And why wouldn't he? What has City done recently to show the fans they care about them????
Hahaha, best joke I've heard all day.
Far too many "AllRight Jacks" by the sound of things, who are happy to pay whatever price, and put up with the exploitation, and gradually easing out of the longterm city fanbase in place of the Tourist Day trippers.
As long as they are alright.
We are damned if we do damned if we dont. If you dont renew it will not be noted as a protest by the club, theyll just sell it to Rupert from Oxford.
I didnt renew as soon as mine passed £400 a couple of seasons ago, my seat would of been empty for abut 5 seconds before somebody else replaced me. 20 years of being a season ticket holder over like that
Do you think there's that many people waiting for tickets? I know that David Bernstein reckons that our core support is no more than 50,000 & won't be more than that for quite a long time.We are damned if we do damned if we dont.

Give Well fried Pony a load of more dosh.And why wouldn't he? What has City done recently to show the fans they care about them????
Just renewed my cheapie 299 in SS3. No increase.
No, which is why I have been involved with protests, OSC's, and try and made my voice heard.That has always been the case. There have been people priced out over the last 20 years with little protest. I guess over that time you were one of the "All right Jacks' along with the rest of us paying for season tickets.
Give Well fried Pony a load of more dosh.
Look, I can accept when I am priced out.
I can accept that there are other people out there with more money who want to watch live football.
I acknowledge that in fairness, it isn't the mist expensive thing in the world...
But for me, I've lost that connect to the club I was born into.
3mths old I went to my first City match, I was in a baby buggy.
Thats irrelevant though.
It's like me saying I first flew with Etihad Airways when I was a baby, I've flew with them all my life... Bla Bla Bla.
What I want to see, for me, isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Such as a Safe Standing area for like minded people who are happy to support the team in a way in which they display passion.
Passion is non existant now, and if you show any Showshit court you out if the stadium, and won't think twice about banning you.
Enjoy this if you like it.
It's soulless, corporate, and I feel Football at the top needs to crash in order for it to level out and become again... The game if the people.
Not for the elite to promote their Corporations, stash money in other countries and so on.
Capitalism 1 - Football 0
I was the same bud.I've just done a very rough calculation and factoring in seasoncard price, tickets for cup games on the cup schemes, tickets for away games (I do roughly 50%-60% of aways each season), travel costs for away games, food, and falling over water, I reckon watching City costs me over £4000 a year. That's a fucking expensive hobby whichever way you look at it. The trouble is, much of the reason why I do this isn't down to what happens on the pitch - important as that is, it's also about having a laugh with your mates, singing your heart out, and generally having a good day out. I can't replicate those experiences if I sack off watching City and take up another hobby, and to knock it on the head will drive a hole in something I enjoy immensely. If I went just for the football, I'd have canned it off years ago.
And what if you did that two years ago, in protest at those price rises?Is British folk have a good way of whinging but then doing nowt about it. Best thing we could all do is downgrade to Gold and stripping away all cup schemes if on any.
