Possible new stadium - some interesting information

[wrongun73]

Large stadiums don't create more support.

We don't want to end up like Darlington.

We only took 6.5k to the Millenium in our first European away for a generation only 3 hours drive away.

without greatly exceeding the speed limit, all the way, there's no way cardiff can be done in three hours. i made that trip to watch us play european giants tns and it took five hours to get there. fuck me, it takes over an hour to get home from the coms with all the traffic. and i think we took more like 8,000 too.

i used to work country wide and you can do cardiff in 3 hours, maybe 3 and half.
thats just to get to cardiff on the m4 though, not including getting to the ground in football traffic.

Obvious WUM.

THere will be no 100K stadium.

There might be a new one but not 100,000.

As soon as we see some success though loads of City fans will crawl out of the woodwork and you'll also see some good things coming out for the youth with lower priced tickets.

Just received a message from Etisalat-City news service:

"Manchester City plans to make Eastlands stadium the biggest stadium in Premier League"

also (not related to the thread) "Manchester City and Inter Milan in discussions to bring Mario Balotelli to the Citizens"

" Manchester City to battle United for Hamburg defender Jerome Boateng"

10000 is far to big. unless they are going to give away 50,000 season tickets

I don't think so, as Etisalat is one of the main sponsors for the club
I doubt they will spread the rumors via their sms news service.

What size stadium do reckon we could fill ? I was thinking about 60,000 but why go to all that trouble to build a new ground just for an extra 13,000 seats.

i dont think its just a case of 13,000 seats AH, think hospitality and other things would be the reason.

How much dose eastlands generate on match day ? the price of a new stadium its gonna take along time to get that money back even with extra hospitality box's. supose where in no rush to recoup our out lay

we already have the land, so not as expensive as others, if you look at arse for example, they are generating a lot of money, there are plenty of options to turn eastlands into another sporting event, cricket, athletics or something like that.

Lancashire could do with a new cricket gound its not up to test matched standard, that would get my vote
