If the bods at City aren't reading this thread, they will be in for a shock in the coming seasons, with more and more fans not going, dropping platinum, the cup schemes, etc. And with attendances down, I don't care what the figures say, empty seats are visible at every home game, City will be slowly but surely getting less and less matchday income. And the only way to get around that is to increase prices across the board on season tickets, matchday tickets, food, drink, etc. A vicious circle is being formed by those running the club.
But it's OK, because when Sheikh Mansour or Khalddon visit next, or today, the fleet of limos will be greeted by City officials, security reserved for politicians and royalty, and free hospitality that we can only dream of on the packed concourses and at the over priced and bars. And that's after we're stood outside in the queues for 30 minutes waiting to be searched before being allowed into the stadium.
