Away fans / tourists in home sections

[bluesmith]

That is true. But we're talking about City. That seat isn't going to remain empty on a match day, even though Dodge is still paying for it. There will be more investigations and season ticket suspensions after today, and empty seats.

I agree pal, it was me who suggested City would do that. I was pointing out though that we don't know and dodge hadn't said that. I think that's important considering he's currently going through his 'procedure' and I didn't want the club to states he'd said something he hadn't- we know they'll be reading and laughing and making notes!

The Spanish Armada?

Nobody would expect that!!

Fair enough. It's just my opinion as well. And nothing to do with Dodge and what he posted.

Club need to seriously look at ticketing asap. Every week theres away fans all over the stadium. Today it spilled over all over the ground and is posing a serious safety concern for all.

I don't blame the loan girl but why did it take 40 mins to summon enough stewards ?

Was she doing credit checks?

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I have an immediate ban, based on the allegation.

If proved, I will be banned.

Therefore, the consequences of the alleged criminal conduct are the same, guilty or not.

So, doesn't say I'm guilty? Yes it fucking does.

Hope you get it sorted mate.

The police were busy taking the banner off fans asking the club to stop ripping off fans, now I am not saying the police are just corporate shills but...

As me and @Tim of the Oak can control who takes up the seat, probably for the rest of the season, we'll find out.

I might be wrong pal, but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

These suspensions are a right little earner for the Club (allegedly).

I know of 3 others, one of whom is still awaiting a Court date from the dipper home game LAST season.

 

[Dodge]

Hope you get it sorted mate.

Cheers Dave, it's a shit situation and a bit embarrassing, but I'm actually looking forward to my day in Court.

 

[Axel Freed]

Good point. It''ll be interesting to see how many season tickets will be available for the new stand. Not too many I imagine.

Who’d fucking want one.

Paying through the nose to feel unwelcome at the club you’ve spent your whole life loving.

That ship has sailed for me, I won’t be going back

 

[franksinatra]

Can you imagine what it is going to be like with a 400+ room hotel to fill behind the new 'home end'.

We haven't seen anything yet.

I made this point to my mate today. Anyone buying a hotel room/weekend package etc is not then going to be told they cannot sit in the North stand as this is for our ‘hardcore support’ and get sent trundling round to the south stand. They be whisked into the North stand from their room, will have the best seats, with the best facilities surrounded by other corporates.

The North stand will never be a real end and it will only dilute our supporter base more throughout the stadium, making nights like Madrid more commercialised. Personally I am dreading when it’s built.

I might be dramatic and over reacting, but I don't think about what the North stand could have been and will be anymore. I've gone past that. I will stay where I am in the South stand, let other City fans move to the North stand, and make up their own minds about it.

Trying to be positive about it. The facilities, bars, food outlets, and restaurants will be some of the best in the PL.

Good luck Dodge.

Keep us updated mate, if you can?

I'm sure the club will bundle a hotel room and match tickets together. £250-£300+, depending on the hotel room and match. £75 for each ticket, and £150 for a hotel room for 2 people on average, bar the really expensive hotel rooms, and the hotel rooms with balconies at the back of NSL2. Dear God! :-(

 

[SouthStander12]

Serious change of direction is needed from the club. The most disconnected I’ve felt to the club, and seriously considering packing it in. We really have lost our identity. A huge sense of guilt saying that, after generations having had STs.

Sadly, it's the theme throughout the thread.

It will no doubt be packaged as an ‘experience’, sold to the highest bidder and on Champs lge night the new North stand might as well be known as the ‘away’ end. It’s a stand built for maximising profit. The South stand extension was for City fans, cheap, undecorated, wet slippy floors, with few facilities.

Yep, the threads very telling of many blues feelings. I just don’t see the club wanting/knowing how to solve this one. I can sadly only see it getting worse
