Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

But as before, existing City fans would snap up those £20 safe standing seats first. The club will offer those £20 safe standing seats to existing season ticket holdersfirst. Just like they did with the £299 SSL3 season tickets.

And if City offered those safe standing seats out to new City fans, there's absolutely no guarantee they would be singers.

And a large % of current Season ticket holders would complain about missing out on those safestanding seats at the expense of new City fans.

TBH it's a f***ing nightmare for the club.

How does the club fill a 500 safe standing section with City fans who want to sing?

Here's 1 ideaof many.

I doubt very much the club will consider it.

Once a new safe standing is confirmed at the Etihad, the club via the OS starts taking names and season card details of fans who want to sing, support the team, and want to move into a 'new and dedicated singing section'. No block location or prices are revealed until 500 seats and places have been secured. Then details are released. Then those 500 fans have a 1st option to secure their place or to change their minds. Those on any waiting list can be offered any seats that become available.

Yes.

United are applying for up to install up to 1,500 seats in the north-east quadrant corner between the North stand and the K-Stand. A bit like Celtic have done at Celtic Park.

If we did something similar on level 1, it could be as wide as blocks 110/111/the away section/114/115.

Ideally I rather City made the whole of the NSL1 safe standing.

Obviously that would mean moving the Family stand, which exists only in name now, as it's open to anyone, to another part of the stadium.

Whether City are prepared to do that is questionable.

But City have to find some way of accommodating safe standing. And make it large enough for it to have an impact and to improve the atmosphere at the Etihad.

Would be timely for the club to give the fans an update regarding the NS expansion (given LFC are starting work by the end of the year).

The "we cant say boo to a goose because of an NDA" stand has a certain ring to it.

Same for the arena, pesky NDAs. I'd imagine after the consultation period it will be wham bam and on we go with a quick start.

If they move the singing section to the North Stand where will the away fans be?

They won't be going anywhere. They will be staying there. Perfect location for the away fans and the away coach park. No need for the away fans to walk around the stadium and mix with City fans.

Yes, there seems to be a lot building up, and a lot being held back until the time is right to make public announcements.

No, a percentage of the away support has to be pitch side now.

United and Newcastle have special dispensation to keep away fans where they currently are.

Re the positioning of rail seating, wasn't there a few options given in the survey they did a couple of years ago?
