' VERY IMPORTANT REGARDING CCFC STADIUM? '

Sun Jun 22, 2014 10:00 am

I have had a number of fans tell me in the past couple of days that our club are NOT opening the new tier for next season and they are relocating the fans, up to 700 City fans,who have purchased season tickets for up there to other parts of the ground.

Has anyone else heard this ?

Is it just gossip or is it true ?

Maybe Steve Borley can clarify it on here or if anyone who follows him on twitter could ask him.

If the new tier is empty then will it seem we play in a red stadium to people who don't know better. Maybe a clever move by dictator Tan? Or am i reading too much into it?

Makes sense to keep it closed, because they ain't gonna fill it week in week out.
There will obviously be overheads if they use it...
....I suppose the Debt police will be happy.

I would expect a move like that from the madman, Trust me he hates us more than anyone realises. He will stop at nothing to be the meglomaniac. Its all about saving face. Be afraid, be very afraid. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Common sense to keep it shut,if the rest of the stadium ain't sold out,saves money at the end of the day

I told Simon Lim,Wayne Nash and Julian Jenkins back in May, that it should not open as it will make the stadium look even more empty and less atmosphere. Nash said then, Tan wanted it open no matter what, change of mind?

Good idea really to save on unnecessary stewarding and kiosk staff. If by miracle we are regularly pulling 23,000+ throughout the season, there's no reason why they couldn't open it on a one off for the big games at the end of the season

maybe the cost of stewarding etc....easy option is to keep it closed :ayatollah:

makes sense, only open it when we are sold out in other areas. but cant see tan not having it open

I know that they are taking the fans that have lurches day season ticket up in the new tier for next season for a tour of the new tier next month sometime.

I think it was a silly idea to expand so early, if we had become a stable premier league club then 100% go ahead and expand I'm sure consistently competing in the top league would see us draw in crowds of 33,000+ but to do it in a season when we were never sure of our fate was daft in my opinion, what's wrong with waiting ? what's wrong with making sensible decisions at the right times ?

If this is true then to me it looks like they are having a rethink of putting red seats in there.

Ian, now that would be interesting as Steve Borley and Steve Davies have both set they are Red and Steve Davies has said they had already gone through customs to get here. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Carl, Wayne Nash at this very moment in time, it is on course to still stay open for Championship games, Tan says he still wants it open.

They have cleared customs and are on their way to the stadium annis. They are red simple as that and people can try and talk themselves into believing something else but it's red and I also believe at this moment the ayatollah pattern is going in.

If so it's a complete joke and shows how badly run our club is once again!

Will not be happy about being unless its back to my old seat in the Ninian lower teire.

Our club is run by a bunch of f*cking idiots!

Me and my mate will be sat up there next season. Neither of us have heard anything about being relocated.

Bollocks story.
