium and collar site. Hopefully give a decent update this week.
 
Just thought I would post this in here, seemed the best place. A business man I know who is an Everton fan (doesn't go) but has some form of corporate season tickets at the Rags for his clients, contacted me because he knows I am a match day going Blue,
"How do I go about getting corporate tickets for the derby at your place, we are doing business with a Brazillian company and because of jesus we thought it would be great to bring them along"

I am not sure if we are turning into the Rags but hell we seem to be going (financially) in the right direction !

Can't believe the crap being posted on here our owners have dragged us up from pits of mediocrity and turned us into one the best clubs in Europe over taken the rags in just 8 years and now are bringing the facilities up to those of the best stadium in the world and all you do is moan and whine. I had to move seats when my old one was made corporate when they extended the South Stand. Have a great seat in East Level three, perhaps you prefer the bad old days of yo yoing from one league to another. I don't care where I sit as long as I can watch the likes David Silva, Sergio and the rest. What do you wont ? Shut up moaning and enjoy the best era in the clubs history.

Interesting that the club shop is still there with the extended north stand, there was talk of it needing to be demolished.

Is that the shop or possibly a stage ? There has been talk of the shop going behind Summerbees and there seems to be a building thare on the model.

I find the orientation of that model somewhat confusing.

Its totally inverted. Flip it 180% top top to bottom and it would be correct. Probably a picture taken in a mirror. I initially though it was a mold, but why bother painting the seats if so?

Selling out against Monaco after also selling out part of the away section as well is as big an indicator as any that the north stand needs to be done sooner rather than later.

Seems it's going to be done for 2019 at the earliest though if they don't start it reasonably soon.

I think it is Important that the club keep focus on the regular match goers who have been supporting the club for years before the money came. It was us long suffering diehards the owners acknowledged for our loyalty (at the time of buying us), not half and half scarf wearing camera clicking JCL's with no natural understanding or genuine affinity to the club. I understand we need a bigger fan base in order to expand the stadium, but the cost of attending must be kept affordable in order to expand and fill the stadium on a regular basis.

After all, If we ever fell from grace and (god forbid) got relegated, we'd still have 30k plus at home games. That's If we haven't been priced out and left the scene by then. If that happened, those JCL's will be nowhere to be seen, that's for sure!

funny thing is we have a huge local fan base, that with affordable tickets will come back or stay supporting us. thats the route we should be going down. we could easily sell out 60,000 without tourists. south stand level 3 is the model i hope we apply to any north stand expansion.

Great point.

An enormous amount of people have been priced out of going to see football, if City can bring back reasonably priced tickets, these fans would come back in their 1000's.

I'd argue extending the stadium would lead to cheaper tickets long term. If the club want a full stadium they will reduce ticket prices to get more in (which means, if you're like me and would be going anyway you benefit). If the club sells out every game in a smaller stadium, they might think, let's push our luck and charge £30 rather than £20.

The only price we would have to pay is having a few empty seats for some games - something I genuinely couldn't care less about!!
 
I see Spurs sold out wembley again for a Europa League game live on TV. I'm sure 30,000 or so just turn up for the experience of a big match at Wembley.

Create a 60,000 plus ground and it creates an occasion that people want to be part of. We need to keep up with the other clubs. This is the time to build when the club is growing on the pitch.
