I fear the fucking worst..
Well perhaps this will get more vocal people in the "singing" sections. After all by the amount of noise they're making about this, they'd be welcome in the South Stand.
The view/experience on level 2 is awesome and by far the best in the ground. So by my reckoning then they should be the "premium" seats and therefore command "premium" prices. It's common sense. We have to be a viable concern with or without the Sheik's investment!
People have had a good deal out of the club so far at COMS and are being offered an excellent deal by being offered the £250 value ticket which will let them see the stadium from other areas and then if they like it in a particular place, then stay there for next season. I'm sorry but all this "We've sat in the same places for 40 years" crap is just whingeing and NIMBYism on the grandest scale. It's not like the club are saying you can't renew, they're giving you the option of staying and coughing up what is the going rate or moving at a discount. What more can they do?
The City of Manchester Stadium isn't your living room. You don't have a
right to your seat but you certainly have a right to be offered a reasonable alternative. And that IMO is what you've got.
If I had the chance at a Value ticket, I'd jump at it. £250 is awesome value.
Plus if I had the money and I wanted the best seat in the house, I'd be there in a shot. The seats will be taken because there is
demand. Like it or lump it.
