Perhaps when there's proper car parking at the North End that allows quicker flow of cars and pedestrians, people might not need to rush out as much at the end if the game, even with 6 to 8k more fans.That was my main point expanding the ground when the current roads and infrastructure is not good enough for the current capacity is not a great idea . Any expansion needs to also include proper transport and road solutions as part of it
Particularly mid week games
You must be too young to have gone to Maine road. Having the away fans next to us used to generate the atmosphere in the kippax that’s why all singers didn’t go down to the other end of the kippax they went next to the away fans for the ding dong of songs and banter and to chuck the odd coin.

Used to stand in that corner of the Kippax, and eventually started songs off. Same in the NS at MR. Sat in block R, right next to the away fans.
Liverpool, United, Spurs (their new stadium), Newcastle, and a host of other clubs don’t have their singing sections or home ends next to the away fans, and they still manage create an atmosphere. It’s not only about creating an atmosphere, but creating a large home end behind one of the goals. As it is the SS is split up via 3 levels of home fans, 3 levels of away fans, a corporate block, and restaurant, etc. That isn’t a home end, and bar the big games, that stadium layout doesn’t create an atmosphere.
No offence. This isn’t directed at you, as you have every right to questions things, but I honestly don’t see a problem with creating a ‘dedicated home end’ for Manchester City fans at the Etihad, where up to 12,000-15,000 City fans can stand and sit together, and can create a better atmosphere inside the stadium. I honestly can’t understand why anybody would question that, the need for it, and be against it.
Took some screen grabs of the survey. Will post them later on.
Evening Kick Offs? No use going by train then.Perhaps when there's proper car parking at the North End that allows quicker flow of cars and pedestrians, people might not need to rush out as much at the end if the game, even with 6 to 8k more fans.
Plus with better choices to stay at the ground, to eat/drink in a warm and dry building, then maybe an extra line won't be required.

Metrolink will improve atmosphere ?
People literally running into oncoming traffic
I don’t disagree it sounds great, I object because my season tickets are in the family stand and they are great seats!!!!
Bring Metrolink right into the ground why don't we? That'll help! Not that's never been tried before.... (waiting for Gary James to point out the railway siding that ran in front of a stand at the corner of the old Hyde Road back in the day) ha ha!Metrolink will improve atmosphere ?

They can't, its against PL rules, united claim they are pitchside, newcastle were given a dispensation on grounds of safety.In the comment section at the end I told them to put away supporters in the gods so you don't see them on tv
