Its been done loads before but...is it now realistic ?

[oakiecokie]

For years I think we`ve all dreamed of the day when City could become not just an accomplished team,but also a Club.
Looking at how we have now got the "Sold Out" notices for our next two PL games and the manner in which we have changed our playing system,from a defensive to an attacking minded one,due to our good fortune in signing these top players,should we now be looking at an increase in ground capacity ?
Yes,I realise that one swallow doesn`t make a summer,but is it now realistic to go to that next step,or should we wait another season and see if we are that team who can become the next Rag or Chelsea team ?
Perhaps as fans we just didn`t realise that our City would have grown up very quickly.Maybe we should wait another 2 or 3 seasons before committing ourselves to a further project,on top of The Etihad Campus ?
Would we constantly have the "Sold Out" notices being displayed on a possible 60,000 Stadia ?

I think this is only the start...

I think this is only the start...

I`m not looking at it pessimistically,but based on our current ability to stay in the Top 4,for the next few years.
Assuming we can,then that just adds weight in being able to get some more quality players in and more importantly to more than hold our own under the FFPR and that twat Platini.

All in good time, all in good time.

Relax and enjoy the ride. The wheels are in motion, the players are in place and the foundations are being laid to support the infrastructure that will see M.C.F.C. lead the way in world football.

The new Etihad training campus may be in it's embryonic phase but Sheikh Mansour's plans and vision for our great club are light years ahead. I get the impression Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon Al Mubarak and their team of planners don't do 'half measures'.

Whatever we (the fans) hope will materialise for our club will probably only be a fraction of what the owners have in store.

Carling doesn't do football club owners, but if it did...

In 5 years time...perhaps, selling out league games is no big deal.

Any of you lot remember playing Schalke? They sell out all their tickets during a hectic week in june long before the season starts with non-ST holders just able to buy 6 tickets I think.. Are they talking expansion?..No they are not.

Infrastructure wise nothing much has changed in the last 8 years. Even the bloody tram line will be 9 years late. So lets get it started, even if it's only somewhere to put the away fans.

Nearly, it's Carlsberg

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

They'll expand it. I think they might do it when they see how we fare when the FFPR's kick in

Not so long ago there was serious talk about the North and South stand being extended to have a 3rd tie creating a complete 3 level stadium, this will only add a few thousand but its a start. Are these plans still going ahead?
