North Stand Construction Discussion

Business dictates, fans obey. As long as City sell-out home games, they have no incentive to lower prices. With the inevitable collapse of disposable income for a very large parts of the public, this could change, drastically, and become permanent. This would be taken into account by the strategists that make the big calls at CFG. Accelerated gentrification is short-term nirvana, long-term f'kin disaster. And there's fck-all we can do about it.....

I hope we do go with this when we eventually decide to go ahead with it. I think our fanbase suits our capacity we’ve got at the minute. Unless the ticket pricing is lowered to bring back some of the old timers and newer generation, I don’t see the point in extending.

The North Stand would be closed for a good period of time during the construction if they did just go for a one tier stand. I’m no engineer, but I reckon the whole stand would have to be pretty much demolished. They will perhaps go ahead with a big second tier.

See this is where we differ.
I am an engineer.

As much as a despise them, I do think the scousers have got it right with the £9 home tickets to Local Residents.

We've easily got a big enough fan base in Manchester to fill a 60,000 seat stadium each week at the right price.

Would love to see 5,000-10,000 cheap tickets to supporters with an M postcode

Pah! Everyone knows that most of City’s support comes from the SK postcode!

From a cost and engineering point of view to do a 'one wall' stand would be completely out of the question in my view. You are demolishing a structure with plenty of life left in it so from an economical perspective it will never happen.

Shame as i think it is the way to go to create a better atmosphere in new stadiums, we are slightly hamstrung in terms of what we can do!

People keep posting this crap about a ‘single tier’ expanded North Stand. No one has even attempted to explain how this can be acheived without out closing the whole North end for a full season and pissing off thousands of season ticket holders in the process. For what? To satisfy a few obsessives who want a single tier stand?

If (or rather when) the North Stand is expanded, it will follow the path that was taken with the South Stand with a third tier built behind the existing stand and next to no disruption.

Yes and no. Yes you do see more and more City shirts on kids all over the place but the club are doing nothing to encourage them into the ground the majority of the time. In fact with some of the pricing they appear to be actively discouraging parents from bringing them along. If kids aren’t attending matches as kids, then the likelihood is they won’t attend as adults.

£42 for under 18s against Chelsea. Liverpool’s home game against Chelsea was £9 for kids.

Liverpool charge £9 for kids for every game right around the stadium. I’m convinced if we charged the same, even with the scandalous prices of adult tickets the empty seats would disappear over night, whilst introducing a new generation of match going supporters to the club.

It staggering what they charge for a single under 18 match ticket, £42 is just way too much,few parents i know could pay that,along with the £60 to £65 cheapest adult ticket ,making it £100 plus for the dad and lad.

fortunately for me,and my son,his season ticket costs £170 up in ss3 ,works out at £8.95 per game,staggering value .

You’re probably right that it will follow the pattern of the rest of the stadium, so maybe we should just embrace what we have & work with what we’ve got. I think people are just pointing out we have a unique opportunity to change the course of the development & hope the club will listen, who’s to say this isn’t already happening? You can’t underestimate engineering, there are some brilliant minds out there overcoming far bigger obstacles than converting a football stadium, maybe there is scope to build the upper part of a single tier, behind the NS, relocate fans there, then complete the lower part, maybe I’m talking shite, Real Madrid had upper levels of the Bernabeu open while renovations where taking place below….it’s possible

I read one report today that stated “it was unclear where the booing came from”…

It’s amazing just how much the victim mentality puts the fear of god in people. The media, politicians, the FA etc are terrified of the cult…..
 
Eric Hitchmough said:
Yep, they genuinely are. I’d love to know how many stories have been pulled or blocked. The IT hack, the inhalers, the kid who got her arm broken at Wembley, and now the booing, which Klopp himself has excused.

They’re untouchable.

Career ending to go against them in any way shape or form.

Liverpool FC are the masters of cancel culture when it suits.
