ChicagoBlue said:Rather than being a "one off," it needs to be done PERMANENTLY, so that those who want to be in the South Stand singing are accommodated using the season ticket route. When we go away, the few thousand fans who are all placed together do a great job of raising the roof, yet we can put 40,000 in the Etihad, spread the singing around and get echoes, different chants from different locations, etc, etc, etc....and it often does not sound as good as a few thousand away fans who are ALL TOGETHER!!
It is STUPID!
Look at the noise a few thousand Napoli fans made....because they were concentrated in ONE PLACE.
The ONLY time I have had the tingles at Etihad that I used to get from certain games at Maine Road was the Hamburg game, which was like a home cup final! Hamburg fans were loud and City fans were the loudest they have EVER been at Etihad.
We need a South Stand JUST for City fans. Period.
That's why they're listening to the fans and trying it for this game. It's in the hands of the fans who keep saying the South Stand should be for City fans only now, if you don't put your money where your mouth is and relocate they won't do it again. Period.

Just talked to someone high up in the club and they have noted the apparent apathy towards this. Why does everyone think there's a poor take up? The club are reading.

The stadium capacity limits the number of local match-going blues so there isn't a pool of supporters to call on when the season-card holders don't turn up
Too late now, but there should have been some kind of scheme to encourage seasoncard holders to turn up to these games. Once they've paid their £480 or whatever, that's it for half of them
Sell paper Tickets is City Shop on Arndale and make sure people know you can get them there. that would be one way to easily sell loads.

On the flip side of course these will be the only seats left come the predictable last minute rush Sat to Tues. Whether these people will be the singers is a matter for conjecture
and a leaflet on every other seat on Saturday telling fans that they can buy paper tickets for friends family workmates etc.
next time send something out in post to all members on the City database. Not everyone logs on and looks up ticketing info on City web-site

It's very poorly advertised.
If you asked people going into the match on Saturday
did they know about this 90% wouldn't have a clue.
Most people don't have jobs where they have access to a computer
and probably don't spend there spare time on the City website.
If it's not put on a plate for people generally they will not bother.
I would imagine there would be more demand for it the second time around
when people have seen it for themselves and think that's a good idea.

I'm just going to go in K entrance as usual, and walk round (either if the steel gate is open or around the seats).
