Re: delayed north stand extension

I heard it was Brian Marwood's fault

Its Bluemoon, it will be some fuckers fault!

I'd heard it was because they couldn't get water up to the bogs!

Its a power issue on the site mate, just not enough at present.

Re: delayed north stand extension

From reading the stadium thread I thought it had something to do with technical problems about power?

That is probably the real reason. Give this thread another couple of hours and no doubt it will be Peller's fault

That will be at least half an hour after it is Dzeko's or Kolarov's fault (but one James Milner will have the solution!).

Re: delayed north stand extension

Taken from the MEN the other day, this is the average attendance and % of the ground full based on that.
Given the price of the tickets in this country I think those figures are fantastic across the league, barring the statistical outlier in Aston Villa.

Using Spanish clubs in comparison is a little daft as they have a different fan culture over there.

Lets face it, when you swathes of empty seats it looks, well it looks a bit shit really

Manchester United — 99.6% — 75329
Arsenal FC — 99.5% — 59994
Chelsea FC — 99.4% — 41540
Queens Park Rangers — 99.0% — 17820
Swansea City — 98.6% — 20542
West Ham United — 98.6% — 34861
Liverpool FC — 98.6% — 44655
Tottenham Hotspur — 98.4% — 35717
Leicester City — 98.1% — 31699
Stoke City — 97.5% — 27049
Manchester City — 97.2% — 45380
Crystal Palace — 97.1% — 24348
Everton FC — 96.9% — 38359
Newcastle United — 96.3% — 50402
West Bromwich Albion — 94.8% — 25081
Southampton FC — 94.1% — 30598
Hull City — 92.1% — 23396
Burnley FC — 89.5% — 19158
Sunderland AFC — 88.6% — 43157
Aston Villa — 77.7% — 33161

If city believe they can maintain a % anywhere above 90% lets do it

Think these figures are a waste of time ,if the away team don't take up their full allocation.just takes a couple of teams to leave empty blocks and it brings the season average down

Villa's figure, for a city the size of Birmingham, is an absolute fucking disgrace.

Re: delayed north stand extension

It's sensible to see how we get on with the south stand extension first. I have some concerns about us being able to sell out the ground week in week out with just the south stand being extended, let alone adding a further 6000 seats.

its no crime not selling out week in week out. locking paying customers out cos we can't fit them in is the crime.

Can't they just slave the power off a nearby lamppost? I know a good local electrician who could sort that out for them.

I can't see that putting the North Stand back a whole year, with all the empty seats at games the last couple of games it is prudent not to expand too quickly.
