Additionally, if City developed an 'away fans zone' in a tented village, on the triangle of land that abuts the coach park/ANR & ATW, the sale of F&B could be worth additional £££s and possibly goodwill from other clubs, particularly if away fans are advised to alight the metro at ASDA/ANR and straight into the away zone.Increase in match day revenue. Which the club wants.
How many away seats are in SSL2? Let’s say 1000 for arguments sake. Probably slightly less?
1000x£30 = £3000. £3000x19 = £570,000.
If the SSL2 away end was turned into a City end.
Let’s go for an average of £60. Arsenal is currently £77 a seat.
1000x£60 = £60000. £6000x19 = £1,140,000.
£570,000 more per season. It will be more due to more expensive tickets, and maybe hospitality? City could quite easily make £1mill more a season from the away section on SSL2 than they do now.
Hellocity recently complained about the long queues of people waiting to get up to SSL3. Giving the current away end over to City fans would open another entrance and exit to SSL3. 1000+ away fans are currently using that entrance and exit.
Finally, the police/licencing authorities may be in favour of having away fans in one location next to the stadium, rather than spread round the area/Central Manchester.
