Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Heard at the weekend that the North Stand development is on hold. Club want to be assured that we can fill it and will monitor attendances next season.

Where did you hear that the North Stand is on hold and that the club want to monitor attendances. It seems very strange that the club need to be assured about attendances when they already know we are getting 54,000+ averages and season tickets are selling out so quickly.
 
Was this from someone at the club?

It’s disappointing if true as Khaldoon was only a month and a half ago talking about it being in the works during his end of season interview.

Maybe we’ve seen what Tottenham have built with the new one tiered stand and want a complete re-think on the build.

Yes, apparently they received a memo last week about it.

They may also want more time in terms of Family Stand relocation. From the 20/21 season the bottom tier will no longer be an official part of the Family Stand area.

has that been confirmed?

The Family Stand bit was in the City Matters minutes:

“The Club reference the fact that over time the family area has grown to include a wider mix of age ranges due to Seasoncard renewals. The requirement for adults to be accompanied by at least one supporter under the age of 18 hasn’t been enforced for a number of seasons as availability in other areas of the stadium is limited. The Club suggests that it would like to ensure that Level 2 seating in the North Stand is focused on families and that those fans who no longer qualify are asked to relocate ahead of the 2020/21 season. Level 1 of the North Stand would officially revert to an area available for all supporters to purchase Seasoncards or match tickets from the start of the 2020/21 season. This is welcomed by the fan representatives.”
