North Stand Construction Discussion

[jrb]

They are not going to change the configeration now so we are left with how it is now, if we had 3000 singers in the north stand (the rail seats) it would be loud as fuck.
The club has built it, it's up to the fan groups/fans to fill it with singers.

TBF to you, nobody can fault your enthusiasm.

Unfortunately we haven’t got 3000 dedicated ‘singers’. We’ve got 3000 fans who will take up those rail seats. On top of that, the 3000 rails seats have been formed into an upside down U shape along the back and on both sides of NSL2, meaning the 3000 fans who will occupy those rail seats are spread across NSL2 instead of being all together at the back of NSL2.

Questions.

How are the fans going to get ‘3000 singers’ together on NSL2 by themselves?(don’t say 1894)

What exactly is the clubs role in making that happen, and it becoming a reality in time for the stand opening early next year, or in time for next season?

I’ll take some more pictures tomorrow inside the Etihad from SSL1, and if I remember, from ESL1.

Thankyou. I always look out for your photos as they are a great gauge of the new stands progress. Good jaaarrrbb!

You think you've got it tough? Try living in rag and dip central.

I was in manc last weekend and I went in mulligans with my City jacket on...that was a challenge...I was watching the Irish match with my blue Mum but were visiting my red sister and her red boyfriend...never a dull moment on the Manchester irish scene wahay!!!

As you know i believe 1894 have missed a huge opportunity not going into the north stand, this would have been the catalyst for the club and 1894 to have worked together to promote the 'singing section'
I still believe it could work and i think nearer the time the club will push this...
Fingers crossed anyway.

Today is very good example of why it’s a terrible idea to put 600 ‘GA+’ seats front and center of a supposed home end.

Seats will be similar to 93:20 which was infested with Leeds fans today. A city fan has been seriously injured (broken leg apparently).

The club treat us fans with utter contempt and expect us go above and beyond to make their botched attempt at a home end atmospheric?

Not for me, thanks.

City need a complete overhaul of the ticketing policy if they want the North Stand to be a success.

Why has it been deleted?

 

[warpig]

Why has it been deleted?

I would guess due to there being an ongoing police investigation.

Why has it been deleted?

The club are leaning on Bluemoon and asked them to remove it.

This is a very good point raised about tickets ending up in the wrong hands i.e. away fans in the corporate seats of the North Stand (City Hall and Level 0).

Looking at how City Hall will be configured, to access the seats in the lower tier of the North Stand, you will need to pass through the lower concourse. This will be a flash point, without a doubt if any away fans are in City Hall.

I sit there currently and there are plenty of blues there drinking etc.
