North Stand Construction Discussion

Looks proper

Good spot so 1200+ hospitality seats. (15%+ of new seats) Makes a mockery of the club telling 1894 group there was no hospitality. Doesn't bode well for getting the home end we want.

That’s f*cking shite!

Hospitality wins again.

There you go.

The club really aren’t interested in what the fans wanted, a proper and vocal home end.

No doubt the LED screen on level 2 will be replaced and put back on.

I've tried to add caution over the last few weeks with regards to this, i was hopeful that as 1894 group had been told by the club there was none that the plans had changed since i got them - clearly not.

That’s absolutely shite. It’s clear the club are only interested in corporate. It’s not a home if 15% of it is hospitality

Most fans want success and quality players, which all looks the same viewed from anywhere in the stadium. It takes finances to achieve success and our rivals will continue to try to grow their income. City are just doing the same to keep a step ahead.

Oh well, they and we all tried.

But corporate revenue won again.

Expansion of the Etihad Stadium North Stand to provide an additional net capacity of 7,910 and an increase in the overall stadium capacity of up to 61,958 and noting that this capacity figure is within the ambit of an extant Planning Permission for expansion of the Stadium (62,170), including its North Stand, which was granted in 2014.

What is the proposed capacity. Another section states this…

No one’s disagreeing with that, but you don’t put corporate seating at the front of a home end

Oh please don’t start this shit. Atlest you were the first one to say it.

We’re adding 9000 seats, a hotel, restaurants, bars, and a new 3000 plaza. You’re not telling me for the sake of a few hundred seats at the front of L2, City couldn’t have made them normal seats and put the support and the atmosphere first.

Don't get me wrong fully supportive of the 1894 lads, it appears they've been sold a lie by the club.

Hopefully they will tell the club they are taking the piss

Exactly. At City they do.

We all should, but it’s too late now, and it won’t change anything.

If true it will destroy any hopes for a decent home end. Also it will look absolutely wank as well and completely fuck up things like displays and flags.

And you are trying to tell me that a few hundred seats added to 50k + voices will make a significant difference.

at the front? yes

 

[kurious oranj]

It's 648 seats where you probably pay a bit extra for a pie and a pint to be included and it's in front of a row of disabled seats.
Mountain out of a molehill.

Right at the front of the stand. 100% that will make a difference. Visually it looks shite, flag displays/ drop downs will be harder to do - probably not allowed. It’s a home end you shouldn’t have corporate seating front and centre

 

[bluesmith]

And you are trying to tell me that a few hundred seats added to 50k + voices will make a significant difference.

100% it will. Think of all the most vociferous ends in world football, how many have corporate in them - none.

You have’t got a clue, so for once I not wasting my time. (on you)

Everyone knows what we’ve been asking for. You obviously don’t.

It’s why I suggested corporate boxes under the lip of level 1, before they started carving up level 2, they where always going to gentrify the shit out of it
