I don't think you could be more condescendingly if you triedLavinda Past said:What a load of old bollocks.
If you love City and you can get to the match, you'll go. A seasoncard is the cheapest and most convenient way to see every home game. The DD payment scheme is a Godsend.
I've already renewed our three seasoncards (Adult + two kids) in CB3. We'll just do without something else to make sure Mrs Lavinda can pay for them (again) ;)
We travel from Norfolk to games - A near 400-mile round trip... Around 50 quid's worth of fuel + parking, food etc and W&T on the car. We only missed the WBA game this year, due to a work commitment. The kids didn't speak to me for two days.
A season's worth of MCFC home games for the same price as a week or two on some overrated beach...
I could live without the expense of going to Wembley again but I can't imagine not renewing our seasoncards.

This year its been disheartening watching non season ticket holders go to the semi and the final after getting tickets from various non official sources and fans like me and my daughter who narrowly missed out because of financial and loyalty points restraints. Sorry rant over ;)

I had no problem whatsoever joining the cup scheme. I suspect the 'website issues' could be no more than an urban myth...

All these "for the standard of football it's ok" merchants are presumably inferring that if City went back to being shit they would reconsider their support as they go for the quality of football on show and not to support the club they have supported for year and would do so whatever the circumstances.
The reason that football fans can be ripped off more than any other market is that most of them would go and watch their team, no matter what the circumstances. And are therefore ripe for being exploited.
Fair play to the sad bastards though who break that mould and whose thoughts on prices and whether they want to attend at City is motivated by such shallow stuff as "they only lose one or two a season". They are sticking it to the man, really. With a thought process like that they'll fuck it off straight away if the team drops. You obviously won't catch them being mugs and paying to watch a shit team cos they decide based on success. The money men won't stuff them.
Ridiculous post.
Would you pay £900 to watch Lincoln?
No. Everyone has a price that they consider either too much of a rip off to watch football or that they just cannot afford.
I consider £900 too much of a rip off to watch my football team.
However, if I were a Lincoln fan, whilst I would not stop going because of the standard of football on show not meeting the price.
Are you suggesting that Lincoln fans are less committed than City fans and don't consider their club to be worth as much to them as City fan's do theirs?
Proper Lincoln fans would rather go to watch Lincoln any day of the week than come and watch City smash Norwich. So why would they consider a more expensive ticket at City to be better value than a similarly priced ticket at Lincoln? They are Lincoln fans. They want to watch Lincoln. It is their club and represents their city. Watching them is just as valuable to them as watching City is to a City fan. Price, until it gets out of the range they are willing to pay, does little to affect that.

I'm not fat, Scotty. It's relaxed muscle.
You've got me wrong with that comment though. In another post, I fully admit to having NOTHING else in my life to get up for of a weekend aside from City. There's little other drains on my disposable income once the bills are paid so I spend almost everything on City. I don't recall the last time I had a proper night out, went for a meal, had a good shopping trip or booked a Holiday. City are coming first.
Trust me, saving £275 this month and next month ensures I'm thinking carefully for the rest of the summer.

Next time I see you I will explain why I cant justify a seasoncard. Anyway we need a new London supporters pub to be able to go to anyway
You don't need to explain anything to me. If you aren't considering a Seasoncard then you aren't. It's your decision.
CADs in Paddington was a laugh for the Derby. It seems to attract all sorts of people which is a certainty given the area. Beer wasn't much more than £3 a pint either.
Ah you see I am exploring many avenues of a season card, might even share one with someone from Manchester, might only get crap games in but would make me go. Farringdon was a strange place also so im sure Paddington will be fine
