    I don't think it's been announced, I've only seen mention of it being this afternoon, but presumably there'll be more details put out shortly.

    I've just seen him saying it's not being streamed, though it's being filmed, so presumably something will be put out later.

    I’m hurt that he believes our posting style is similar. I use punctuation & endeavour to use correct spellings & grammar. You, on the other hand, …

    As part of Ilicali's grand plan to engage a supporter base still scarred by the latter stages of the Allam regime, away supporters will be moved from their current position in the North Stand, and away attendances will be capped at 2,500 in line with EFL regulations. City fans will once again occupy the areas behind both goals, with the new owner determined to create a hostile atmosphere for visiting teams.

    Season ticket prices in seats behind the North and South Stand will cost £300, with an Under-10s ticket free with the purchase of an adult one. Prices in other areas of the stadium will see an increase, with Ilicali highlighting his desire to see as many families as possible come and watch City. The membership scheme will continue but there will be some changes made to the existing system, through a new pricing structure to be revealed later this month.

    Ilicali has called on supporters to back his plans, and though he acknowledges some fans will be frustrated at being asked to move from their preferred seats, he says it will be in the interests of the club moving forward, with vice-chairman Tan Kesler saying the club have consulted with supporters, and that this is 'not an irrational decision' with people sometimes needing to move 'out of their comfort zone'.

    "I want more fans and in order to bring in more fans, we're going to make discounts in ticket prices," he said. "The North and South stands behind the goals will have our fans in, and I want to give our fans that cannot easily afford the budget of yearly season support so that they can come to the stadium.

    "I love it when they chant, it's like listening to the best music in my life. I feel so good when I hear them. I don't want away supporters behind the goals, we are putting our fans behind the goal so that my goalkeeper will not hear the sound of away fans behind him. We've decided to move away fans to the corner and put our fans behind the goal to make a better atmosphere in the stadium.

    "There will be three ticket prices and better pricing options behind the goals so that we can sell them immediately. The other options will see higher prices for other areas. What I want is to get more money from the ones who can afford to help the team and less money from those who cannot afford it so that we can have more people involved.

    "I love kids, I have four daughters and if you ask me what's the best time in my life it's spending time with my daughters - for the kids we did £2 tickets last season, this year it will be zero pounds for them. Kids under the age of 10 will be able to come into the stadium with their parent or carers, there will be no charge, and it will not cost them. They will be our guests. Children are our future."
