The reason the premier league teams get so much money to pay superstar wages is the unique atmosphere in the grounds which is predominantly generated by the away fans. If it wasnt for the away fans you wouldnt have the chance to pretend you are supporting the team from your armchair.I think if you do the maths you will find we are the lifeblood of the game. It is the TV money which pays the superstars wages not some one who pays £40 quid for an away ticket
They're only £30 now mate and without us who are prepared to put ourselves out now and again football would be a pretty sterile piece of entertainment.I think if you do the maths you will find we are the lifeblood of the game.

So you think it's acceptable to move games to times which make it impossible for fans to get to and from on public transport? Where are these 'plenty' willing to take my place for Swansea away?You have mis read my post. I was not knocking the away support. If you have a problem putting yourself out as you say, don’t go, there are plenty wishing to take your place. The problem is those that moan about times and dates because they feel they have the exclusive rights to see City live at a time and date that suits them
What have I misread and where have I moaned about it, yes as a match going supporter I would have preferred Boxing Day afternoon 3pm for sure rather than quarter to eight the day after(for one it gets me out of going for tea at the Mother in Laws). While I see the need for TV money and the fact that people actually want to watch us, to shaft us with Swansea away, Newcastle away and Crystal Palace New years eve is a bit OTT. to keep the sky box season remote holders happy.You have mis read my post.

erm let me explain. there is ONE set of fans put out like this every year. ONE club is targeted every year. no fans from any club should be kicking off 200 miles away on NYE. no fans should have to travel 200 miles to Newcastle for a night match over the holidays when EVERY OTHER TEAM players on HOLIDAY DAY. a few years ago we played Swansea away at noon on nyd. that's plain wrong. this year even the new years day game, a home blockbuster, is moved to a night match when everyone is back at work. so you go and sit in your smug fucking armchair, you are not the lifeblood, you are a drain on the game. I hope you have a fucking power cut.You have mis read my post. I was not knocking the away support.

I'd be very surprised if it went that low.
