I thought it very odd that the lower tier had sold out

Lower tier usually sells out quickly - well those seats behind the goal anyway. The sides normally take longer due to higher pricing but this is the CS where pricing is reasonable (£45 each for those side seats on L1) as opposed to the FA Cup final where they’re £145 each.

Could be. I’m hearing on the grapevine that the newly formed branch of the Highbury & Islington MCFC supporters club has had a sizeable application of 12,500 tickets approved by City. I’m not sure how the application got through as it was on Arsenal headed notepaper and was signed off by a Mr Tony Adams and some bloke called Troopz…..

Shall I just say I know ;-). Interesting too that although you won't believe it, there are dozens, hundreds in fact of unsold seats across the bottom tier.

Think of it like this..... Imagine one interested party (who's authority is being challenged) saying to another , that to ensure your sales and the attendance is higher, concentrate on selling the cheaper seats.

Has the penny not dropped as to why there is not a single Level 1 or Level 2 seat for sale! Do you really think there is not even a single seat left in those areas?

I'll leave it there before I give too much away.

If CatMan was a train station, he would be.....

AFTV are also pushing seats sales in the City end.

So let me get this right from your subtle clues, the FA have spoke to city and said ‘sack the L1 and L2 sales and get the cheap tickets sold quick so the sales go better’ and city have gone ok no probs well stop sales in the lower tiers that the fans like and can actually get cheap for once and only sell L5? Is that it? If so I’ve never heard such bollocks !

So to those who doubted. Isn't it amazing how a block you all thought you knew better and said had sold out, despite me saying different, is now on sale with 500+ seats to sell. That's block 528 and don't ask me how I know there are many more, but trust me there are

Block 528 was on sale, and has comeback on sale, the-half of block 528 towards the half way line is now selling, after that block 529 will appear and that is the last block of the allocation. City always fill areas before releasing more areas, i imagine no more than 1200/1300 left, unless the fa release more as there are a lot of seats that will be made available to sponsors in both ends
