North Stand Construction Discussion

[jrb]

With pep here, Haaland signing, our best squad ever and most successful period we will probably ever have now is the time to do the north stand! Expensive yes but everything the owner does is with a long term investment return anyway and let’s be fair, they have the money?!

Correct.

Hence I don’t understand the constant argument that it’s going to cost too much, and it isn’t worth doing as we can’t fill the stadium.

With Platinum and Gold season tickets already sold out. And other City fans are desperate to get their hands on the Silver season ticket.

Yep! The empty seat counters need to talk to the season ticket holders that don’t turn up? Obviously on any particular day there will be a valid reason and too late to sell on ticket exchange yet I know quite a few family members who don’t go to certain games as it’s a banker win against a lesser team?!? Causes a few heated debates at family get togethers! Lol. Spurs have their magnificent stadium, the dippers are extending again (although visually I think klanfield is a mess) and I’m sure the new Chelsea owners are looking to sort Stamford bridge out so we needed to move on this at least a year ago?!

Random one guys but to do with the expansion, Will any stands or blocks be reduced in capacity whilst construction is under way?
Memory isn’t serving me well at all trying to think back to SS3 Being built

Spurs stadium is dire for away fans, cramped like old trafford football version. City would have 20k more seats if they did a spurs.

No because the 3rd level was built from behind the existing structure.

but people did get pissed on in the corners whilst the roof had gaps in it

but people did get pissed on in the corners whilst the roof had gaps in it

First game there was nothing just a gap, Liverpool at home midweek and it pissed it down all game.

Soon after that they put in crates and did a temp botched job which still let rain through, and some fans got it far worse like a mini waterfall around the end of the alphabet seats.

Fix The Roof

The temporary covers around 120 and I assume 111 were shockingly inadequate yesterday. Any sort of heavy rain and it just runs through the gaps, and the club have had over 4 months to sort something proper out. There are puddles from previous days whether or not it rains on match day, so...

Shambles of a club 2nd year in succession I'm going to have to tell my son he hasn't got a season ticket! He went to 10 games plus last season! I've bought a second membership for him again and they sell out once again!

I've had my season ticket for years but for god sake City expand the stadium so you don't skip a generation who miss out year in year out! Make it 68-70,000 and if there are empty seats after this then who gives a s#%t! Justl et the local fans get in ... look after the lifeblood of the club! Or I will have to go watching my local team with him instead as he wants to watch football! and is too young to go alone!


Sort it out City!

Aye there was a lovely view to your right out of 317 of Manchester though.

Bit gutted when they patched it up

Any expansion wouldn’t be complete until 2025 or 2026 at the earliest I’d have thought.
