Not a massive deal for us as last season we were in lower west anyway. I know others feel differently though.

The full details will be released next week and until then there will only be guesswork. He may well have to pay more to stay in his seat.
Yeah,he's hoping that something will change dramatically,I'm trying to set him up for disappointment.Shame really,he 'earned his stripes' already.
The older supporters concerns have been put forward and there may well be something, but as OLM has said, if supporters are willing to move, they could save money. That is the key.
He understands that there are concession zones,but out of all of us that go,I'm guessing that he'd be the only one eligible to get in one of these zones.Appreciate the feedback by the way.
I think the fact that many people don't go to City in isolation to just watch the football, but to also enjoy sharing the social occasion with people they've shared it with for years, and the group won't all be able to move near each other and peripheral groups, or potentially even in the same stand, is a significant factor that seems to be being played down. There are people that themselves are not directly affected, but the people around them, who they've watched grow and shared their personal issues, are liable to be either priced out altogether, or forced to move, possibly not as a group, leaving them and the unaffected person considering if they'll bother to renew. Several generations considering walking away, with no generations following should be a considerable factor in the announced revisions. God knows how they reached this position in the first place. It's far from ideal, but one option of minimising the social disruption could be to open the concourse so that there was free movement at the back between E4 right round to N4 or 5
The club have not released any information, other than they have listened and have come up with alternatives. As you know I moved to the North Stand having been a flasker for a few years. I has changed my matchday experience, but to be honest it would not suit every one and I don't know if long term it will suit. I enjoy it, but I really miss my tartan rug! I still have my own reservations about any change, as would anyone and you know that I have looked into the price structure in as much detail as I could. But I cannot measure the social aspect. Financially, membership is a step in the right direction and I give it my full support. The zoning is again, I believe a step in the right direction, as it will enable a true family stand.
I'm waiting to see exactly what the scheme is before I get too excited one way or the other, but I completely agree that the group/social element is a vitally important one. Enough groups were split up / disaffected when the East Stand evictions happened. Certainly our group never recovered that. I'm pretty sure that if we'd have stayed there we would all be stood in the same 5 seats today, regardless of all the other crap that contributed to ill feeling. As it is there are only 2 of us bothering to go today. I sincerely hope that whatever eventually comes out doesn't create that situation for other groups
Other than some restrictions on age for the families moving into the South Stand, I'm not expecting much in the way of restrictions on what zone you can sit in, I think everyone will potentially have access to all price zones.
All passes are going to cost £17.80 for the season, but you have to have a selfie taken with AA that will be on the outside of your pass to avoid kids tickets being used for adults, even though they're the same price There will be a free pie under your seat forever if you sign up by tomorrow, in person I'm still not happy despite the huge price decrease...I just don't know why yet
****ing hell tomorrow!!! i always miss out on freebies. Whats your opinion on Mojjito´s and Daiquaris Dennis??
Concessions are not being reinstated, though it seems something is being done to make sure families are not paying any more than they were before. Fact is, until the full details are released, we don't really know what's being amended.
Not a big fan of the Daiquari, although I quite like a Mojito If I'm that type of mood though I tend to go for a Margarita as long as it's made with decent (100% agave) silver tequila Just eating leftover pizza at the moment..I could go a nice Margarita now!
Not a big fan of zones, including family zones. Part of the attraction of watching City as a child was meeting my mam's friends and hearing them talk about City. It sounds like you will be able to sit anywhere as long as we have the money, otherwise you'll have to find a seat in the cheaper zones, that's if you are old or have children. Another piece of panelling for the coffin that City is becoming.
