Seat Counters - 2022/23

Don't worry I often get Tuesday's and Wednesday's mixed up

I turned up for a Full Members Cup game against Wimbledon once on a Monday night thinking it was Tuesday. Remember thinking walking up.. I knew it was going to be a small crowd but I wasn’t expecting to be the only one. Mind you, wasn’t that many more there the next day.
 
A couple of things to consider with slow sales is how people can actually get to Wembley

Drive - fine but you need that designated driver, parking etc

Train - expensive, unreliable, no seats, two northern clubs going so demand will be high

Coach - no drinks allowed by law, can be a slog, toilets an issue for the women, service stops can be entertaining putting it mildly and now coach companies taking the piss with prices they are setting. Not helped by City charging £50 a seat.

£50 x 49 seats = £2450 - no way should a coach company rake that in.

This means other firms who take independant fan groups see pound signs. I do a coach to most away games and the price to London normally is a good £500 less on average.

Then the parking at Wembley for a coach is also £120

It used to be £50

Semi finals should not be at Wembley
 
A bit harsh?
Sorry, just to be clear, I don't give a shit who comes to City. Not one. I don't care if they wear a half and half scarf and wave a selfie stick around.

I'm making a seat counter's observation to the other hardcore SCs that this stage of sales will give us a rough indication as to how may of those type of fans we now sell to compared to other years.
