If we were to get a billionaire owner what would you want change ?

Rename the stadium - not for sponsorship just something a bit more imaginative, yes we can clearly see it's by the Riverside.:rolleyes:

Name the stands FFS - have no idea why the stands aren't named the suites are can't see why the stands aren't. The Ali Brownlee End, The Wilf Mannion Stand for example.

Try and bridge the gap between club and fans - benefits to your season ticket like a free shirt or a club shop voucher.
 
I'd probably relocate the club to London so I could knock about with the other billionaires and attract some decent players. London Reds or something for the team name.

Make it mandatory for fans to have a massive foam hand to be allowed entry to the stadium to relive the 90's glory days and attract American and Asian day trippers.
 
Strengthen the team. Make the seats padded and more comfortable. Name the stands after legends, ie Slaven or Ali B, so many to choose from so a difficult choice. Tidy up the area surrounding the stadium so fans are not risking their lives crossing busy roads or building sites if possible? make car parking facilities better. Sensible ticket pricing a must, people are not going to pay stupid prices when the teams not scoring goals, not entertaining and in the second tier ( thinking more of JWs term as manager) More bottoms on seats creates a better atmosphere. This will encourage more fans, especially those who find the prices extortionate and may be unemployed or on low wages. Better half time entertainment, just something different. Something that may even involve the away fans? I think 'Me Mark Page' and the guy with the long hair, who sometimes stands in for him, perform a function but a different approach may be required to appeal. Change the half time entertainment every match for variety so the fans don't know what to expect. For the young fans let Roary pick a few children each game to meet the players afterwards?

Now wouldn't that be something, a full stadium every match. Seating in the concourse and dancing girls on pre-match and at half time penalty shoot outs. Throw in a free raffle for good measure and usherette service. Oh and a chair lift to get me up those bloody stairs to my seat in the North Stand!
 
The North Stand or South Stand converted to safe standing and a transit station built on the spare ground behind the east stand. Shuttle buses running to/from town for two hours before and after the match.

Recuperation retreats for season ticket holders in log cabins at the Lake District.

An annual Faberge Egg Hunt in Albert Park.

the return of The Beggs Bus Company for away travel.

Recuperation retreats, that made me laugh.
After some of the stuff we've watched towards the end of Karaka's reign and after, we definitely needed something.

Vibrating, massage seats.

I would also like to add for the North Stand regulars, video replays of previous goals on the big screen, just so we can remember what it's like to see a ball go into the net!

When you see what big money has done to Man City and the surrounding area it is superb. A blot on the landscape has been transformed. It should happen to the Middlehaven site.

It would take more than one billionaire owner to sort out the Middlehaven site.

I'd want the works, everything that is wrong with modern football.

- Sell the hotel and training complex, build one near that London, and a private plane to fly the squad in and out.
- Super agent bringing in players.
- Couple of thousand seater stadium built next to the ground for training and reserve matches.
- Boutique hotel at the ground for the players pre/post match stays and guests / weddings at other times.
- Tie in deals & joint ownership with Perth Glory, Inter Miami and some second division Spanish, German & Italian teams, swapping and loaning in and out youth players and internationals to get round work permit restrictions.
- Tie in deal with RedBull, naming rights on Stadium, new strips design, away strips in RedBull drinks can design.
- A new club badge, a raging red bull being squared up to by a rampant blue lion under the Transporter bridge.
- Club shops in the far east and extensive pre-season tours there.
- Exclusive cub merchandise from Under Armour or Nike.
- Ex- International player and media darling as Manager, "our next match is Frank Lampard's Middlesbrough RedBulls taking on everyones favourite second team, the great entertainers, Leeds United"
- Stadium upgrades, more screens, longer bars, new toilets, outdoor smoking veranda, a palm tree lined causeway to the town centre.
- Sponsorship deals with thousands of random companies, MFC only uses Hewlett Packard facsimile machines , paper and toner, Castrol GTX, the official engine oil of Frank Lampards RedBull army, you can wipe like Frank & the boys with Andrex moistened towelettes etc. etc.

Actually the more I think about it, I'd love it.

Andrex moistened towelettes?
Always liked the idea of having loo roll printed with NUFC logos for wiping my ar$e

The ground relocated nearer to M'bro station and the northernmost stand roof to be supported by a replica of the Tyne bridge.

And the team's shirts to have no logos or ads, or players' names.. and players boots to be all the same colour (actually forget the last one because that doesn't cost owt).

Or relocate the station closer to the ground

Indeed move the station, but I was thinking of improving the setting, given that the redevelopment of Middlehaven looks disappointing after all this time...for 'station' read town centre. Anyway it's just fantasy atm.
