Yet if you look at the "actual" numbers GMP have stated,went through the turnstiles at OT,there are literally thousands of seats not occupied.Yes I know we have the same problem but its nothing on a scale like theirs,so figures can be manipulated to suit a case.
They have a 76k seated stadium and regardless if their no show they still have a global branding and attraction that we don't come close to or ever hope to. In your opinion can we attract the kind of plastic, rich corporate fan base that they have ?
we can match and surpass their global branding, just watch what 20 years of success does

I understand what Bobs saying,but at times as fans,we don`t half look on the negativity first and foremost and give very little thought to the positives.Perhaps we aint used to it still ??
It would be interesting to see a table of costs for the various parts of Maine Road (adjusted for inflation as well).
I suspect that some of the best seats (my dad had a season ticket in the Main Stand more or less on the half way line, with that white dividing wall of wood in front of him) would be pretty heftily priced now.
And I also wonder how many of those who have issues with the changes, for whatever reason, would lik to be able to stand and pay perhaps £300 a season for that?

Where in this letter does it say Level 2 will be moved to Level 3?

Of course they would. I made this point earlier in the thread. Assuming the takeover hadn't happened and assuming we were still in the Premier League (and in business!) how much do people honestly think they'd be paying for tickets?fbloke said:I suspect that some of the best seats (my dad had a season ticket in the Main Stand more or less on the half way line, with that white dividing wall of wood in front of him) would be pretty heftily priced now.
Between 10-20% less as an absolute maximum looking at clubs like Villa and Everton.

It doesnt really say where seats will be moved to, just cost of the existing seats in a few years.

Interesting enough to see how they've changed since the move to the new stadium. I paid around £400 in the first year there (just under SS scoreboard) and from memory £500 when I moved to the current seat. Thats gone up over £200 in the past two years already, with another hike of £450+ to come.
I think cheap standing would get significant support.
I'm curious, for the record - not that I entirely disbelieve the notion or anything, just to understand. Why exactly do people equate "safe standing" with "cheap"? Aside from the fact that they can put a few extra people in (I can't really see them being able to "safely" increase capacity by more than 10% or so) what exactly would make a standing section cheaper than a seated one?
