If they got rid of the corporate seating at the front I’d be alright with that

Why would people by corporate seats in front of a home wall of the more rowdy fans ? It doesn't make sense !

Yeah. We all would. 2 hospitality areas at the back of the stand isn’t an issue. It’s the front hospitality area that is the spanner in the works.

From reading through and seeing these pics, front of L2 is definitely corporate done in the style of Joes (it actually uses this description) to try softening it & make it more acceptable

As much pressure as possible must be put on the club to reverse the decision to place hospitality at the front of the new second tier. It completely defeats the point of building a 'Home End' in the first place and will be detrimental to the improvement of atmosphere and the ability to have large scale displays.

Think they’re trying to gentrify the fans now, not just the stadium unfortunately, they want average Joes (pun intended) to spend more money. My only surprise is it’s only 600, suppose they could always extend it

So let me get this right, we have put corporate seating right at tthe front of the North stand 2nd teir smack bang in the middle?
If it's true it will put hundreds if not thousands off relocating.

There was no mention of a corporate area at the front of NSL2 when the fan consultation was launched. Can you imagine the reaction of the fans if there was. The club have kept this quiet on purpose, and it’s only become apparent via the planning application.

Is Danny Wilson going to do the decent thing and explain why that information wasn’t added to the fans consultation? And why after months of reading this thread, knowing what we all wanted, he, Soriano and the other City directors involved in the NS expansion chose to ignore what the fans wanted and pushed ahead with a hospitality area at the front of level 2.(with another 2 hospitality areas at the back of NSL2, and a skywalk for good measure)

There in danger of fragmenting the singers and instead of a dedicated home end it will make the atmosphere worse rather than better !

This will also force out any season ticket holders who are unfortunate to be sat where this new hospitality section will be. Just adding to the growing list of people who have been forced out for hospitality/corporate/premium seats in other areas of the ground.
