North Stand Expansion

I wonder if they’ll just flatten the rubble into an uneven surface and sell tickets for an Istanbul Experience. Perhaps leave a few cables lying around and turn off the lights for night games.

That must be the one that won't open for me although annoyingly it seems I skipped some of the one I did read :(

Future of Football: Attendances on the rise... but how big could stadiums actually get?

What does the future hold for stadiums and fans in the stands? Have attendances topped out? Do fans help deliver success on the pitch?

The average attendance for a top-flight football match in England smashed the 40,000 threshold for the first time ever last season.

It hasn't been an incremental rise over the years, though. The record of 38,793 set in 1948/49 before all-seater stadiums had stood for 71 years until 2019/20 - having halved to around 20,000 during the 1980s thanks to Liverpool.

Thanks to Liverpool ?

Thanks to Liverpool ?

he obviously means that the vermin were the cause of all seater stadiums coming in, after their murders in Heysel. Thus, lower attendances.

I'm in, how much are tickets? Will I need to bring another phone to be 'lifted' in the melee, can't wait.

I would like to see a giant golden ship at the top of the North Stand/ Sky Walk similar to the cockerel at Spurs. The ship is a clearly definable City emblem
