It shouldnt be this difficult to get to & away from the ground, Read the matchday parking thread the other day & its the same thing, its almost like those in charge are trying to make it difficult to get to home games,Don't use public transport and drive but noticed last night when I left to go to car the amount of fans left at bus stop being told no more buses, family's with kids etc
It was pathetic and not normally seen this during day games.
I always stay to the end but if some fans rely on the buses to get home no wonder they fuck off early.
The club need to be more active with getting to and from the ground as it seems we are being shafted by TFGM
Would crease me up leaving a second early but totally understand you and others now having to do itI left early with 5 mins to go because of no buses left at the Atletico game.
Got on the second bus straight away and glad I did.
First time this season.Would crease me up leaving a second early but totally understand you and others now having to do it
you know you can just screen shot your barcode and send it someone?I couldn’t go again tonight as the missus got delayed getting home after a big accident so by the time she got home it was too late. My lad couldn’t go due to sickness.
Now I would happily give away my seats last minute but what a faff that is. The club needs to find a way to fill my empty seat that I have paid for without wanting to charge the earth for it. Local City fans who can’t afford to pay for tickets maybe. If not then then Manchester is a City full of students and I would be quite happy for one or two of them to take up my tickets which they could have for free if I can’t go. It might bring in some new fans. There is no way a game like that is going to sell out so why not let some people go who maybe wouldn’t otherwise and fill the seat that I can’t.
They could start selling weekend only season tickets and sell midweek only season tickets for those same seats for much cheaper prices, say £20 a game. I’m sure there would be takers locally.
we need to start making it easier to get the stadium full for games that are difficult to fill.
Cheers. I didn’t know that.you know you can just screen shot your barcode and send it someone?
i wasnt sure about this and was told i couldnt....but i screenshotted it and tried last night and you can.
Never knew that. The barcode that appears when you click on the 3 dots at the top of the page when you access your seasoncard through the Apple wallet?you know you can just screen shot your barcode and send it someone?

It probably felt like it. I remember a 0-0 draw under Frank Clarke with Chris Greenacre up front. Happy daysJust to be very pedantic, neither of those teams was in Div 3 with us!
Done than a few times now and has worked every timeNever knew that. The barcode that appears when you click on the 3 dots at the top of the page when you access your seasoncard through the Apple wallet?
mines on google pay and it says show code...when you press it a rectangle shape barcode showsNever knew that. The barcode that appears when you click on the 3 dots at the top of the page when you access your seasoncard through the Apple wallet?
200k in your back bin will help.Its not really about what the fans feel about leaving early it’s what the players must feel when they see a half empty stadium after battling for 90 minutes.
They must know the traffic is a nightmare, if I’m home before the final whistle, I’m happy.Its not really about what the fans feel about leaving early it’s what the players must feel when they see a half empty stadium after battling for 90 minutes.
Agree with this. I'd also say it could possibly affect potential new signings, if they have a choice between us and another club.Its not really about what the fans feel about leaving early it’s what the players must feel when they see a half empty stadium after battling for 90 minutes.
Weak effortAgree with this. I'd also say it could possibly affect potential new signings, if they have a choice between us and another club.
You sure this is true I screenshotted a picture of my ticket a few months ago to my Whatsapp and it wouldn't scan had to be through the Apple/Google pay app?Cheers. I didn’t know that.
Weak effort
Why?
Hypothetic scenario. Two clubs with a similar chance of winning things, paying similar amounts, offering you a similar importance to the team.
One has fans who stay to the end and cheer the team off, one has a large volume who leave around 80 minutes because beating the traffic is more important.
Who do you pick?
Could be either, and yes it's a daft comparison, but for some it might just swing things. To the untrained observer, who doesn't know our past, what we've been through, how shit the transport around the stadium is - it may just look like we don't give a shit.
Late 90s, once we got over how shit the team was, we got behind what was a mediocre team and helped push them to promotions.
When we were going for out 1st recent title, the media team did a great job of pushing #together - this helped stop us getting on the players backs if things were going wrong. We stuck behind them, supported them and helped them to the title. Small margins mattered and I am fairly sure the fans made at least a points difference.
Now though? Pushing for a winner in an evening game? Yeah, some get behind the team. Lots do in fact, but lots have left early.
It's a shame it's got to this. I k ow everyone has their reasons, but I don't think it helps us in any way, and I don't know how that gets changed back.
Some fans have always left early even at Maine Road...they do at most clubs..............Why?

You will never stop it...........Too many fan types and circumstances.fair enough that on a few points...
I think only arsenal equal us the the arrive late, leave early and a half time beer on 35 mins ! It does effect how we are portrayed.
I dont know how it will change, lots of replies are "i paid, i dont give a fuck and will leave when i want"... Helps a lot that !
