When the club decided to give an entire stand to families they were knocked by many. The truth is they were thinking of the future. If only a third of those little Blues and their own kids are going in 25 years time it has paid off. No doubt many more than a third will be going and they will need somewhere to sit.
With the expansion, the club are thinking ahead in a similiar fashion. I don't care what the Rags or the media say now or next year and i could not give two fucks if it is 'empty'. The club are thinking ahead, the Rags and the media can't even think.

"South Stand vornitory question"
Directly under the "Etihad Stadium" sign in the photo below, there is a vomitory surrounded by seats and obviously not being used anymore. The gang ways have been moved a couple of metres each side. Are the club going to remove and fill this vomitory in? Also the gang ways either side lead directly to the top of this section were the exit points are, leading to a resturaunt/lounnge/bar. is this a special members section? and if so why at the south end not the north?

The exit will still be used for cup games where the away fans take up the full 2nd and 3rd tiers.
The South Stand has always had the Legends Lounge there. The opposite side has executive boxes.
Well that's obviously bollocks isn't it. The club isn't going to spend £100m on the stadium expansion if it sells out once, or even once a season. It has to be financially viable.
It's not a question of whether it's financially viable, more whether there is demand. If it was down to finance alone, then none of the extensions would get built as you could get a much bigger return by investing the money elsewhere. If you work out how long it takes to recover the costs from 6,000 empty seats it would be decades.
The midweek European games are poor, but the measure we should be using are the league attendances. Once again, Bournemouth will be full at the weekend. And if the European games tell us anyhing it's that we need a bigger ground so that we can get more local support so that when the seasoncard holders don't turn up for midweek games, the locals can fill their empty seats.
Did not want to open a new thread so forgive me for posting on here.
I was wondering - when we play Spurs away in early Oct. will we play at Wembley or WHL;
If WHL what will be their current capacity?
In the past they seem to average just below 36,000
Thanks
