North Stand Construction Discussion

Fa

Fans don't go to "be entertained ", they go to support the club they love. City will have zero problem filling that stand whatever run of form they are in so long as they get the pricing right.

You mean like the full houses we were getting under Pearce and Hughes....

Our 'core base' probably isn't as big as you think, probably near 40k to 45k

Not if as I said it's priced correctly

Fair comment. Personally, I don’t think any 'non-hospitality' seat should cost more than £40 anywhere in any PL ground.

The club could allocate all of level 2 CB and East stands to hospitality and charge a fixed £30/£40 for everywhere else.

They'd still make a fortune.

That would really annoy me.

I’d have to move seat.

Why is that bad when you are meant to be looking at the pitch?

It’s in my peripheral vision and annoying. :-)

Fair enough mate, my reply was slightly in jest :-)

Final comment from basically a sh*t day - the new screen in the SE corner has a different aspect ratio (basically wider) than the other two - the extra bit on the right hand side is filled with a slice of ETIHAD advertising top to bottom - doesn't look that good sadly...

Looked fine to me, dont see the issue

suspected that would be like this - this is also possibly part of the reason why City didn't add the equivalent extra block of 3rd tier seats at the north end of the east/west stands. I think the 3rd tier away fans are similarly afflicted, the other side of the screen blocks part of their view of the stadium as a whole

Sorry, something went wrong with the video I took inside the ground yesterday.

The video started off ok, then for some reason it went into slow motion as I'm panned around the Etihad. The sound was f*cked up as well.

I had to delete the video.

I’ll try again against the Rags.

I did take some pictures which I’ll post later tonight.

The lack of symmetry did my head in.

Same. Looks odd without a 4th screen in the other corner.

I would be grateful that your not sat in the disabled bays ;-)

I’d be intrigued to see the view from the seats underneath the big screen.

Knowing City they'll probably try to sell them to blind fans

 

[RiversideBlue]

Come on guys. Did no-one ever go to Maine Road and have a pillar in the way. First world problems. Boo-hoo "I can't see the whole of the crowd."

Me too, first couple of rows are probably ok, not so sure after that though!

They were probably the best seats in the house yesterday :-)
