Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

[City & Blue Brazil]

Still the same crap old concourse on EL3 despite highest season ticker prices apart from corporate, good job the football on the pitch makes it worthwhile but all this talk about the great stadium and improvements doesn't half piss me off.

What have they done to the bars in 241, they take out the busiest bar and now the rest are rammed so much your struggling to walk through and in the heat today what should be the coolest in the shade is horrendous, forget about the free water top ups, you’ll pass out before you get served.

Good job the football team is fucking brilliant, there would be riots.

It's absolutely disgraceful what they've done there without any consultation and I don't see it improving any time soon. Yet they've renovated the south stand concourse area so those that are paying half the price will be getting a much better experience.

Anyone in Kits today, if so what was it like?

City have only done it because it's a wasted space/void. It now makes money.

We've been asking for it to be used for more bar space for years.

As for what we're paying, it's relative to where we stand and our view of the match.

You pay more because you sit high up and get a better view of the match.

Don't blame us for the club investing in SSL1.

I don't mind the club renovating the South Stand concourse just making the point that it seems unfair that other parts of the stadium have had their bars and entertainment taken away with no prior warning. If you'd seen the scenes at 241/242 today you'd understand what I mean. Shambles doesn't even come close to describing it.

Maybe you should send an email to Danny Wilson, explain your experience, frustration, and concern, and ask him if it can be looked at and addressed. And ask him if there are any future plans to invest in the concourse where you drink and eat.

That’s where I am in 242. The concourse, or lack of, is truly awful. An overcrowded bottleneck.

Depends how it’s done. I’d imagine it would be more like city square/ cheese fest.

What was it like in there today?

i didnot get in but I suspect it will be cheesy

Thanks for your insights JRB, I can only reinforce the concerns above in regard to 241/242. We sit in 201 where the concessions have been removed to facilitate a corporate bar, which means that the nearest bar and food are from 241 and further away behind the goal. My personal experience was that I queued for 35 minutes from 2.15 onwards. Finally it was obvious we would not get served with either drink or food. I do know Danny quite well and I will be transmitting this to him, any others who had problems, there were a lot, please let me know and I can reflect their views.
