New Stadium

[r-u-s-x]

A bit more than that though, as UEFA requires the club to have supporters seated, and the local council also has that requirement.

Sanctions from UEFA, in addition to fines, can include reducing the crowd size for the next 'x' games.


So I hope standing wasn't seen to be too much by UEFA in the ManCity game.......

And :

The legislation relating to standing in football grounds derives from section 11 of the Football Spectators Act 1989: ‘The Secretary of State may, by order, direct the licensing authority to include in any licence to admit spectators to any specified premises a condition imposing requirements as respects the seating of spectators at designated football matches at the premises; and it shall be the duty of the authority to comply with the direction.’

So the ground could be closed if there is persistent standing, especially if the club is seen not to be tryimg to control it.

And standing breaches the ground regulations, alllowing the club to eject standing spectators, and indeed ban them.


So its not as simple as just 'a breach of contract relating to your purchase of a ticket. '

Where are you seeing the UEFA rules? All I see is stadiums must be all seated, can't see punishment for standing

Edit.... Seen it,

... Sandstorm?

Imagine syncing our new stadium lights to Sandstorm

 

[Mrs Perryman]

No that was Gary, Robbie, Mark and Jason, glad to help...

You forgot Howard !

 

[Mrs Perryman]

I've seen this a dozen times now and it still gives me goosebumps!

 

[Mrs Perryman]

This'll be fun with more, let's say, vociferous fans...

They're probably sitting in my seat, as we were moved. They had better not made a mess!!!

Maybe our team should come out to Sandstorm. Stewards can through out glow sticks and maybe the whole stadium switches to blacklights for 1 minute.

Epic

 

[Blanchflower]

All jokes aside the DJ at the new ground deserves a slap, literally UKTop40 with zero thought

Maybe this is part of the plan to get people to sit down

Saw a Man City fan suggest somewhere that we were playing crowd noise over the PA on Tuesday night. Was that true, or was it just that he found it hard to believe that fans in the stadium are capable of making that noise themselves?

Sour grapes. They have absolutely shit support so they don't actually know what a real atmosphere sounds like.

It's a load of bollocks - there wasn't really a point where the crowd was quiet enough for there to the opportunity

I wonder if it was just part of something we played on the screens pre-game then, and he's just being a dick about that, or if he has literally made the whole thing up?

There was a troll on Twitter pretending to be a journalist (he had 82 followers so go figure) that claimed he was at the stadium and the atmosphere was fake and Americanized that Gooners, Spammers & Chavs jumped on & retweeted. He's got it from a fake story/ account and is clinging to it because being gifted a top quality team that wins things out of thin air isn't enough for him. Just laugh in his face and give it back to him as good as he gave it.

Our PA system is loud but not that loud
