Moving Away Fans / SSL3 /2 All City Fans.

Not going to happen.
If the away club don't sell out then not giving them the 3rd tier makes things much easier for everyone and that then wouldn't be possible.
Spreading them out more also makes it harder for them to create an atmosphere.

As opposed to not giving them individual blocks?

It actually makes it easier, as hundreds of seats don’t remain empty in the 1000+ capacity part filled ESL3 away end.

I’m guessing City fill the away end on SSL1 first, then SSL2, and SSL3 last, because PL rules state away fans have to be pitch side, bar United and Newcastle.

Why do the rags and Geordies get away with it?

United have part of their disabled section under the away fans. And with Newcastle, it’s the size of the stand, and keeping home and away fans apart. The stand is too big in height and split up internally to put away fans from the top to pitch side.

Liverpool were going to split away fans over 2 tiers when they redeveloped the Anfield Road stand. CGI’s showed that. Then Liverpool changed their mind and decided to keep the away fans on the L1 corner.

Here.

A reduced L1 away end, and away fans on the new L2. Liverpool changed their minds.

That was a very clever move by Liverpool. City’s away end would have been a lot louder at Anfield if that had happened.

Neither of those things should matter. Both clubs should be told to move away fans pitchside in any of the other stands. At the swamp we could go in the Main Stand and at St James’ in that little stand at the side. Talk about tail wagging the dog!

First 5 or 6 rows of their upper Anfield Rd are some type of corporate, everyone leaves at HT for nose bag.
 
The Gist -:

1) Create 2 City ends, SS & NS

2) Make SSL3/2 exclusively City

3) Relocate away fans to ESL110/111 + SSL113 around the corner flag....shit acoustics/views

4) No compromise of exisiting security protocols. Several are enhanced.

5) Negliable CapEx

6) Improved atmosphere & stadium identity

7) Increased stadium capacity

8) Increased revenue in Legends

9) City fans above but close to away fans

10) Happy old GFAB.

Feel free to sdd.

I think you'll find it does matter, hence why United and Newcastle get special dispensation from the PL to do that.

Disabled people have to be catered for. That's where United's disabled section is.

As for Newcastle, I would assume it is physically impossible to have the away fans from top to pitch side in the stand. Not to mention possible trouble occuring between both sets of fans. That would be a PL, Council/H&S, and Police concern.

I'm sure when United and Newcastle build new stadiums, away fans will have to be pitch side in those plans.

Just accept it and move on

Not so.

Under such cirmcumstances sell ESL111 first,110 next & if they cant sell SSL113 give it to City.

All segergation protocols can be maintained irrespective of only 1,2 or all three blocks selling.

Are there enough seats in 110,111 & 113 to give them the 3,000 we’d be required to give?

No, it's like our SSL3. Away fans have their own entrances, and there is segregation at the top.

Saying that, home and away fans do cross over and mix as they make there way to the away end under the stand. It can get a bit boisterous, and has kicked off on occasions. There are plenty of Police and stewards around. Its a bit like United's forecourt, but under the stand.
