As some have already posted, *the away fans cannot be moved.*
The club won't do it. The Police won't allow it. Neither will the Council.
Easy access in and out of the stadium for the away fans. Next to the away coach park.
Forget it. Please stop suggesting that. It won't happen.
Likewise.
The club will not allow a sininging section in the SS 3rd tier.
The reasons are obvious.
That is a seating area. It is too steep. The seats and the back of the seats are too low down. H&S. Etc.
Ultimately the problem is this........
Regardless of how many threads are created on this topic. Regardless of how often we discuss it. Regardless of all the (good) suggestions we come up with! The club and those running it will only sanction and do what they want to do. And to be honest, the club isn't doing anything. In-fact the club are doing more.
Just for example.
We still have the videos pre-match.(we've probably got one of the best media teams in the PL)
We still have the pre-match entertainment team. Or whatever they are called.
We still have the slow, then the quick Blue Moon tune, pre-match
Etc.
We have asked for these things to be changed, or at least toned down on numerous occasions, but they are still there.
The club see these things and the other things like them as part of the *matchday experience*. Like the young Ladies outside the main Stand entrance with the City embossed picture's frames, you can hold up in-front of you, and then have your picture taken. Etc.
The club look at the bigger picture. What they see on a matchday for the fans V's a few complaining posters on a BM thread. Easy winner in the clubs eyes.
Nothing will change. There won't be any matchday changes. The current matchday programme off the pitch will continue next season, just like it did this season, last season, and the season's before that. We even had Ping Pong and a Volley Ball close to City Square this season. :-? Etc. City have a raft of employees and teams to come up with, and to implement the *matchday experience*.
This is how it is. And this is how it will stay. It's about getting the fans around the ground early. Getting the fans to make an Afternoon of it. And getting the fans to spend their money. The club don't want the fans to go straight in, straight to their seat, and then to go home. There is no money in that for the club. Fan+entertainment=revenue. A bit simplistic that.
Just wait when the Collar Site is developed into an entertainment centre. Wow!
"Ferran, can we shut City Square and all the bars earlier, to get the fans to there seats faster, to create a better atmosphere?"
Spot on that
