Attendances

I think they already have that waiting list http://www.mcfc.co.uk/tickets/waiting-list

Another badly worded mail by myself. A waiting list which shows the demand is there to make it worth the cost and sustainable in the long term. My understanding is this does not have the £100 deposit???

If we got 10k on this waiting list, like the last one it definitely strengthens the argument for the extension
 
I would guess 7-8,000 paying the £100 to join the Waiting List will be the trigger point. We normally lose about 2,000 season ticket holders each Summer, which maybe slightly more in future, now we have over 42,000 (including premium seats). I'd imagine we'd want about 47-48,000 season ticket if we went to 60,000+. I think there's still about 2,500 left from the original list who specifically wanted the £299 tickets. I'd like to think we can hit the target during this season and start work this Summer. The following Summer is probably the more likely start point though given we've had a four year continuous construction programme with the CFA project preceding the South Stand expansion. The club may want sometime for snagging work and to consider the possible construction options (three tiers or huge second tier) for the North Stand and general pricing policy for the stadium as a whole. I'd be very surprised though if a start to the work on the North Stand was delayed beyond the Summer of 2017.
 
You have to remember city - a dug are about to start building 6000 homes in the city.

It will start not next summer but the summer after.
 
Sorry mate I am probably being a but dumb. So you think this is more likely to make it go ahead? And, if so, before, after or at the same time as the residential development.

No I think city have a lot on with 4 or 5 schemes in ancoats. Let them have a breather from the stadium for a bit. See if we fill the south stand - build up a bit of pent up demand. And go again!

All in good time.

That is how I see things. Lets ensure the demand is there and then build accordingly.
 
I'm going to make a prediction:-

By the Summer of 2018, as the North Stand expansion nears completion, the Waiting List will be longer than it was this Summer for the South Stand.

I think continued success and the atmosphere generated from regular 54,000+ gates will attract a whole new set of, mainly young, supporters.
 
success on the field will drive the demand - more premierships, a serious run on the Champions League - and then if we build it they will come (as someone once said)
