[cpoverview]

Cheers 2 more days and i will be back to regular updates

I agree with much of what you say. I just don’t get the revisionism from some posters against the flexi golds. When I gave the heads up that this type of season card was going to be offered by the club, it was very well received on here. The families that have bought flexi golds for their kids seem to be very happy with them. I know because we run a coach to home games and several families have snapped them up. It would be better if the up front payment was reduced but this is a solution to the excessive match day ticket prices.

This forum seems to be getting overtaken by people who want to tell others what’s good and bad for them. The Club have been a contributory factor by making daft moves on disabled car parking etc.

I’m not a fan of the flexi-gold idea, I think it’s a cash grab.
I believe you have to attend a minimum of ten fixtures to retain it for next season. I would propose that once somebody has retained it for five seasons they then be given the option to upgrade it to a regular gold season ticket.

Noticed that platform which appears to obstruct views from the upper west side of the expansion was included in the new render.

Anyone got those visuals of what it looks like from the stand?

I think that will happen anyway. Possibly sooner. As one poster explained, it will work out a lot cheaper than buying 10 or more individual match tickets.

Or call me crazy, push it ourselves, and persuade other fans to get over there, never used databases in the past. Just push it, and don't get left behind.

We keep going on about how the club are wasting our last opportunity to make this a home end. Why's this all on the club. The fans make the atmosphere, get your asses over there.

Do both.....but there needs to be a very clear indication of demand for all areas, but particularly the NS, to enable the club to ensure the attendance/demand configurations correct.

I notice that a Zipwire keeps getting mentioned. Could it be something to do with that?

From memory the view analysis visuals covered the tv box, not the general seating.

Can mods or someone remove the addition to the thread title, now that there is another thread for it.

Hopefully the club will allow banners and/or flags to be hung on those concrete walls, or some City livery will be added, because those concrete walls look grim.

There’s a black and white diagram drawn from the view of (seemingly) the most western block of the expansion. It looks like a walk way of sorts partially obscures the pitch.

Would be easier for everyone to comment if we can find that imagine. It was posted here a few weeks back.

This one? Only from the tv studio, of which the equivalent on the opposite side is the vip room. There are no others in there, I had a quick check.

Was there another image from the other side?

No. It’s from the opposite side and you can see the platform come across from the stand and partially obscure the pitch. It was posted on here the other week.

Thanks to which ever Mod lifted the ban to allow me to post on here again, if I upset a poster on here I apologise but it was getting tedious and I'm glad there is now a thread for that discussion, anyway back to what I'm more interested in 'pictures and videos of the construction of the North Stand'

I don’t understand why City fans have to pay a £150 membership fee to buy a (flexible) match (season) ticket.

Why doesn’t the club just sell normal season tickets anymore? Similar to the season ticket I’ve got, and thousands of other City fans have still got?

Fans can opt-in to purchase their seat three weeks prior to the game. Match ticket prices will vary according to seat location and opposition. The total amount payable - should you attend 19 fixtures - would be equal to the Gold Season Ticket price for the respective seat, excluding the Membership Fee.

On the intro video for Flexi Gold it’s states ‘priority to away games’.

What does that mean? And how does that work?

Is that true or is it just a marketing and sales exercise?

Flexi-Gold Season Ticket

We are pleased to have launched a new Flexi-Gold Season Ticket ahead of the 2024/25 season.

We were told that one of the reasons for the Flex Season Cards was the no shows from normal season card holders, the flex thing was to ensure that the seats would not be empty.

I’ve replied to your post in the other thread, mate.

 

[LEXSTARproject]

I agree. I think we should not only get on board with the club’s mini and unenthusiastic proposal for making NSL2 an atmosphere stand but really drive it and make it an atmosphere stand whether that’s what they intend or not.

Having thought long and hard about this, we simply cannot let this be the final missed opportunity to have a proper atmosphere stand at City. We can’t let this not be something special:

But we have to drive this ourselves.

Is it something to do with the roof walk? Perhaps it gives you a view of the stadium from within the bowl as you go up to (or back from) the roof itself.

Lets keep this thread above the one full of moaners.
