North Stand Construction Discussion

In fairness re-reading your posts I see what you mean, but at first sight with that picture below it that's what it seemed to me too. A bit of a sigh at how 'fickle' the fanbase might be, rather than you giving praise for the volume of new City following. Maybe the picture is the unfortunate blur to it.

I can only speak for myself. I’m still getting used to the explosion in City’s new worldwide support.

It’s a far cry from the days when nobody knew City’s name.(arf!) ;-)

I’m looking forward to seeing the City fans and the match attendances during the US tour.

I'm very surprised at 1894's stance, this will be the last chance for a home end so let's take it, the cup games are embarrassing, loads of singers removed for the away fans, if the singers move to the North stand they remain there and not moved about.

1894 is based in SSL 115 lower though, there is little desire to move to the back of the top tier which is realistically where any new atmosphere based section would be located. There will be quite a lot currently in the north who don't want to move so any section would have to be in completely new seats.

Then there is also the fact that little seems to have been thought of by the club in terms of atmosphere.

Well CFG think so. How come you know different? Note: it was discussed here on BM by Stefan. Try a search.

So a search brings up the new company Medco. Which as yet we know nothing about and even if it where anything to do with fundraising I don’t see how that would constitute a IPO since it’s a separate new company and not public guess it could be a SPAC for an IPO but in any event nothing has been announced yet so your comment is wrong

Do you have to shoehorn 115 into everything?

I don’t resent it doesn’t bother me in the slightest but @jrb seemed to be suggesting that our fan base ( which to me means match going fans)now consisted mainly of people that will visit the united shop then visit ours which ii doesn’t. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.

Who cares to be honest, are they going to have a stropp and kick the cat around the house if we lose a game, probably no, but if they are in the shop buying for fun, the more the better.

Nice hole. This is about the fifth time you have done this: I give you some info and you just Pooh Pooh it without any reason. Are you stalking me?
If you can’t find the thread on here, that’s your fault. It’s there in black and white.

Mate your talking rubbish

I explain that i searched for the IPO and got the stuff related to Medco. We do not know this relates to fundraising let alone an IPO and even if it does indeed relate to that. That is not the same as it being common knowledge but not on the CFG website as you suggested. If there was concrete announcement or evidence etc of on IPO of city or CFG it would in the press and everyone myself included would know about it and you wouldn’t be posing rubbish comments about me on the matter rather you would just post a link to the mail times sun etc

Ok will not bother you again with info, so don’t bother to comment.
 
The only other comparison in the PL.

The 2 hotels at Stamford Briddge.

When Chelsea redevelop Stamford Bridge the 2 hotels will be demolished.

In the grand scheme of things ss1 block 115 is pretty irrelevant to the ground in terms of atmosphere. It’s a small block, which most of the ground can’t hear. Ss3 is the place for atmosphere now in my view.

The opportunity in north stand level 2 is a million times better than what we have in ss1. 7,000 fans all potentially stood up - there’s no contest.

I haven’t read that the 1894 group won’t move, but I think it would be daft not to take this chance. There is no room for growth or improving the noise in ss1, long term it’s all about the new stand.
 
I read in wonder. As a resident of Bournemouth these days, I recall Maine Road being very noisy,in good and bad ways, when I was a regular. I have only seen AFC Bournemouth a handful of times, in their tiny 12k capacity stadium, and last time I saw them lose at home to City the noise was deafening. It is a very basic stadium, so I can’t quite get my head around how increasing to 60k plus at the Etihad is going to do anything but make more noise. Please explain
 
As a group and as individuals I’m guessing like almost everyone else 1894 haven’t decided on moving to the North stand yet. Until we hear concrete information from the club about the North stand most people will probably thinking the same thing.

I don’t have a problem with info I have a problem with being lectured criticized and even mislead. I actually knew about Medco from the original comments ages ago but forgot and Cody or recall it as you talked of an IPO which may or may not be true and not Medco which is true

The amount of kids from all over the world, and from the UK, wearing City shirts, and doing the Etihad tour with their parents today was unreal.

My daughter doesn’t do Champions League games so her seat next to mine is usually taken up by someone from abroad one from Saudi came with his brother had been 5 times last season, another from the States was fulfilling a life long ambition, a Chinese lad at Manchester Uni was a regular! All we’re fighting from the Blue corner.
