Stadium Expansion (Confirmed)

[Marvin]

As I've already posted and others on here have confirmed.

PL away fans capacity will remain at 3000 .
Cup away fans capacity will go up to 9000 if they can sell the tickets. If not then 6000 as per.

There are Premiership rules which state that grounds over a certain capacity have to offer 3,000 seats to away fans.

This seems a bit redundant in recent seasons as few clubs take up the full allocation, but with costs being reduced now for away fans, this trend will reverse

Interestingly, City offer less than 3,000 at the moment, but somehow get away with it. Maybe due to segregation issues? I don't know.

This is from City's Customer Charter which can be downloaded from <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcfc.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.mcfc.co.uk</a>

A minimum of 1,000 and a maximum of 1,700 tickets will be made available to the visiting supporters on a sale or return basis. A further 1,146 tickets will be made available if ordered at least 4 weeks before the game, generally on a sale only basis.

Is there a link to this brochure? I haven't had a brochure or an email. I'm quite worried about the prices people are quoting as I'm on CB level 2 at the moment.

Think you will only be affected if padded seat. If you are then you should have had a letter. Minimum price for 15/16 will be £1150

Apologies to one and all for the delay in posting the pictures. The pictures give a general overview of the exhibition and specific boards.(I thought maybe of interest?)

Click twice to enlarge pictures. And to read boards.

I'm sure it's already been picked up on, but the stand showing the away fans new seating arrangement is in fact the North/Family Stand and not the South Stand. They away fans layout will be exactly the same in the South Stand, but in the opposite/left hand side.(looking at it)

Far left shaded area, 3000 away fans for PL matches.
Middle Shaded area, additional 6000 away fans, giving 9000 away fans in total for cup games only. If needed?
The right shaded area is home fans, along with the middle shaded area for PL matches.

Looks like we'll be glued to the City Council Planning website towards the end of November then JRB.

The new stadium layout has now been corrected on the OS. I did mention it when I visited the exhibition.

Much clearer now to realise that there are not as many cheap tickets as the light blue suggested.

I will leave others to question whether such a mistake that was allowed to go to print and distribution was genuine (worrying that we could spot it never matched the artist impressions in the same document) or as the cynic in me suspects, more a clever marketing ploy.

Mark my words, even with double end expansion, the amount of £299 tickets will be less than 1000, the other 2500 (estimating 3500 light blue based on correct graphic) light blue will be more in the £449 price bracket.

You're talking bollocks yet again

Amazing how many posts of yours are to put down the club or our attendances

Well perhaps you can explain to me and the rest of the people on here how something as fundamental as the wrong diagram can be released.

Additionally, unless you know how many £299 tickets there are going to be, I hardly think you can claim that my estimate of 1000 at that price is bollocks!

In short I would be interested to hear your clearly informed opinion on both the incorrect diagram and the amount of £299 tickets you see being released.

 

[squirtyflower]

Your opinion is worthless as you are already a long way off with the current situation regarding the £299 tickets
You spread lies and misinformation in this thread and are constantly bemoaning the club, it's fans and it's team in other threads
