North Stand expansion - seating, ticketing etc

Were you even there? If you were you know every single one of these photos are a lie as they were either take before/after the game or at the start or end of play. Every single stadium in the world has empty seats at some point during a match day. The only difference is, sly cnuts like the fake rag goldbridge don't use photos of the empty seats and post on social media. It doesn't help when city fans fall for it and help push the myth by reposting the propaganda.

Were there some empty seats last night? Yes, but very few compared to these photos. I guarantee there are also empty seats at most other games, for most other teams most of the time.

Exactly. Some fans love to moan - or maybe they’re not fans??? No comment on what a great game it was. Probably wasn’t even there

The club needs a hard reset on ticketing and stadium setup; loads of empty seats all around the ground tonight.

The stadium atmosphere was provided by the away fans, which again proves that we need a vocal home end

Then we have this all over social media, this will keep happening if we don't sort out stadium set-up once and for all

Those are fake pictures taken before the match or half time. The ground was virtually full . Why are you posting this shit. You need to attend a few matches.

It is ridiculous for people who don’t bother going to games to make any comments about the atmosphere. If you don’t like the CL that’s your choice but don’t bore us all with your relentless moaning. There were lots of happy faces last night, lots of families, lots of hard core fans. It was great and worth struggling through the traffic for.

There probably aren’t so many Spurs fans running round trying to stick their knife into their own club.

I think the lack of atmosphere was a bigger issue than attendance. Credit to South Stand level 0/1 for sticking at it and being heard as the game went on.

Yes. Some of our so called “fans” constantly just moan. You have to question if they’re true fans or just on this forum to try & cause disruption

No Dortmund fans but lots of half and half scarves in East Stand Upper. Dortmund did not fill their own section so not sure why any would be elsewhere in the ground.

They were my thoughts to. I know there are strict rules on away tickets for Spanish and Italian Clubs that sometimes leads to a number of fans in the home end, but I’ve only really noticed that for German Clubs when the away end has been packed out.

They sold out. In Champions league games we're only required to give them 2,700 tickets ≈ 5% of the capacity. We just sell those tickets in the 3,000 seat away end.

The empty seats in the back 10 or so rows of the SS3 away end are always empty on European nights. (This will change when our capacity increases above 60,000)

We will see plenty of Gala fans. My barber and his pals follow Gala but go to lots of City games as members. They reckon there are 20,000 Gala fans living in London and Manchester. He said most in the North West Turkish community have a soft spot for City but hate United and Liverpool.

Fair dos if they have been going to City games and our match day members. Hopefully, our moaners will buy their tickets for the Gala game so the Etihad doesn’t mirror the swamps, and becomes min Istanbul for the night.

Cheers, I dug out the seating plans for the '24 & '25 seasons, north & south stands both, it'll be interesting to see what they announce next year given the big drops in matchday tickets for this season.

What’s the consensus on what needs to happen with the Family Stand next year? Should the rules be enforced relating to U16s meaning a lot of people being moved out OR should a new family area be designated somewhere else? I find it odd that a new large and hopefully “vocal” area is being built and then there’ll be this sometimes problematic area at the front (eg half-term evening games and such).

The only major trouble I can remember was the Celtic fans who behaved like animals. Not sure about Gala. If they behave most City fans will be ok with it. They did take the piss at United but they do hate United so let’s see. City had no problem in Istanbul from Besiktas or Gala fans as far as I know. Hopefully the game will be a dead rubber so we can all laugh at United.

It's not even a real family stand anymore, all the kids in there have now grown up and these days the demographic is no different from anywhere else in the ground

The club got rid of the U16 category some years ago so they will probably use U18.

The 500 or so being moved have had their letters but the rest haven't so I assume they can stay.

The middle 6 blocks of NS lower had people relocated for the 2011/12 season, which was to include the the two cheese corner blocks, however the corner blocks got a reprieve but not are counted as west and east stand so pay a lot more (unlike 019 and 011 being south stand).

I don't know of anyone else having to move, I think it is just the criteria for getting in now, however there are also a lot of elderly people in the NS0 who want to be close to the action, wh don't want to pay East and West prices and don't want people standing up all game. There isn't anywhere else suitable for them to go.
