The Worldwide Commercial Enterprise Continues - 10 years on

[salford city]

Just reading the Beeb's take on this. Premiership clubs dominate richest in the world. Admittedly; it does show a pic of KDB but would the headline have read differently if one of the two red shite's had topped the list? Answers on a postcard to the address at the foot of your screen. YOU BITTER CNUTS

Quelle fucking surprise!! Wonder how much the beeb are getting directly never mind indirectly for pushing the double red shite agendas. They must have to review every article that shows us in a positive light and have someone spin it - fucking love it

I wonder if the club realise we’re still a working class fan base? Carling Cup games on a weeknight we’re barely filling. Why extend it to give other fans more of a stick to beat us with? Build all the lovely stuff outside it, but we’re not ready for a 60k seater stadium yet.

need to address all of that through ticket prices

To be fair, they were giving CC tickets away for hardly anything the other year and we still struggled. I’m sure it ended up being a 2-4-1 on tickets. Schools got a bunch of them for free.

I think we’re another 10-15 years off needing a stadium of that size.

They'll try and pad it out with tourists. A museum and a hotel is not intended for local season ticket holders, is it.

Stadium and trophy room tour, club shop to drop £700 on a DSquared puffer jacket, fanzone games, enjoy a pre-match audio recording of Blue Moon, film KDB taking a corner, stare at a man doing the Poznan on his own, celebrate our 8-0 win with 80 selfies, head to the City Square Juice Bar, then spend the night in the Kinky Suite.

If it possible, i will definitely get four season tickets. You will not believe the number of times i am asked to get tickets for the matches and it makes perfect sense to stay in a hotel next to the Stadium , Why not ? Btw there are enough City expats in the CH club always wanting a trip back home to a game. Which is currently becoming more and more difficult. Also Hospitality prices are just a joke . Of course there are many people from other countries wanting to see City, Success breeds popularity. If locals can't be arsed to go and see City , don't blame City for wanting to fill the stadium. Season tickets are cheaper than the Fags people smoke per year.

We will fill 60000 for virtually all PL games. Easily. And the CL most likely. Domestic cups not so much. But they are not why the stadium would be expanded.

I'd actually suggest adding a further tier or increasing the existing third tier on the east stand. Maybe upping the capacity to 70000 or so. Think big. It wouldn't necessarily be filled every PL game, maybe half of them, but it sends the message of a big club mentality.

Build it and they will come

If you mean me DHTP, well, tomorrow , yes I will be at the Allianz arena. Also at Webbbbbley on Saturday.

Although i must admit, i have a very heavy work schedule , since 2020.
Actually it does make it hard to get to games.
I would like to see more live games though and i can't wait for the Stadium expansion to be complete.
Our owners are very classy and astute Business people. The Etihad complex becomes an all year round events complex. Brilliant.

[CTID Hants]

This just popped on my FB memories something i posted 8 years ago today, ironic that the club officially announce more investment

They will get bored and leave they said, remind me, what clubs are being whored out the highest bidder??

I meant Carl, obv. Because if he does swing by, he's likely to think that the atmosphere is a bit shit and that the stadium is full of tourists/day trippers/hospitality guests who do nothing to make it less shit. 7,000 more seats will not make the atmoshere better, even if we do have a DJ and a laser show before kick off.

See you at Wembley, Zuri. Weather might be bobbins but should be a laugh.

Yep, i'll be the one with the Cow Bell hanging around my neck.
Tomorrow, i'll be recognisable wearing my Schwarzwald Cuckoo clock hat, complete with lederhosen.

Oh and btw , Bloody betting on Yaya , Carl still hasn't stumped up the two beers,

Odd thing, but it’ll bring in a few quid I’m sure

When I visit the UK I usually try go to an away game, if its against one of the London clubs......much better atmosphere away than there ever will be at home.
To be honest I have been away far more times than I ever have at home during my lifetime and enjoyed it so much more..Just about every City fan character is at away matches.

Very happy to increase my chances of seeing live games. Don't give a shit if its not full to capacity every single game
