Why are people questioning how we get kids supporting us?

Don't we have kids tickets for £120? Other than that though, a lot of kids will want to support a team winning things. Nothing breeds support like success. We have a gap as united dominated. That's not the case anymore. It doesn't change overnight though. I'd guess that's far more of a factor than ticket prices.

Because people like you don't appear to understand that a child of 10, even if he could afford or had access to £120, is not allowed to enter the ground by themselves until they are 14.

If they are to come in, then an adult must also buy a Seasoncard at (Lower Tier Family Stand) £450!

Now, just in case it hasn't sunk in, the greater majority of children in East Manchester come from low income homes, of which a good proportion are single parents probably on benefit supported income. In short, the concept of a 10 year old lad convincing his mum/dad to spend £570 so he can watch City for a season is fantasy stuff!

The solution is for the club to offer, a small selection of Pay on the Day seats for 10-14 year olds at £5 a game. The area could be chaperoned by CITC staff and it would offer our club back to the people who now occupy the very soil from which it grew.

£5 a game is sustainable, as it was only 2-3 years ago children in the family stand, who are fortunate enough to have parents who want to attend and can afford to do so actually paid across 19 games for their children's Seasoncards which were £95.

The images of the proposed extension for our stadium look spot on, according to the report in the MEN the other day it suggests capacity will be up towards 61'500 and a seat price in the new area of around £299 which is a very good price.

Just wondering of the new area will have a family area for children? - does anyone know this

I wonder if once it's completed, and the third biggest football ground in England behind Wembley and old trafford, whether Perry Groves will still think we're a "medium sized club"? Someone should be sure to ask him.

Is there a stipulation on the capacity stadium for a UEFA Champions League Final? Just wondering if we do both stands together and a new 61,500 stadium is ready for season 2015/2016 whether we would then look at hosting a Champions League Final in the not too distant future?

Only 30,000 according to this:

makes me laugh that the 'toilet' is an elite stadium
the concourse is far too narrow and the seats in front scrape your knees
