Is City getting the balance right?

The club would improve its image and attract more domestic and foreign fans if it bit the bullet and made big, radical even, changes to improve the atmosphere.

You mean changes that would get called “too American” here?

I've watched a few games in VR and it's hard not to see it taking off. Would be surprised if the club isn't offering virtual season tickets in the next few years.

Inevitable and seems City are at the forefront

Man City begin building world's first football stadium inside the metaverse

City hope to fill the virtual Etihad Stadium several times over, allowing fans to watch live games from anywhere in the world

Metaverse will change armchair viewing for UK & abroad fans in the next 5 to 10 years. I expect any future tv deal will allow clubs to sell a metaverse experience allowing customers to watch the game from their armchair & watch the game through the headsets. This reality will allow the customer to watch the game from any seat in the stadium.

City are the first club to sign up to this so can you imagine how much income they will generate through this.

Expect an online questionnaire to land in your email in-trany anytime soon.

1. Do you think City value local Fans?

My answer would be a resounding “NO!”

No. The opposite. Get the singers together in the upper tier, call in The New Kippax, charge a small amount for tickets and promote it heavily.

Yes

I mean in a report in 2005 we had a UK fanbase of just under a million, and a global fanbased to under 2 million.

I truly don't think we've jumped into high numbers (not yet)

A lot has changed since then pal! There are so many more kids born since then growing up into adult city fans plus a developing global fanbase.

In the virtual experience do fans get the visceral thrill of standing up and sitting down 12 times a half for the latecomers and weak bladdered ?

And how will they censor the anti Liverpool rants that makes up 99% of my support ?

I was very sceptical of VR until I stuck an oculus quest on my head. Wow, we now have two. Not watched any sport on it yet but can definitely see it taking off.
