Not really.
Everybody will always be grateful for what Sheikh Mansour has done for the club. That has been posted over and over again. And will always be.
There are many reasons.
8 season ticket price rises in the last 9 seasons isn't good. Last seasons season ticket price freeze was only brought about by the CL PSG ticket price rise backlash.
My season ticket was originally £450. Now it's £665. That's nearly a £25 rise per season for that last 9 seasons, give or take.
Next season some season ticket prices have been kept the same(£299), while other season ticket prices have gone up. What's the logic in that? Divide and conquer? City either freeze the ticket prices for everyone, or they increase the season ticket prices for everyone. Don't starting dividing the fans.
Fans have once again been moved to make way for another executive development. The tunnel club. £15K? That's hot on the heels of the Family stand and level 2 corporate moves.
On top of that tiered block pricing was introduced. A difference in 1 row could set you back £200+ compared to the row in-front. Why? Another way to drive revenue.
The growing distance between the people running the club and the fans. It wasn't like this when we move to the Etihad. And when Sheikh Mansour first bought the club. But it has slowly but surely crept in. Why? That's coming from the people running the club. As a club we've never been like that. And we certainly weren't when Gary Cook was in-charge.
Wasting £10's millions/£100's millions on players like Bony, Mangala, etc, while trying to claw back £500K/£750K in a pointless season ticket price rise.
I could tell you something you wouldn't believe when it comes to wasting money at City. But I'd get somebody into trouble.
No wonder the matchday running costs at the club need to be covered by season ticket price rises. Apparently?
The list goes on.
The fact that Khaldoon has touched on this matter during his end of season interview, and now the email survey, etc, points to the club finally taking notice of the current and on-going discontent amongst the fans and finally acting on it. And I guess the alarm bells began ringing with the amount of empty seats this season, season tickets not being renewed, cup schemes, and platinum being dropped en-masse, etc. City fans and football fans in general will only take so much. Then they will react with their wallets. That £1 price rise this season has probably cost City £5.(making that figure up) That's not driving and making matchday revenue, that's losing matchday revenue.
