City to expand Etihad to 62,000?

[richards30]

I dont see the point expanding anymore.
The ammount of empty seats on wednesday was embarrassing

FFS for the millionth time that is already sold seats with the ticket holders not turning up! Sad granted but them seats are sold!

I prefer to sit in a full or nearly full stadium. The atmosphere is so much better. And there are very few games when fans cannot get a ticket. The stadium capacity is about right as it is.

Mid week games (especially rearranged ones) can be a struggle for some season ticket holders, especially those travelling long distances or with work commitments.

Plus, there was a train strike on.

There should be rewards & penalities for people who have season tickets & do/don't use their seat imo. Especially in the prime locations.

It could easily be done, if the club wasn't so desperate to claw every cent out of ST holders.

Plus, with the season over some just couldn’t be arsed, it’s their prerogative.

It is, but in that case, it's a sad state of affairs, with a team like this one, that folks can't be arsed supporting it for the last game.

I think they need to sort out how quickly we can get in the stadium, first. Absolute nightmare, and a big reason for the 'Emptyhad' myth (even though Wednesday was awful).

Please expand.
What ideas do you have for 'rewards & penalties' for people who don't use their seat?

Same as with the 'loyalty points'. If you turn up, you get your seat cheaper, if you miss loads of games, you pay more. If you miss absolutely loads of games & are in the lower tier, you risk someone who does turn up, in the upper tier, getting your position.

We should be filling the lower tier, every week. With the most regular match going fans, not trying to milk money out of it.

So what happens if you are ill or have serious family issues or cannot make the game due to a revised or changed kick off date or time?
Just punish them anyway?
