North Stand Expansion

[Keeper!]

Less tourists.
less demand for tickets.
The club wouldn't put prices up every year ripping loyal proper fans off

And less revenue and less wages and transfer budget.

If my ticket didn't go up every season and we could only pay one of the poor darlings 300k instead of 350 I'd be happy

Will there be rooms looking onto the pitch? From the videos so far the hotel looks a long way back from the line of the steels that are forming the stand expansion, and no groundworks to indicate it will be extended towards the pitch. Just curious

There are 12 rooms looking directly onto the pitch. Below the VIP section, above the last row of the stand. Not yet visible in the videos and won't be for a while till we get to L8.

Don't get the tourist stick, they pay thousands to come and watch the team, airfares, hotels ,food drinks and the club shop, that's some commitment

The amount of tourists doing the stadium tour today is unreal. Group, after group, after group. Loads of kids from different countries wearing City shirts on the stadium tour

as you visit so often, maybe ask them how it compares (the numbers of visitors & guides) to last year, year before, etc

Interesting point. I last did it in 2013 or 14 I think, and it was mobbed even back then and I was on a waiting list. But perhaps they did fewer of them then.

I did it a few years ago, during the week IIRC, so it wasn't 'busy' as per a weekend, but still seemed a lot of people going into store, not so many on the tour, but very constant stream (and clearly limited by the number of guides)

I doubt it, Kyle Walker would be ever so distracted

Well CFG think so. How come you know different? Note: it was discussed here on BM by Stefan. Try a search.

Are you not thinking of Etihad Airlines?

I'll upload the pictures from inside and outside the Etihad, later on today.
