North Stand Construction Discussion

I'm not sure what you mean by "when tickets are allocated" but no one knows for sure anything yet. The people who are moving rather than staying in the Crossbar affected seats may (or should) get first dibs on relocating and then presumably everyone else for a relocate. It should be new ST/FG then. As long as the seat isn't already taken, you should have fairly free reign.

Sorry my question wasn't particularly clear. Are the seats currently in N level 2 that have always existed pre extension going to be included in the new North stand single tier sesting allocation or will they remain separate from that allocation?

Apologies for the ask hoping one of you more knowledgeable guys can save me a search through the tread. Yesterday we moved from our season ticket seats to the current 2nd tier of the Nkrth stand block 139 and much preferred the experience. I know there is usually a season ticket relocation window but my question is , will the existing level 2 be part of the new single second tier north stand when tickets are allocated or will it be separate and part of the existing standard relocation process?

In short yes, it will be one single tier now.

The second level (which the club are now calling Level 1 just fyi, with the bottom tier beloe ground floor now being Levle 0) will be a single tier of 9500 seats all in one bank, the new 8000ish joining straight onto the back of the existing seats. With the final 2 rows of seats to ge installed.

No idea how the season ticket allocation will work, but what the club have said people already in seats won't be affected, unless is to make room for the GA+ offering. In that case they will have the choice to stay and pay more, or given first dibs on other seats in the tier.

Don't think we can conclusively be entirely sure now where the GA+ seats are going within that tier. Originally, there was 648 seats approved right at the front of the old level2, eith everything behind the 5 first rows being general admission, and the final back rows and sides being 3000 standing rails. Then for a while it looked like those seats would move from the front of the tier to about a third in nasically where the hoarding was and the two row gap is now. But as this has had regular unpadded seats installed, leaves it a bit unclear.

So if you are not in the first 5 rows of the tier, or in the jucnction bit, then you would in theory be u affecred and can stay there. You may end up being either in front of or behind the GA+ bank of seats though, whether that affects you.

Hope that's helpful, based on what we know so far.

In short, yes. See above.
 
I honestly think City will regret reducing the size of City Hall to accommodate another 2 hospitality sections, which aren't needed(I'm my opinion), and won't always be full, instead of leaving the 1800 Capacity City Hall as it was planned originally, and filling it constantly with 1800 GA and GA+ City fans drinking and creating an atmosphere before the game and at half-time.

The much smaller SSL1 bar has been a great success and brings in loads of revenue with fans drinking and have a great time.

I fully agree with this. Said it as soon as that became apparent.

Never saw that much of an issue with the original GA+, but the city hall change really does have the makings of a missed opportunity. Such a key area, right at the heart of the whole thing. Literally.

I had giddy visions of a Munich Beer festival tent setting with a City themed hall with loads of City related memorabilia, with seating and standing areas, loads of bars, and possibly food outlets

I've been to the Munich beer festival and tried most of the huge tents, and each one has it's own unique theme and atmosphere, but all are brilliant and fun.

I'm not saying City Hall should be like the Munich beer tents, but something similar within City Hall would have been great. Everyone sitting next to each other chatting, singing, drinking, and eating. It would have been a great match day experience in our new home end.

Sometimes I just wish the directors running the club would think a bit differently than another 2 hospitality areas.

What about the GA fans? We're probably the most important part of the fan base, yet we've been sidelined and overlooked during the clubs constant push for more hospitality areas inside the Etihad and inside the new North stand
