What on earth do you all expect,? Back to an old Maine Rd Scoreboard end getting pissed on because you didn't take an umbrella with you?
The club has become very, very successful through great management. Stadium expansion and hotel makes for an enjoyable experience. If Roy Castle still did the record breakers program for kids to watch , city would be on it almost all the time.
Have a beer under the stands at Coms in comfort and compare that to the fire trap that the swamp is .
Extra seats to be sold next season. Let us see if they are given to season ticket holders.
My understanding of the extra seats is that they are non season ticket ? IF that was the case, I could see that new tier being totally day trippers
I'm sure that's what they want. The place has been tourist central for the last few years, The half and half scarves outnumber the City scarves.
It was always going to happen though, City probably have a hardcore of 30-35k matchgoing fans, which leaves 15 to 20k seats to fill. Take away 5k for a full away end, there's still 10-15k. With the club making silly money from these seats, it's not surprising what they're doing.
We all used to call the swamp the Theatre of Tourists (amongst other things). The truth is any top level consistently successful football club automatically becomes a tourist destination.
We're victims of our own (or the club's) success.
100% this Pat. I remember a lad who still goes home and away with Utd telling me it would come to us. He was not wrong
