North Stand Construction Discussion

[Tim of the Oak]

What were people charged yesterday for the North Stand?

Most adults would have paid £51.

My mate described them as Notts Forest prices.

 

[jimharri]

£56 to sit at the very back.

Are binoculars and oxygen included?

Hopefully they will move us SS3 lot to that stand for cup games. I usually get shoved half way down SS1 which is shite

 

[Marvin.]

It’s something like 13k vs 17.5k (spurs)

I think the North Stand is around 15k

Has there ever been any talk of rounding the corners off to marry the stand up with the east and Collin bell stands?

Thank you City for delivering this tremendous stand. The fans in the North Stand were brill yesterday.

We have enough seats to bring back lapsed fans and to secure the next generation of Blues.

Agree Tim. It's now absolutely crucial that the club get the pricing right and get lapsed blues into the ground regularly.

This really could be something special

We definitely have to do the outside as well mate. It’s been left like a half finished building site for 20 odd years.

I’m sure they will get round to that , but ‘half finished building site ?’ That’s a bit harsh

No and there won’t be. The cable net comes in through the corners which blocks off any construction. The tiers are also at different rakes.

Any substantial expansion is a long long time away and may never happen. If they did want to do something more minor they could add an extra block at the north end to the CB and East stands like they did at the south end. They could potentially bring those front rows back which were replaced with big ad boards, or they could add some sort of retractable seats to the top of the access tunnel.

I think the Club are getting this right after initial mistakes with the flexis.

When I “overheard in a pub”’ and shared on here a couple of years ago that there would be lots more season cards around the ground, it felt we were going in the right direction. Obviously, the set up fees for foexis had to be addressed.

I’m glad 1894 and the OSC have got behind the need for us to have a strong North Stand and singers at both ends of the ground.

I agree with posters who say the marketing for the North Stand atmosphere end could be ramped up. The 1880 / 93:0 Blues can get it rocking.

Let’s hope they turn the whole top tier into standing. It’s what it needs, it would be incredible, preferably with young supporters being encouraged to take it up.

Surely he's got to be in before we call for his head?

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

including us, there is a big chunk of at least two rows moving to the NS for next season

Do you mean these gaps?

Hope they do the wind was bad on the test event and its May lol.

Gotta say sat in 015 yesterday the new stand full, looked fucking awesome. Very imposing and huge, get it bouncing and that will be some end.

 

[HelloCity]

Safe standing section.

About 1/3 were sat down overall.

I guess that’s due to random members buying tickets in a rush for Pep’s last game rather than members specifically trying to go in that area.
