I would add that many posting on here do not comprehend how difficult and expensive it is to attend a City game at the Etihad for a non local? Cheaper and easier for me to go to Wembley or away games in recent years. Hospitality is now my best option for a City home game with more certainty than an OSC.

A lot of forced relocations have been due to long standing season tickets being unceremoniously turfed out of their seats so they can be turned into corporate hospitality seats. The club don’t give a flying fuck about the normal match going fans and never have. To think otherwise is very naive.But it has improved in most areas & “forced relocations” are unavoidable when a stadium is improved. You can’t have it both ways.
Our ticket prices are no worse than most other clubs & better than many - and we have the best team in the world!
I disagree. Not sure why you are feeling so vitriolic. Where were you relocated to? And why do you hate your seat so much?A lot of forced relocations have been due to long standing season tickets being unceremoniously turfed out of their seats so they can be turned into corporate hospitality seats.

Bollocks. Season card holders are appreciated by the preferential rates compared with matchday rates. I have nothing but admiration for those who attend every game but I attended every game when we were crap yet missed out on all the big games because I did not have a season ticket or the programme tokens (remember them?)A lot of forced relocations have been due to long standing season tickets being unceremoniously turfed out of their seats so they can be turned into corporate hospitality seats.

You are paying to watch the best team in the land and all the world for less than others.

Each to their own fella. But for me the club couldn’t give a toss about our ‘legacy fans’. If they thought they could bin us off and fill the ground with hospitality & tourists then they’d do it in the blink of an eye.Bollocks.

It's sounding more like a potato on your shoulder rather than a chip I'm afraid.Each to their own fella. But for me the club couldn’t give a toss about our ‘legacy fans’. If they thought they could bin us off and fill the ground with hospitality & tourists then they’d do it in the blink of an eye.

What's the reason they haven't already?

Well the club introduced much larger corporate areas which, in a letter from Garry Cook, the club communicated that it absolutely wouldn't and it meant an awful lot of legacy fans were priced out of those areasWhat's the reason they haven't already?
The reason the club hasn't further increased the corporate is probably because there's no alternative areas to sit more evicted SC holders at the moment, but that will change with the completed extension to the North stand
As for why all tickets aren't on open sale on a game by game basis, City doesn't have the demand for 50,000 tickets every other week. We sometimes struggle to shift CL game tickets, so no chance for PL
Even the rags at their height couldn't do that week in week out

So then, clearly, they wouldn't, would they. As both your and PPT's posts wrongly claimed.

Sure. By that you would have been talking about actual reality.
Which, in fairness to me, given the whole chain is this quasi-philosophical bollocks take of precieved hidden intentions and second guessing assumed hypotheticals and cliches, I wouldn't have expected.

Sorry Dickie,
But I think your misunderstanding demand, by having the City game as a constant.
Sometimes we struggle to sell CL tickets, is because the group games are not that captivating. You may get one game you want to watch, such as one of Barca or Real (but even then you go to that and if we lost, we’d still more than likely go through). Then you get the already qualified one, which when we score you stand up and clap (not really cheer) as there no major emotion.
The fact you think struggling to sell those CL game has any effect on PL, does not understand the kind of fan I am. As I go to every PL game and have watched everyone for as long as can remember (other then the odd one here and there, where life takes over).
Every PL game matters for me (some will attract more fans) but the thing that makes us win every PL game, makes me happy because I want that win and so I cheer in that moment.
So I don’t think your post makes sense.
Agree they will add more corporate in the new stand and SC holders being priced out who have been loyal is sad.

Bang on. They wouldn’t even mind if they were away fans as long as they were shiny happy middle class away fans with large disposable incomes.Each to their own fella. But for me the club couldn’t give a toss about our ‘legacy fans’. If they thought they could bin us off and fill the ground with hospitality & tourists then they’d do it in the blink of an eye.
Look at CL nights, large groups of away fans can be found seated together in home areas time after time but the club do nothing to stop it. At the Madrid semi fans on the ramps were identifying Madrid fans to stewards doing the searches, even then stewards were seemingly reluctant to stop them entering unless the clamour from blues intensified

What I'm saying is that if the club didn't issue season cards, then it would struggle to sell all the match tickets on a game by game basis

FFS!
Can people get a fucking grip now. Look at what has been approved.
Yes. They will add some circa 900 corporate seats. Where none existed.
They will also add some circa 8,000 new regular seats for regular cunts.
(can't be arsed looking up exact numbers but percentage wise there or therabouts)
Nobody is being replaced, forced out, or whatever the claim is. They are increasing corporate. But not at the expense of regular seats, which are also increasing and in far greater numbers. It is an expansion, it is not some corporate conversion.
People are literally looking for an imaginary plight that just isn't there.

The club will extend corporate in East Stand and Colin Bell and evict the season card holders who currently sit there into the new North stand extension
