'Handled it better this time' or 'loyal fans passed over for new money'?

We asked for your views on the proposed stadium expansion and the introduction of the City Hall bar area in the North Stand, which could force season ticket holders to be relocated.

Here are some of your comments:

Charlie: I think the club gets way too much stick. They've put a load into improving the ground, and all the new bits they're adding show they're actually trying to make it better. People love to say it's all for the tourists, but all that helps us bring in the best players at the end of the day. It looks class, and the new bars are for the premium season ticket lads, which you can't really knock. Different from when they did West. It's not ideal that some fans have to move, but I think the club's handled it better this time. I'm looking forward to seeing it all when it's done.

David: Again, established season ticket holders being asked to move for so-called new fans that only go to matches because of recent success. Where were they 15 years ago? As one of those being asked to move, I remember City saying when we move from Maine Road you would sit with everyone you had made friends with. This is the second time in 15 years I've been asked to move. Seems to be typical of top-flight clubs these days. Loyal fans passed over for new money.

Ian: Four in our family are all affected by this. The email from City says "you will have first choice on any available general admission seat in the Etihad Stadium". Not until the end of the season will we know where these are. Four tickets next to each other on any of the lower tiers seems implausible to me. We have to accept City are a business and increasing revenue is a priority over the feelings of the average fan. Probably won't renew and will watch the games on TV. There are bound to be spare tickets for sale if I do want to take a game as the increased capacity will not sell out.
