I'm a city fan so it's new to me!

Hopefully we'll get a decent draw!

Same here mate.

I remember standing at Bootham Crescent over 11 years ago , watching us lose to York City in Division two, near Christmas time, thinking we would be lucky to stay afloat...now fast forward 11 years and we have all of this!

I do miss the £10 tickets though  :grin:

What do you guys think to your new stadium?

I do miss Maine Road, but it was falling down, apart from the newly built Kippax and Umbro Stand, the other two were very old and looking it too. Plus with only 32,000 seats, was to small, even back in Div 2 we were getting around 29.000 a week

I hope we keep this new one at 48,000 though , as any bigger, we will get to many new fans wanting to come just as we are doing well and I would hate that. Around the ground is awesome now though, with the City Square, new metrolink coming in. So all looking good

I couldnt agree less. I (as an away fan) felt it was really soul-less. Its nice and clean and modern but there was a distinct lack of atmosphere. Agree with you about it getting any bigger, there were already enough fans sitting in silence not getting behind your team. There was only a little corner near where we were making any noise.

Who are you hoping to avoid then? You dont want Dortmund or Napoli really from pot 4   :wink:

To be honest mate, I find the same quite atmosphere at every ground I visit now, bar maybe Stoke. I agree though, it can be too quite at times there. I remember a few season back, with Stuart Pearce in charge, the atmosphere was so bad, they even tried pipping crowd noise through the tannoy system, which did not go down well!

Not fussed who we get, even if we get Barca ect. Have to play all the big teams at one stage or another. Would love a German team, as always a good away trip and maybe a Spanish one too, nice weather!

The atmosphere's a lot better than it used to be, be even better with the likes of barca etc coming, i think they'll expand it up to 60,000 over the next few years.
