So that's what he does when he isn't writing shit articles about City in his newspaper column.

To be fair he probably knows more about football than crooks

Us as in MCFC? No. The CFG put up half the build costs so have a half share (presumably).

Yeah us as in City, not Bluemoon, although I know Ric is minted

There are 4 x Coldplay converts already booked in for Summer 2023 so there is absolutely no chance building work is starting in 2023. Maybe Summer 2024.

The saddest part of this is that Pep Haaland De Bruyne will probably all be gone by the time any new stand is finished.

As mentioned earlier in this thread - this should have been done at the same time as the South Stand.

yep, the period of standard and football from the pep era should have seen the north stand done well before now and like you say the likes of Pep, KDB, Gundogan, Laporte could or will be gone? Plus even Haaland if its in 3 years may have gone if the release clauses get activated?

I see it differently. It’s hard to get tickets for away games but it’s easy enough at home, even easier these days as most teams return loads. If people are that keen to see and respect Pep and the team why is the ground half empty on the final whistle, and by the time the last player comes off there’s barely 5k in the stadium. Personally I’m an FOC and I can’t get enough of it, not sure there’s that many been missing out. Just a different view pal. By the way Haaland looked like he was loving it after the Dortmund game, walked right up to 3 sides of the ground smiling and applauding the fans, but I doubt there were even 5k in the ground by that time.

The club, stewards and police want the fans moving as quick as possible, is my view, and with one over-used tram station it doesn't help. I'd like to think that the new arena will give people a reason to stick around for a bit after the game and not need to rush off, maybe get a pint somewhere, but I think mixing with concert crowds will just mean nothing will change. We'll see.

There may be a drop in crowds with the new parking restrictions proposed.

The only time we’ve ever been moved on by a steward after a game was Villa last game of last season, my eldest insists on not going til we’ve clapped the last player off and Ilkay was on the pitch for ages, we were literally the last people in the family stand tier 2. I think people leave early because they obviously have very important lives
