Bloody great news in the short term.

Long term, I hope that this is just a stop-gap for much bigger plans because it would be very underwhelming if this would be the only rail seating we have.

Hahahah yeah its only good news if you sit in the south stand.

Big anti climax. Who knows when standing will be permitted (officially) anyway ?
Wasn't worth all the anticipation. Typical City. :-)

Thank god for that I thought I might be let down with news of a Messi or Haaland signing!
Thrilled to bits we're getting a few rails in the South Stand

It's a step in the right direction but not earth shattering for 85+% of match going fans.

Unless we knock the price down I'll be staying in the 315 gods but would love to stand all game again as I came from 117 but moved due to cost 'upstairs'

The numbers don't add it if it includes the corners unless they netted off the away fans?


it was dangerous at spurs away, bollock height and no room to get in an out of the seats.
