I can see that they had around 27k last year reportedly with 70k on the waiting list. The 1000 to be issued for the extended Anfield Road end won't make much of a dent in that.

I reckon our proportion of SC holders will be much closer by the time the extended NS opens.

Doubt it ,aren't there 39000 now, even if there were only 1000 in the new stand, and I think myself it will be more like 3 or 4000, it would still be at about 66% S/C holders.

No new Gold SCs were sold last year or this and I'm sure none will be sold next summer either. Nobody knows the exact number of SC holders (not even CM reps) but it was thought there were around 40k at one point. There will be two years of non renewals off whatever total it was currently plus next year's non renewals and I can see that a nominal number of additional ones will be sold when the extended NS opens.

Only my opinion but I'd say the evidence is very clear that SC numbers are being drastically reduced by the club in order to gain additional turnover.

In that case there will be empty seats when the NS is open and the Etihad is expanded. City aren’t going to shift an extra circa 7000
tickets at match day ticket prices, especially when there will be 2 more season match day ticket price increases before the expanded NS opens. City will be hitting the £100 match day ticket soon for the top five games.

I don’t think it will be the case and expect it to be about 50/50myself,Or hope it will and those 3000 matchday tickets are all kept together with no relocations over the years.
Think shifting 3000 more matchday would be very easy, a lot of us are struggling to get tickets with another scamble expected for the remaing ones this month.

Corporate will expand down the sides imo and SC holders like me will be punted into the North Stand. We’re all expecting to be shafted eventually

After our relegation, those prices will hurt...

Saw him in Vegas a good few years ago, he was pushing his latest album 'Here at the Mayflower' of which I knew none of the songs. He had gone through so much plastic surgery he looked like he was stood in a wind tunnel. His singing was dreadful and there was a constant clicking noise as he was sucking a throat pastille. One of the usherettes was coming along our row asking people if they wanted to locate nearer the front as the venue was barely half full (same showroom that Elvis was resident at for ages), I said no thank you as where I was was closer to the exit.

Never again.

City know exactly what the demand is for games and more importantly what supporters are willing to pay. They have the data from every game to evidence demand.

You mention £100 a match day ticket - there are loads being sold for far more than that at the moment disguised as semi corporate cause you get a bite to eat at the Academy or Vermillion or Goucho. The ticket element of these packages is miles over £100 - for a seat that can be anywhere.

I don’t imagine there will be many new season cards issued - if any.

They will want match day income to get much closer to the levels of Utd and Spurs and that’s impossible with so many seasoncard holders and then adding even more.
