That idea definitely looks like it originates from a billionaire tax dodging scruffy ****, so doubt Omar can take any credit for that one.

Hundreds of millions in debt, ridiculous transfers fees, leading to years of watching sub-standard football.
Yet, in a credit crunch, when the team are garbage, the fans now have to stump up yet more money, for the privilege of watching the team and to try to help them fill the £714m gap that was not their fault?
Utter exploitation
As we've always said, owners DO NOT CARE who attends the games, be it City, United or Carlisle.
It is solely about the money, regardless of the source.
And this will lead to soul-less grounds, as few inside have any true affiliation or passion for the team.
I've had my ST for over 40 years. If I sack it off next year, will I be missed?

Probably not, mate and, unfortunately, I think that applies to every single one of us. It won't change unless we go to shit again when they'll be begging us to buy tickets.Hundreds of millions in debt, ridiculous transfers fees, leading to years of watching sub-standard football.

We are there to be rinsed these days.....the club used to give a shit when we were shit ......just sayingProbably not, mate and, unfortunately, I think that applies to every single one of us. It won't change unless we go to shit again when they'll be begging us to buy tickets.
I was only praising United for their child prices a few months ago.£66 for all kids match day tickets at United now. Ticket pricing is getting ridiculous at all clubs now.
PL tickets have been £13 for all kids in all stands at Utd for a number of years, only 50p more expensive than what we raised our domestic Cup child prices to last season.
£66 is a piss take and will be the end of attendance for many families. £35 for kids is far too expenses at City, never mind £66 at the Swamp.
What are PL clubs playing at?
Time for a nationwide protest on ticket prices soon; ‘Boycott Weekends’ across the country.

Just been reading about the protest planned by the 4 clubs this weekend..... unless fans stop attending games, protests such as this will be futile.

Most people I know who moan about ticket prices are the same ones who will then happily go out and blow 150 quid on a pair of trainers, or 100 quid on a night down the pub, or pay sky 120 quid a month to watch rag and dipper ex players slate city.
Let's put this into perspective, if you were putting on a show or a concert and had to spend £100m's on sourcing and paying those starring in the show, would you then only charge the audience £20-30 to watch it? I suspect not. Most big music concerts cost way more than an average ticket at city and yet people pay for, and go to those without much complaint.
Life is about priorities, one of my priorities is my beloved club, so if I need to make some financial sacrifices to watch them, so be it.
It riles me that our fans are moaning at our club about this. In terms of return on investment, we are the best rewarded fans on the planet in the last decade or so.
City are simply a product of the foundations laid by the red cartel, other historically greedy clubs, the PL, UEFA and FIFA. They created a system where to be successful you have to generate lots and lots of revenue. Our owners have added as much as they can, but got branded cheats for doing so. The only way to remain successful is to generate as much income from everywhere possible, including match day sales.
Protesting against the club just doesn't seem right. Yes, protest against the PL or other governing bodies, but why blame our own club for something much bigger than them.
The irony is, many of those who do go and spend their money on a game (and then complain about it) sit there in silence and don't support the club anyway, then blame the atmosphere on tourist fans.
The club don't need any of this shit right now, they have battles on and off the pitch to fight, without their own fans turning on them.

This is exactly what fans HAVE to do if they want this shit to stop. Sundays game would have been ideal. A worldwide audience and the premier leagues two biggest clubs, Liverpool and ourselves. It's live on TV so nobody has to miss watching it. Boycott it. Sure you will always get the tourists and head in the sand "I can afford it/ I haven't missed a game in donkeys years I'm not starting now" cretins, but even if the stadium was half full for such a big game it would have a massive impact. Unless match going fans put petty point scoring crap aside and unite against this then they will continue to be fleeced.

You are the problem, you're just to ( too) blinded to see it. Amended for the grammar freaks out there.

What are PL clubs playing at? For me they are wringing as much money as possible out of every aspect of the game, with the match going fans being asked to stump up more and more. As long as people keep paying, they'll lap it up. An organised and sustained protest from all fans is required.I was only praising United for their child prices a few months ago.

It's "too blinded", and you're wrong.You are the problem, you're just to blinded to see it.
I'm planning a protest by walking out at anfield on Sunday on the 60th minute.Just been reading about the protest planned by the 4 clubs this weekend..... unless fans stop attending games, protests such as this will be futile.
Pure coincidence that it will time perfectly with liverpool going 4-0 up.

The only way prices will come down is if the entire monetary levels involved in the Premier League are brought down. That's not going to happen by individual groups of fans protesting at their own clubs. If people are to protest, then it has to be on mass as a community of fans, but that will never happen because football is too tribal. As I said above, City are not the problem here, the system is the problem.
It's "too blinded", and you're wrong.
No I'm not and don't try to be a cock on me mistyping to instead of too, it happens as phones often change words after you've typed them.
Your reply proves my point. Cocks like you are the reason fans are getting fleeced.

Listen, you were the one who went in personal off the bat, so don't complain just because I gave some back. Then you resort to name calling. That says more about you than me tbh.No I'm not and don't try to be a cock on me mistyping to instead of too, it happens as phones often change words after you've typed them.

I have an opinion, you have an opinion, I think mine is right, you don't. That's fine.

So what you're saying is we should all turn up to games in 5 stripe Adidas and Nicks trainers so we can afford tickets?Most people I know who moan about ticket prices are the same ones who will then happily go out and blow 150 quid on a pair of trainers, or 100 quid on a night down the pub, or pay sky 120 quid a month to watch rag and dipper ex players slate city.

There have been documentaries made on how the music industry rips the public off.Most people I know who moan about ticket prices are the same ones who will then happily go out and blow 150 quid on a pair of trainers, or 100 quid on a night down the pub, or pay sky 120 quid a month to watch rag and dipper ex players slate city.

Plus it’s not just City fans moaning about City, it’s all fans moaning about all clubs and we are uniting over it. City are just 1/20 of the problem but our club is a problem. Wednesday night’s pathetic attendance showed that. Kids all over this city have never set foot inside the Etihad despite being massive Blues. That’s fucking wrong, if you think it isn’t you’re just part of the problem.

The problem is with fans not attending games that go weekly won't really matter, As there tickets will get snapped up by the others than are trying to get tickets so they'll always get bums on seats.Just been reading about the protest planned by the 4 clubs this weekend..... unless fans stop attending games, protests such as this will be futile.
Being realistic, It will only make media coverage if it's the "Cartel Clubs" fans that's protesting the likes of Rags, Dippers and Tarquins.. All of which will sell out anyway even if the weekly fans don't go.
Unfortunately this is what all the clubs wanted, They couldn't care less about any fan all they want is tickets sold at the highest price possible.
The Premier League are as much to blame as anyone the greedy bastards, They should have put a price cap on this years ago. Sooner the better the bollocks falls out of it all.

Well, if a substantial amount of season ticket holders didn't attend the game, that would have a pretty big impact on the overall attendance, those tickets can't be snapped up.
