Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

i hope your right

We averaged 47000 when the capacity was 47000 so i'm more than confident we'll average 50000plus in a 54000 capacity ground.

I think we'll average 50,000 for league games mate but i think the club wants to be the best in ALL aspects. If we sign pogba, sterling, de bruyne and a couple of others this summer then demand will be high! Next year when pep comes and maybe 2 more world stars a season after then there is no reason if prices stay good to fill the stadium on a regular basis! Especially when the collar site is finalised and hotel's etc start being built then hospitality will be a huge money spinner for city and the CFG.

Went to the stadium yesterday to take some mates to have a look at what they'd done, one a Grimsby fan couldn't believe the training stadium, it's the first time I've seen it through glass, Jesus those kids are spoiled what a place to grow up and play football. The south stand doesn't look like it will be done in 4 weeks there seems loads to do but I guess it will be.

When you're in there the grass seems almost too green and there is no litter. Its all a bit too perfect. ;-)

The one in the visitors toilet was a wanna-be Dyson, very poor. And there was no mirror in there either and you know the problem I have with my hair!

not sure this is true tbh,we all get giddy when we are linked with new signings etc but when it all cools down and the season begins there will be times when we wont even get 50,000 especially when SKY shaft us with a wank KO time against a team from the south who bring a poor away support.Id love to see a 61,000 seater stadium just dont think we will fill it? thats just my opinion,the men itk at city will know how much demand there is!! we are growing as a club in all ways so maybe in years to come!! they would have built it along with this expansion if the demand was there today.

I think you'll find EVERY league game next season will be 50,000 plus pal.

It doesn't matter if we fill it at 54000 or 61000, as its all increased revenue for the club, and that is bottom line regards FFP. I'm pretty sure there won't be any empty seats at all in the new level 3, as they were priced to fill them. We'll average over 52000 this year, despite some poor away turnouts, and it will be our best ever.
