Used for the annual anniversary convention for those of you who celebrate the trip to York away. Rumour is the organisers are looking for a bigger venue.

Didn't realise it held 250k

The indoor section could be brilliant if they get it right.

Chance to get to the ground have a drink, build the atmosphere without getting piss wet through.

They’ve been converted to Rugby pitches now mate

The indoor athletics always looked very popular aswell. Be a shame if that’s gone and not been replaced. Went to a couple of my kids school sports day there and they loved it.

There are loads of buses after the game on Ashton Road. £2 into Piccadilly. You may have to queue but no more than 10 minutes ever. If it is lashing down I have jumped on a few times this season.

Thought they were free after the game nowadays?

It’s used by 3,500,000 people a year according to some posts on this thread.

( which it obviously isn’t )

I think you're mistaking it for York away.

I am genuinely shocked, I thought that was quite fair.

Champions league tickets for £5, low ticket prices, cant fill the stadium.

More lies

£5 champions league tickets, low tickets prices is utter bollocks. We have some of the dearest tickets in the league and sell out every game.

The only bit which was fair is that we have a more working class fan base.

I don't think he meant in the knock out phase to be fair and the tickets are cheaper in the the league part of the Champions League. You are right though the ticket prices for the knockout stage are dear.

Took my kids to every champions league home game we have played at home and not once did I get their tickets for a fiver. The first time we played Barcelona I paid £98 for 1 adult and 2 juniors in the North Stand and we were all in the cup scheme

He never mentioned cheaper tickets in the champions league, He said 'Manchester City Have low ticket prices' he used that as reason we have had sell outs. And i don't remember any Champions league game costing £5 for a kids tickets.

Did he need to say "People mock the club for not being able to fill the stadium and for the empty seats?"

A little bit of praise added to the usual jibes is no praise at all.

More importantly, when do we get to hear if it's Holt Bitter or Robinsons Unicorn on handpump in the new North Stand ?

Im hoping Holts. Best bitter in britain. And for a bit of nostalgia the arse stench produced will remind us of the greenalls induced stink of maine road
