Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[stony]

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

I cannot yet start a thread (Mods say a minimum of 100 posts) so I may occasionally post seemingly unnecessarily, this is merely to get me to that century of posts.

I think you'll find that's the quickest way to get your posts deleted. You'll never get to 100 if you go down that road.

Thanks for that advice.
It was a tongue in cheek remark which I am sure the Mods understand but nevertheless I will take note of your post.

I am mindful that I do not want to post outside the threads topic (without incurring the Mod Police displeasure) so I find myself frustrated by both restrictions.

I'm sure there are very good historical reasons for this 100 post restriction but I cannot think of a single one if the Mods have the power you suggest.

it's to stop Rags invading at 3am and fucking up the forum, as I'm sure there are, albeit rare times, where there are no mods on, or maybe just one who could be overloaded if dozens of Rags suddenly showed up spamming the forum.

Alternatively a small donation to the Hinch retirement fund, could ensure I PM you 100 posts

Calling them the Mod Police is likely to get their attention too... ;)

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Thanks for the background on the 100 post rule however, my experience on other Forums both in UK and abroad is that Mods are not as sensitive as you may suggest. I think policing any Forum calls for people who not only have the time but also the personality to guide naive members like myself into the culture they want represented on their Forum.
In fact a similar temperament to any older MCFC supporter.

My first impression is that members seem to be able to say what they want using whatever type of language they wish as long as they stay on topic.

As a lifelong MCFC supporter (now in my middle 70's) I would hope that the Mods have retained a sense of humour because that was the only weapon that we had against other Teams during our dark days.

Guessing here, but I'm thinking City will offer a sliding scale advertising plan to businesses next season.(advertising boards on level 1 and level 2)

A bit like season tickets. Prime location more expensive. Out of the way, cheaper. But something smaller(UK or local) businesses could afford.

The new bridge linking the stadium and training academy is also going to feature advertising. It's in the planning application and the details have already been posted.

I don't think that's a recent photo is it ?

However you seem to have reproduced exactly the type of sartorial style that got me ejected from a recent Hip Hop Party in Huddersfield recently.

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Some bloke trying to get to 100 post and doesent mind which thread he de-rails to get there.

OHh and he`s trying to attract the mods attention along the way.

Pretty much sums it up :}...........

What's happened to this thread?

I don't live locally so like most on this thread we are waiting for a progress report from those who can tell us whats going on with the crane etc..

Is there any percentage in getting a webcam attached to the crane or perhaps via a video drone to allow us to follow its progress ?

The mods on here are pretty good, in fact compared to forums like RAWK they are excellent. They let people get on with it and as long as you follow the code of conduct you won't get any trouble.
You'd be amazed at the amount of trolls we get on here masquerading as city fans. Most of them are caught in post moderation before anyone actually sees the drivel they have written, A few slip through and the 100 post rule usually weeds them out before they can do any damage.
You may not have noticed, but your first five posts had to be approved by a moderator before they appeared on the board.
