I'd be disappointed if the club were hoping the current hoi polloi would shift to make way for bigger wallets
It is what it is, City are a country mile behind any other club with our aspirations, in terms of corporate facilities and seats, so they were always going to expand it. The new upper tiers at both ends will allow this to take place, allowing cheaper tickets for those of us who they see as loyal, and the club get the best of both worlds, far more corporate or day tripper types, while holding onto the majority of the fan base. losing a small few, who view a seat they rent, as their own property won't worry the club. Most in the areas will move out, leaving the club to fill the void with high spenders, the few that stay will give the club more of their hard earned, so win win.
Those that move will contribute the same or less by moving, but at the same time, will vacate seats so that they can expand the 'customer' base, again win win.
For those that decide to move, they can have the same priced or cheaper seats, win win for them too.
For those that decide its too much, as a few in this thread have said, then its their loss, and all over a seat position.
I've been called "all right jack" for this opinion, and saying "its only a seat", fine, but I'll still be watching City live next season, and will hopefully have made it cheaper for myself, win win for me, my lad, and a mate, so yes, I'll be all right, and in the next few years I look forward to watching City bring through some of their own to be at the top of world football, and all at a cheaper cost than watching us win the league twice in three years. Win win as far as I see it.
