New City Pub To Open Inside the Stadium

[Thomas Hearns]

Yep it’s yet another bit of the ground for corporates and people with lots of money.
Posters will defend it, but year by year more the of the ground is becoming corporate and thousands will never be able to go into some of these sections - ie let’s get rid of the poor people

And we wonder why the atmosphere's shite

When does it open ? Might give it a try.

Ardwick were still a club playing their own games when City had been formed and were playing games ourselves.

@Gary James has explained this previously either in talks, in print or on here.

So you are saying they where both played at Hyde Road ?

Just behind where I sit on level 2. Personally I think it looks very good, will stick to my seat though.

Don’t like the name with the old Ardwick AFC badge on the door.

It does my head in how the club don’t understand:
St Marks became Gorton AFC (and they weren’t the same thing unlike what the club think!)
Gorton AFC became Ardwick AFC
But Ardwick AFC did not become Manchester City!

Manchester City were founded on 16th April 1894 while Ardwick AFC were still a club. City were founded as a club with no forerunners at all, while some people involved in the formation of City were involved in either St Marks, Gorton AFC or Ardwick AFC (or all three), we were a club made from scratch.

lol, tenuous, but I can’t see any complaints

Good of the club to do this. Space wasn't being used for anything. Might as well use it to make cash.

Some replies on here complaining that it's not free or it costs £6 a pint. If that's the case, don't go. Go to Mary D's or somewhere.

I’m alright jack

I don’t think anyone has said it should be free. And most if not the majority won’t be going as it’s mainly for corporates.

If you can’t see why people don’t like this/ aren’t bothered by it then I’m sure you can afford it.

Lots of fans in general already feel alienated by clubs. Tunnel club, ever increasing corporate sections and a club at times completely out of sync with its core fans base don’t help. Things like this are another example of that. It’s all about rinsing the fans and catering to corporates

 

[Wilmslow Road]

I just don't get. People getting giddy, lets call it this lets call it that. Will they be selling this will they be selling that.
The only thing they are selling is the Soul of the Club.
Lets just make the whole ground corporate and put an end to it.

 

[Radcliffe 1309]

You know when I went on the spurs forum about their stadium there wasn't a load of moaning bastards banging on about prices and names and whatever.

I like it. I like the club did it, I like that it makes money (even if it is off the fans) that go to the club.

Well said ! FFS accept its football 2019 move on .....

 

[M18CTID]

So can any season ticket holder rock up or not? I fancy a bit of sink pissing tomorrow

It’s filing in a corner and adding 100 seats not taking away seats. Don’t see the issue at all. City don’t rinse the fans at all. If you don’t want to go to it don’t go.

don’t think it’s an extra 100 seats as I don’t think there are any windows

Trust me - it’s an extra 100 seats.

We’ve lost disabled seats though it seems. I sat there a few times

Not since the expansion you haven’t. It’s an extra 100 seats. Tomorrow could be our record ever crowd at the Etihad.
