I reckon there will be 42ish thou seasaon ticket holders in total leaving the rest for open sale...considering our trajectory it's not rocket science to believe our popularity will increase is it?

Or do you really think all our fans come from Stockport?

42,000 seems a more realistic number, so not 12000 then? Personally I think the club would like more. I have no doubt our popularity will increase. But my point about the administrative side and the fact that walk in sales will cherry pick the larger games still stands. You only have top see the difference at the demographic of the Champs League games to a West Brom/Stoke at home. For the club I think they will want guaranteed bums on seats.

No not Stockport. Statistically Tameside has the highest number of season tickets per head of population.

In the past they've had to charge a cost associated with the cost of a seasoncard plus a premium
With the pricing structure reflecting more in line the position of the seat they should be able to offer better deals

Good point. Linked to that, if the Club prices individual tickets too highly (except for rags and Chelski) it could piss off Blues trying to sell tickets on the new in house exchange.

Do you not think though that as our fanbase/demand increases that fans will start going to games where they have a more realistic chance of getting a ticket? Therefore increasing the gates of the less popular fixtures currently?

Yes overtime possibly, but not next season. We have more availability next year than previous seasons and yet in the previous seasons we did not see the demand filtering down to the smaller games due to other matches selling out. I am sure it will happen, just think the club would prefer more season ticket holders in the interim.

That's the spirit!

We are likely to have 42,000 plus season ticket holders next season - quite possibly more. Its bloody incredible. I have spent today drafting an investment paper to a major overseas investor in Manchester.

Can I just point out a few things I have learnt today.

7 million people live within one hours drive of Manchester

128,000 more people will live in Manchester City centre by 2025

The Airport development is the largest in the uk since the Olympics in 2012

Manchester hotels have an 80% occupancy

70% of graduates remain in Manchester after graduation - that is currently 154,000

The City and North of England is growing and growing fast - lots and I mean lots of people have not been able to get to games because getting a ticket has been a hassle and expensive. More young people will want to watch us as we win more and have players like Pogpa and Aguero etc etc and be associated with our success.

The stadium even at 62,000 is nowhere near big enough for where we will end up. I remember us playing Millwall at Maine Road and winning 3-0 (Nigel Spink in net for them ) and we had a crowd of 29,000 and thinking where will we get another 19,000 from.

Just 15 years later and we will have an average gate above 53,000 next year. I am very confident that I will (within 10 years) watch City at this stadium in front of regular 70k plus crowds.

Again that could possibly affect match day sales if it was open to all. Over the previous season their has been a striking difference between the cost of one off matches in comparison to the cost per match of a season ticket. Those within the £299 seats maybe asking for £15 quid on the exchange for a lesser game while the club are trying to shift 10k tickets at significantly higher prices for the same match.
