Stadium Expansion email

[SWP's back]

How will this affect the out of town City fans who go to say 10 games a season? Will it mean more seats going over to Corporate and less available to say blue membership card holders? It pisses me off when I can't buy tickets for games when we see so many empty seats - I can see this getting worse following the ground extension.

More seats = less availability?

How does that work?

My question was more seats for whom? If it means some more seats to go on open sale in the weeks before the game then great. But the wording of the email says:

This proposed expansion of the stadium will allow the club to introduce a new season ticket for £299, and to double its hospitality offer too, from 2,500 corporate seats to 5,000.

Perhaps there will be addtional seats but I was asking if this would be the case as it's not specifically mentioned as the objective of this proposal.

That reads to me that there will be an additional 2,500 corporates. Therefore another 4,500 "Normal" tickets?

Does it not to you?

So it gets even worse - so if we moved we would have to sit with 4500 daytripping JCL's ;)

Does it say anywhere that there will be more "match day" tickets available for as a result of the expansion? The way I read it is that corporate tickets will double and the remaining seats (once fans have been relocated) will be for season tickets.

Ok, why don't we just put the price of season tickets up by £50 per person(£1.8m extra on 36k season tickets). Do away with the £299 season ticket. Get full paying customers in there seats.(500 at £299 increased to £550 means another £125,500)
Or just make every season ticket £780 like mine and everyone pays the same for the same football match!!!

Scrap the family stand, make parents pay full price for the kid. It sits in a seat we can sell at a higher rate also.

sort of agree with the sentient but a more practical approach in my view as I hate subsidising other people's sproglets would be to charge kids a higher proportion as they get older

so if the idea is you encourage kids to the ground so they will stay as life long fans then@ 5 yrs 10% of cost 8 yrs 20% 10 years 30% increasing up to 18 so that parents and yoof can plan in advance knowing they will have to make choices about what they spend their money on

Thats way when a young person gets to 18 they know they will have to pay full price but would have had 15 years notice much fairer way to share the costs and deals with the for me, the annoying issue of subsidies to both rich and poor parents, who benefit already by getting tax breaks and family allowance type payments.


+ if as I am sure you do and I do have to earn our money they might be less cavalier about wasting a seat valued at £700 by not turning up if there was a financial loss as result of non attendance

Think we should bring in fines for no shows also.

To the north stand mover at Maine Road. I have been moved many times by development at that ground. I actually ended up sitting in all four stands.

Indeed if it was your dentist and you failed to run up it would cost you lol

have you got a really big arse?

Yes.

Well I won't be there, so they will win. Once-a-season suits will get the best view in the house.

Had a season ticket for 25 years - through the shit and the dross. Will probably jack it in when it does happen - kids (8 year season card & 4 year season card) will be disappointed but its not just about watching the match - it's a social thing as well, we have a great crowd around us that have great banter which is a big part of my "match day experience" which will be lost if we are forced to move. Shame really .

Arrange to all move together

doubt they do that it they will be treated like the pacific islanders who got shifted for american bombers<br /><br />-- Fri Jul 12, 2013 10:56 am --<br /><br />

I think this is what will happen, season tickets and corporates in the new tier, matchday availability remains as now.

Are we sure about that, I was getting the impression that the new corporate seats were in Level 2 East and West either side of the existing corporate blocks.

When I get forced to move i'd like to have a seat from one of these " Let's go forward" or "So what" crew. They'd soon be kicking off on here if that happened
