Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

not really up to date on everything are the away fans being moved ????

i hope so the whole south stand full of city fans would be great

That seems to be up for discussion.

3 options

I'd keep them where they are. Visiting fans are central to the atmosphere in the ground

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

The important thing for me is what should happen in cup-games when 1/4 of the ground is given to the away fans. I think they should stay where they are for league games, but half the East stand (3rd tier?) should be given over instead of the whole South Stand.
It's all very difficult for those who have to move though.

Nobody get's a 1/4 of the ground they get a Safe amount which has been 6,000 at ours, the Scum give 9,000, both far from a 1/4, a safe amount.

Its still 2.5 to 3 times more than they get for league games. So folks are going to have to move for those games.

It's double in our case for cup matches, still not 12,000 (1/4) though is it.

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Can anyone who has been to the ground and seen the exhibition advise:
1. Is there a 3D model of the ground showing the phased development?
2. Is it worth going down there? (in other words would I learn anymore than has been posted?)

I went today and it looks impressive but to answer your questions no there is no 3d model just drawings with the roof off and some with them on. I don't think you will learn anymore but there is the chance to put your ideas forward and a questionnaire to fill in. I hope this helps

Note the fate of the second tier seasoncard holders in the East and West Stands... :(
Interestingly no pictures of the stadium with the amended roof

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

Was in the Legends Lounge for the Supporters Club AGM this morning - a few photos from in and around that side of the ground - all pertinent to the South Stand being rebuilt

Well apart from this one - the one and only Mr Tony Book saying a few words!

This view is going to change MASSIVELY

Third tier sides to be extended on top of these

Took this one from inside Legends Lounge just for the purposes of Photoshopping later on :-)

Oh and then there was this one - plans for the enlarged Connell Suite under the main stand

Re: Etihad Campus & potential new stadium

I'm really pleased that the extension(s) are going to be that big tbh. I really thought they'd keep the roof as it is, so this news is fantastic.

Also very chuffed that they're going to charge £299 for season cards in there, as normal prices are just too much for me atm. I've got a value card this season but a bit disappointed that I'm down near the front corner of the family stand... Not complaining too much but would much rather be in the new SS extension and a bigger part of the atmosphere, so can't wait!

Thanks City.
