Stadium Expansion email

[Tim of the Oak]

I didnt hear much sympathy from people from other parts of the stadium when the north stand was reallocated the family stand and people had to relocate

At the time I was told the club needed to do what it needed to do and I just had to put up with it and I would still be able to have a seat so yeah the stadium is full of "Im alright Jack" types but listen to those same people moan when changes affect them

Unless you can prove they were the same people, your point is null and void.

Chesterguy. I got moved from the North stand as well so your point about people taking an "I'm alright Jack" stance is wide of the mark.

i suspect despite the legit concerns on here about some people moving its not a personal attack by MCFC on select groups of Fans its simply chance.

What we could do as group of MCFC fans is make sure the dispossessed get a warm welcome wherever they end up after the changes

they are part of our wider City Family and those staying put should reflect on what we can do to make the move as pain free as possible

The club are selling our loyalty to corporate, everyone talks about atmosphere, making both the East stand and Colin bell stand level 2 all corporate, will make things worse. Expand yes, move forward, yes, but why not put corporate in the new stand plus new and welcomed supporters in the new stand, then no one need move. Also the club can spread the corporates, to stop creating dead areas. When we play the lesser games these areas are always empty or full of non supporters. Even on big games they are never full. People talk about City having no history, but there is one thing the rest of football know, is the loyalty of all of us, we should all stick together, and stop having a go at one another.

Yes I agree Percy. I would just add that disagreeing with how Tim Glick and other middle management see the the stadium expansion plans - as mainly to boost corporate JCL numbers / income - is not the fans against the Club or other supporters. It is sound football and business sense to move forward as a club with us the fans at the centre of the plans. Can't wait to see the corporates in the new third tier chanting and clapping We Shall Not be Moved.

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

fine with me fella. Im in 301.

 

[DavidChubs]

Are there any actual plans that can be viewed ? I've missed them if there are.

I sit in 204

I get the whole expansion plan and building up revenue and they have my support like all blues to do what it takes to bring entertaining and winning football to the Etihad.

But kicking city fans out of their seats is wrong for a number of reasons:

1. Many of these city fans have been watching city for years we should have a voice.
2. We will be penalised by being put in the third tier behind a goal
3. What sort of city fans are going to sit in our place, the type who turnup in January to watch a league cup game I dont think so.
4. I already pay a lot of money for my seat, why isant that enough

Thought I’d bump this thread as what’s happened to L2 East stand, padded seats, is inevitable for level 1 when the expanded north stand is completed
We’ll be looking down admiring all those half and half scarves

I suspect you're right.

I've been in 105 since the stadium opened but will move to the new NSL2 if (and when) I'm priced out.
