Haha 5 years of work and anything from 500 million to a billion pounds spent, and they are just using old and current lines. Someone is going to make a good butty out of this job.It will use former (or current?) railway lines. It ain’t going down the A6.
There’s always someone who will moan about anything!
Anyone now think the club are probably now right to not expand the North Stand?
Sure we’d fill it for most weekend league games but we do struggle when we have midweek cup games and too many of these can even impact the weekend crowds as we saw against Fulham.
Not really if they priced it right, the Port Vale game shows there are people who will attend when it’s done correctly. We have a waiting list for season tickets which if City priced them like the ones in the south stand when it opened would vanish pretty quickly. If you look at our premier league games for the rest of the season the tickets are selling and you would struggle to find two seats together for the nearer games and that’s at £50 quid to watch teams like Burnley. If they sold the upper tier tickets at £10-15 cheaper in an expanded stadium they would easily shift.
People need to stop being mard arsed about what the bbc and some socially awkward virgin internet trolls who have never been near Old Trafford or Anfield think. We have the 13th highest average attendances in Europe. The Nou camp and Bernabau are empty on champions league group stage matches and really at full capacity when it’s el Classico. Look at the two Milan clubs, their attendances are pitiful for the size of their city and stature of the clubs. A few more seasons like this and the rag day tripper fans will abandon them, they couldn’t sell out a derby when they have 650 million fans apparently.
No. The Fulham Cup game was live on BBC against an opponent who brought a small following. The trend in crowds is still upwards but if we wait until every game is sold out we will wait a very long time to expand the stadium. We need a bigger stadium to expand the match-going fan-base.Anyone now think the club are probably now right to not expand the North Stand?

United priced well, as was Fulham.

That's correct but also people had 3 games to chose from , I doubt Fulham would have sold out however it was priced people chose from those 3 games on other criterion otherwise the cheaper Fulham game would have sold out not the more expensive champions league game. I chose Fulham not based on price but because I travel for games and it was the weekend game, I'd have preffered to make the semi or, the c/l.It’s the end of the month in January where people have had to pay for Christmas and then stretch money till pay day at the end of this week. How much money have you got left in your bank account. Port Vale sold well when people had money, do you think our support all have £60k a year salaries or something?
