Manchester City Unveil Redesigned South Stand Concourse Area - fcbusiness

Manchester City has unveiled a redesigned concourse area in the South Stand of the Etihad Stadium as part of its ongoing commitment to enhance the matchday experience for fans. The Club has carried out extensive works over the summer period including a complete redesign of an area of the...

Money aside it shows how much clubs think of their support on matchday experience. Our concourses are a mess.

I just hope one day our club fund and redevelop concourses that they can. Expansion of these are imperative to next stage of matchday experience after edmiston house, fan zone and sports bar

 

[Mynameismud]

Looks nice aye but for me, I couldn't care less what the concourse looks like. I'm there to watch the game.

[Gibraltar Loyal]

We've got pictures up of players wearing hummer ffs

 

[napierblue]

What they do for fans down there is class, one day hopefully we can do the same. However, it is important to note that they can afford to do that and sign Haaland at the same time. We have to prioritise players over most other expenses, that’s what keeps us winning and sadly we don’t have a bottomless cash pit to dip into.

 

[The Union Flag]

They’re on a different planet to us financially. They might spend afew million redeveloping. Afew million to us could be the difference between success or not. And we all know what it feels like when we’re unsuccessful

That doesn't wash with people in 2022 tbh.

If I’d have told my dad or uncle I never enjoyed my match day experience I’d have got a kick in the bollocks and never took back

Personally I really don’t care but only my opinion. Winning team on the park is what I want

 

[Liviger1984]

Be nice to have unlimited money to be able to do stuff like this to Ibrox

 

[Kinbo]

They need to attract fans. We have a waiting list

 

[Jose Calypso]

Our concourses and toilets are a mess

But not all for the the club. A lot of fans treat the concourses and toilets with utter contempt.

 

[MYR_93]

It’s all aimed at the one off punter on a day trip who will come away thinking ‘aw that was nice’

I’d hazard a guess at majority of football fans not really caring what the concourse looks like.

They are run by billionaires money is no problem to thrm

The kind of tit that goes to a game and has to take a picture of whatever he gets to eat in the ground.

 

[Clydebuilt_UK]

It clearly does though with certain people as that's the guys opinion and he's literally just said he couldn't care less...

 

[Tagsbear]

The set up at the Etihad is top class, even the bars outside, so simple but works great.

 

[Sensible Head]

My match day experience as a kid was standing outside the pub eating peanuts while my dad was inside getting a pint
And I wouldn't change it for the world

You know what I mean, footballs changed, we need to change with it.

 

[Blues and Royals]

They’re the one big club in England that actually lacks tourists. But hey, you’ll get kudos from the online anonymous.

 

[Loyal72]

All I can see here is that they've spent a shitload of cash making a fanzone.

We've got one at half the price, and am sure we could fire a DJ booth into the new Edmiston House.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

The toilets at half time are like a mocked up scene in a fire safety video

. . . . . and they're looking at expanding their stadium.

Would you want that for your kid though?

Cos I certainly wouldn't.

 

[Main Stand]

The toilets at half time are like a mocked up scene in a fire safety video

Tuesday was the first time I’d seen folk smoking in the toilets where I sit. Pain in the arse, hate the stuff and couple with being an asthmatic, it’s a nuisance and needs stamped out.

 

[Gameboy]

Not bad when you playing the richest league in the world and you’ve got one of the richest owners in the world.

I can guarantee now if we did that and couldn’t spend it on players everyone would go mental at the board.

 

[PMG1872]

I’d beg to differ on personal experience but I’ll take your word for it!

 

[Stivenstoune]

When we can make money out of a concession stand selling beer and wine investment might be made, there wont be much invested under the current sales model.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Man City “fans” are tourists!

Correct. South Stand at the Etihad is easiest stand in the EPL to get tickets for at short notice. I know.

 

[20rangersultras07]

Man City “fans” are tourists!

That’s just nonsense. City have always had a big following.

[Dundee_Ger]

It's disappointing if we think all money and effort should go on the pitch. Yes, it should be a priority and should take most of the investment BUT if we want kids, families and supporters of the future to come to games instead of watching on TV then we have to invest in the 'experience'. We're not going to match Man City investment but surely toilets, paint having decent food & drink isn't beyond us. We are/aspire to be one of the best in Europe. Let's set ALL our standards there.

 

[mdingwall]

Looks shit.

 

[Blues and Royals]

I’d beg to differ on personal experiences but I’ll take your word for it!

They don’t get flights in from Oslo or plane loads and ferries from Dublin unlike the gruesome twosome.
And going by experience after a game at the Etihad, the city centre pubs are rammed with fans with local accents. But of course, one Japanese guy down in the front row caught on tv classifies the whole fanbase as ‘ tourists ‘.

 

[blue genes]

Don't think that looks good at all - an ugly design

Remember they inherited that Stadium,it was built for the Commonwealth Games,then the Arab money came in,i passed it daily,its a soulsess monstosity.

’Peanuts’- you lucky c@nt. You came from money

 

[aghalee_hero]

give me soul like ours or give me a fucking plastic cinema experience like that? tough choice...

 

[Barca bears]

Looks shit.

Maybe so but it's the concept. Club invests in its facilities for its fans. I know we are in certain aspects but Ibrox has been neglected for years its taking us years to get it back up to scratch but concourses are a disgrace

 

[Sir Know it All]

Albertz posters or GTF

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Aye but do they have pictures of Chris Burke in the toilets over 15 years later?

No. We are the true trailblazers

 

[WinkieWATP]

Was thinking that myself

Da was a oli rigger lol

We have been scrimping and saving to get a team together to compete. Would you really swap 55 and Seville for a better “match day experience”.

When I first started going at 5/6 I would stand outside the red lion, then the old festival bar then the bookies before getting to the game.

That might sound shite to some people but I fucking loved it and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I get times have changed but I when I read posts on here regards the match day experience I sometimes feel like a really old man. I’m only 42 years old

 

[Bada-Bing]

Da was a oli rigger lol

2 weeks oan, 2 weeks aff. Loadsamoney!

Haha salty! There was more than one and shock….Manchester pubs filled with Mancunians!

I always love it on here when someone tries to tell you what you saw and what happened on your own personal experience of something!

Also they can recoup some of the money selling alcohol which I don't think we'd be allowed to do

 

[deBoersHeader]

We could do this but it would mean we wouldn't have a winning team on the pitch who can compete in Europe.

Anyway they are soulless fans in a soulless stadium. I wouldn't swap Ibrox for it.
