I think we should go back to Maine Road.
The atmosphere was just incredible there ……….
The atmosphere was just incredible there ……….
My wording was almost exactly this; ‘This is an opportunity to have a proper vocal stand for City fans for the first time in a generation. This might be the final chance in our lifetimes to get this right. Make the huge second tier of the new North Stand something special. No corporates, no hospitality, no tourists, no day-trippers, £350 for all adult season tickets in NSL2, £35 for all adult matchday tickets in NSL2… safe standing, banners, flags… let’s make this special’.
This could have been iconic, now it’s more like they’ve been taking the Mick.
If you zoom in on the photos there are corporate boxes underneath the level2 some else posted about this before, just behind the flags at the back of level one
They could easily expand hospitality in ESL2, SSL2 and CBL2 and pretty much make a horse shoe of L2 in all areas other than the new North Stand as corporate/hospitality and leave NSL2 alone and create a proper City vocal stand there.Ultimately the club has two choices:
- squeeze every penny they can
- allow fans to create an atmospheric end
It’s one or the other.
Which of the two do you think will:
1. Help the team win games
2. Attract new fans
3. Build the reputation of the club
4. Attract sponsorship deals
5. Instill a sense of pride amongst the club
The model to work off is Dortmund. Fans travel from all over the world to watch the Yellow Wall. Do you think they’d pop 600 posh seats in the key position? No chance.
Let’s say those seats generate an extra £600k per season. Is it genuinely worth it? Is there not more to football than revenue? Could the incredible brains employed by city not figure a way to expand the existing hospitality sections (e.g. SSL2?)
The next time Pep calls out the fans… LOL
CH and City Square, what do you mean ?City Hall looks a great concept, massive bar area with capacity for 1800 people, the bar area will serve CH and City square
what’s the capacity of the North stand in its current form is it 6000? How many will it hold when the redevelopment happens?
No, but they won’t harm the atmosphere either and are just as likely to join in with whats going on around them / us ,as Ive been in 93:20 a few times, as any other fan.I don’t think a few 100 hospitality seats that might be another Joe’s ‘located right at the front of L2‘ will finance an Erling Haaland or Jude Bellingham transfer. But those seats would certainly improve the atmosphere and the spectacle in the North stand.
TBF you’re only the 2nd person to come up with that argument today, which is understandable.
Tickets remain for the last 3 home games.
