Is this legit then @worsleyweb ?

We are in negotiation with Laing?

Any idea when it would be started?

How did you cope with matches at Maine Road then?

Not sure! managed it from 1959 to 2003, where there's a will and all that

 

[Why Always Ste]

I don't understand why anyone will have anxieties about empty seats because some of their so called raggy mates on twitter spend more time concerned with spotting empty seats in our ground than they do with noticing empty spaces in their clubs defence.

Big clubs such as Barcelona/Juventus have shitloads of empty seats at their home games, but will sell out for big games.
This is the direction we will be going in. Build the seats, reasonably price them and people will come.

Sure we'll have plenty of empty seats when we play in early round League Cup fixtures, but that's just the way it is.

It isn't a coincidence why City are specifically targetting the young demographic fanbase.

There is some punctuation missing from that post. Not that obsessive or compulsive then. Give yourself a slap! ;-)

I cant see it Steve - think we got 54,300 v Chelsea - add 300 or so seats that are still frustratingly still not in around the Service Tunnel and maybe an extra 300 corporate seats not sold and I still don't think we will hit 55k. Just don't think it quite holds it - will be interesting to see how many we get vs the Rags.

Any idea when those seats by the Service Tunnel will be available? They're not showing on the planner for Newcastle or Bournemouth.

Fanchester, the empties in cb are roughly similar to east stand except for juve there were more missing in the UEFA family seats in east stand than in director's box and corporate area in cb.
Noticed that the worst areas for Watford and West Ham were 93:20 and joes on both sides.
They will have problems selling these at the moment for the less glamorous games.

For the op the myth of empty seats is more to do with the fact that the away end was visible behind the goal which might not always be full, same for family stand in midweek games. Seats at the swamp match the shirt colour better than it does at the cathedral of footballing excellence and their empties tend to be at the back of the stand which is not very well lit for TV.

Their seats are also crammed in at the swamp, so it's more like a chicken farm, or a sheep pen, hence it's more difficult to spot the empty spaces, due to the the close proximity of various sheep/chickens obscuring them.
