On the field success + cheap ticket prices = 100,000 every week. The rags fill their ground at a canter whilst taking the piss with ticket prices at the same time.

If its true that these guys are planning to develop money making assets to help sustain them when the oil runs out they are not going to worry about filling a big stadium in the next 5 years. They will be planning to build something iconic and big, enabling them to develop a brand and grow a fan base over the next 50 years.
They also have the economic clout to finance a entirely new league themselves if need be.

I see your point, but American Football goes on for hours, and the actual game is just a small part of the day as I have been lead to believe? Football is 90 minutes and with half time and getting in/out of the stadium you're there about 2 hours, roughly. All the finery with that Cowboys stadium is because they are there alot longer than we do at a footie match. I can see your point about making it tip top though, but they obviously cater for there sport, we cater for ours.
Could it be that this so called leisure attraction is part of the stadium? i.e. the fans will come a few hours before the game and stay after - eat in the restaurants within the stadium, drink in the full size pubs inside the stadium, ten pin bowling, museum, etc - What I'm trying to say is that you could spend a full day at the stadium - not just watching the match. Big earner for the club with all money spent within the stadium - all going to self sustaining the club and getting Platini off our backs

all you have to do is make it 10 quid thats all i want
I would confidently suggest that that goes against what the owners see as true to City's future.
Would the idea not be that you can have both corporate seats AND cheaper community seats. I wouldn't mind one prawn sandwicher flying up from London to subsidise ten other fans. No point ignoring the corporate market if it allows you to price the rest of the tickets reasonably enough to fill a huge stadium.
So long as we don't go the way of the rags and have corporates galore AND expensive seats for everyone else!

Their money is from property rather than oil.

Spot on, it'd be more fun in the cheap seats anyway!

Fair enough - I don't know that much about the economics of the region. But how didi they get the money to invest in property in the first place?
Wouldn't it be cool if we had something 5 times bigger than the Trafford Centre, with all sorts of stuff in it, a giant swimming pool, big cinemas, pubs, an indoor street and stuff, but in the middle was the football stadium. All these different areas would just sprawl out of the stadium. And for people visiting the stadium and just the stadium, you'd get to it through shuttle trains that take you from outside to the stadium, because the stadium is that f**king huge.
Big like a Las Vegas casino...but on steroids! Oh yeah, it'd have an inner canal transport system as well as the shuttle trains!

I love the idea of a new stadium, it would be the best stadium in the world without doubt, probably with a five star hotel built in and retractable roof. But definitely not 100,000, 67,000 is easy big enough. Stick the away fans in one the corners out of the way, and only ONE singing section behind the goal.
