WHEN the football bubble bursts, and corporate types no longer see football as the done thing, who then supports the club? You think all the pissed off supporters who were charged a fortune for seats, shifted about at will, treated like dogs etc etc will come flooding back?!
The whole infrastructure getting to the ground away from the ground (by car, tram or bus) getting in the ground,buying a pint at the ground , a pie at the ground is a downright fucking shambles. End of.

What's it like living in a cave?What I want to know Is the corporate block in SS2 behind the goal was only a third full with 5 minutes of the second half played. The hospitality must be that good that the plastic ****s would rather feed their bellies with some posh grub, rather than feasting on the delights of Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne etc.
I didn't realise prawn sandwiches tasted that good.
Absolutely agree.
Impossible to get a pint at half time in the new south stand unless you miss some of first half or miss some of second. They dont even relay the match so you can at least watch the action whilst in the queue.......so i dont bother - there loss!!
I had to laugh at that.
The club said they "redirected fans to another entrance".
actually they just opened a gate and let hundreds of fans charge towards it.
I'm a 30 year season ticket holder and it takes a lot for me to criticise the club - i hate to do it - but today was just inexcusable.
I don't sit with my 'mate' you numpty and couldn't care less whether they build a fish tank for rich jcls or not, my complaint which you refuted, was about the treatment of fans and how the match day experience, sic, is worseningI am not disagreeing per se. When the corporate suits are planning our growth as a club they are planning ultimately for a 76,000 seater stadium. Improved transport links (desperately needed) and the development of the "eastern gateway". Essentially the development of new Islington, ancoats, holt town, the wider campus site and ultimately Manchester bid for the expo expedition which I think is in 2030 which Our owners are heavily in partnership with Manchester council on. They have a longer term investment for the wider area which will in time see us playing in an incredible arena. They are hard nosed businessmen. Unfortunately maybe they are not sat worrying that Squirty has sat with his mate in the same place for ten years and wil have to move. They couldn't give a fuck. They are basically saying that is collateral damage for the juggernaught of the longer term vision. The longer term plan is not to have only 500 corporate seats on a Lower tier that holds 25000 people and I can understand that. There does seem to have been a few minor fuck ups with things like the Celtic queue and the piss poor management of the turnstiles today but they will just have a review next week and implement some improvements. That is not the big issue here.

Evidenced by all but a blinkered few.
Complaints about the concession stands, queues to get in, reduction of toilets whilst increasing capacity, car parks and security are all legitimate causes for concern.
I'm not on about corporate in CB or East stand ya smarmy ****. In case you're not aware, I've regularly left my cave since 2003 to attend games. But the block I was on about has only been corporate this(possibility last as well) season.What's it like living in a cave?
The corporate seats in the CB and East stands have been virtually empty for the first five minutes of the second half every match since we moved from Maine Road in 2003.
It's a good job breathing is an involuntary body function requiring no brain cells or you'd be dead.Good job the football is brilliant.
It's almost like a ministry of truth article.And the article failed to mention the building of the glass tunnel and the way that cuts off access via one of the turnstiles, which was also a factor yesterday.

We could move away fans from level one now. Very few teams take all three levels anyway.Just a question, where do entrances W & S let you into? I only ask as if it's into level 1 why can those who used to have access to P & Y not have access through these so Y & W for one side and P & S for the other. I am asking as I genuinely am not aware what they are for just assumed they were for corporate but surely corperate can enter from the main entrance and walk round.
Secondly, if this is going to be the norm for the future(it is said the wall is temperary for the season but why not use partitions rather than build a wall if thats the case), maybe the away fans need to be moved from the bottom tier next season to free up turnstlies, again just a suggestion.
What could they have done to stop 100's of fans charging for an open gate ?
Are those fans not at fault for not patiently walking towards the open gate or are they to thick and fucking stupid needing to be reminded of a Hillsborough style crush.
That was the hyperbole you wanted from your suggestive comment right ?
When I met my youngest daughter at the game yesterday she asked me who Tim of the oak was?Harsh that mate
