Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko
Bernardo Rodri Grealish
Mahrez Jesus Sterling

Early goal please to settle the nerves. With no KDB, Gundo and Phil, we will need Mahrez and Grealish to be on fire and hopefully provide the creativity we were missing last week

Don't think it would have. Still about 1500 tickets up for grabs around the rest of the stadium.

So let me do the maths. Norwich returned 1500 which we have had to sell. If they had sold out that1500 less to sell to city fans. We have about 1500 left. So 1500 less 1500 is 0 equals a sell out.

Haha. Eat your sandwiches before you go. You seriously cant go without sandwiches or eating for 2 hours?

Not that easily with my medical condition, but that‘s not any excuse because it really wasn’t the issue.

I jacked it on a point of principle. Me, my flask and my sandwiches had paid in at the turnstile and supported this club, with money that didn’t come easy to us, though hard times when the club needed every last penny.
Then, when the club gets rich and successful, huge sponsorships roll in (and the gate receipts from the loyal supporters becomes a much lesser part of their income), me, my flask and my sandwiches aren’t welcome any more because, as they openly admitted, they wanted to force me to pay over the odds prices for shite food sold by the concessions?

I have standards, I don’t go where I’m not welcome.

That’s my choice, I respect your choice to do whatever you’d do under similar circumstances and I hope you can respect that I earned my stripes between 1972 and 2018.
I turned out rain or shine for 46 years, and that doesn’t make me a better fan than any other but it needed to be said so that you can understand that I’m a creature of habit, and also to give context to a situation where I‘d supported the club in my way for so long that it had become a routine, a personal tradition.

We all have our tipping points and supporter services putting the screws on me was mine.

About 100 tickets left of the 1500 that were returned. However, since then the ticket exchange has been sorted by the club and lots of season ticket holders have put their tickets on. Around 2500 tickets popped on their yesterday. About 1400 left.

yes agreed it might just sell out. The block 315 I think the one nearest Mary ds in the south stand upper tier only has 60 left now and going down all the time. It’s not beyond the realms that we could sell a thousand on the day with walk ups? A lot of people are a bit last minute.

Just put a fiver on Man City to win 3-2 @25/1 with Betfair, seems generous to me.

Don’t want to upset you but you can get that score line at 46 (45/1) on Betfair Exchange. Always better odds than on the Sportsbook.

If you can cash out for something near your stake it would still be worth transferring your bet to the Exchange.
 
Gonna be an interesting and maybe emotional day tomorrow,to see whose still around where we sit,hopefully the same crew around us are still there,unless deferred or even worse,be a strange experience I think but still excited about it as well,not long to wait now

Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.

So whatever time of the day the match kicks off which could be between 1200 & 2000 you need sandwiches!!!

And a hot drink costs £2

No wonder some scribes call out Blues on BMF as being mad!

Yes but it’s something to moan about.

Strangely the old guy who sits in front of me always brings sandwiches and a flask of tea with him.
 
Regarding all the ticket bollocks.

I can't make tomorrow, am away on holiday (happens a lot to me this, this time of year, not sure why...?) Neither can my son, same reason.

I put both tickets up yesterday evening for resale on the club website. They both got sold today.

At least two buggers are going....

I am sure they would let you bring sandwiches in and a flask.
