Unfortunately its a common theme, thats awful that they wont let you back after illness, what a bunch of shitbags.Lads and lasses it’s gone .. football has eaten itself I earn a quite good income along with Mrs snake , I lost my season card through illness I would like it back along my daughter but it’s not happening , the club are not interested. It’s soul destroying now I’m back in work etc.. my youngest wants to go so much but match day prices are not sustainable. The last decade or so has been brilliant but.. I feel city has lost its soul what we had and was lauded for.
The thing is there was an inevitability to losing our soul as we became incredibly successful and “global”. In fact by dint of being n the PL it was going to happen.But when the takeover gathered steam the motto was “local but global”Unfortunately its a common theme, thats awful that they wont let you back after illness, what a bunch of shitbags.
They dont give a toss about regular fans and I dont think they understand fan culture at all at the top, as you say the last 10 years have been brilliant but.
We have lost our soul.
I agree. We have taken eveything we hated about United in the 90s and 00s to another level altogether.Lads and lasses it’s gone .. football has eaten itself I earn a quite good income along with Mrs snake , I lost my season card through illness I would like it back along my daughter but it’s not happening , the club are not interested.

I used to do a bit of caddying at Didsbury golf course and occasionally Mere.
Bottom 2 tiers it is looking about 5% listed and some will turn up anyway, and won't be very noticable. It is the third tier were over 10% are listed, however the vast majority already sold bar 2 blocks.It’s OK, because tomorrow night’s attendance along with 3000-4000 empty visible seats (on TV) will send a clear message to Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, Soriano and the board, with another 8000 seats to fill in 2025/26
We used to do it at Northenden. Had a couple of regulars who’d drop us a fiver a go. That was more than the paper round paid for getting up at 6 am, 7 days a week.
Was great until my idiot mate decided to rob something from the club shop. Then that was the end of that.
You take the best price you can getTo be fair, that's not the club's fault.
That game was always likely to move to the Sunday so surely you wait for the tv fixtures to be announced.
Spot on. They could've taken us all along on the ride - long-standing fans, local fans, new fans, and tourists - without alienating any of those groups of people, but they've chosen not to. People who say that's part of modern football when you become successful are missing the point. It literally doesn't have to be like that. You can cater for all types of fan without pissing them off and still make a lot of money as a result. The short-sightedness of some at our club is now coming to the fore with this recent run of results and the decision to farm out thousands of tickets to ticket agencies for tonight's game which have now been returned, when those tickets could've gone on sale to members back in the summer and would've shifted.The thing is there was an inevitability to losing our soul as we became incredibly successful and “global”.

And that’s what’s hurting so many of us - that the club hasn’t tried harder to keep the local part of the club.
Yup unfortunately I'm working and my ticket has been listed for over a week and not sold, my season ticket is only £380 so won't get much back, I wonder what they are asking for itIt’s OK, because tomorrow night’s attendance along with 3000-4000 empty visible seats (on TV) will send a clear message to Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon, Soriano and the board, with another 8000 seats to fill in 2025/26
£51 or £53 I think, depending on where in the ground your ticket is. Presume it's SS3 going off the price of your ST?Yup unfortunately I'm working and my ticket has been listed for over a week and not sold, my season ticket is only £380 so won't get much back, I wonder what they are asking for it
Think about £50, but price has nothing to do with why I ,and I guess many matchday buyers aren't going. I's a midweek in December and I live in Scotland with work today and tomorrow.So whether the ticket is £30 or £50 makes no difference to whether I and I suspect many others go or not.Yup unfortunately I'm working and my ticket has been listed for over a week and not sold, my season ticket is only £380 so won't get much back, I wonder what they are asking for it
That's definitely true for the blues like yourself who put the miles in the watch City. However there are literally thousands of match day members in Manchester who will not be going because £52 is too much (which all the other costs this time of year).Think about £50, but price has nothing to do with why I ,and I guess many matchday buyers aren't going.

Yeah SS3, I moved from the north stand when they built the stand and was lucky enough to get the what was then £299 otherwise I'd have been priced out quite some time ago£51 or £53 I think, depending on where in the ground your ticket is. Presume it's SS3 going off the price of your ST?
And then you must take the risk that comes with it.You take the best price you can get
The short sightedness both on and off the pitch is really starting to come back and bite the club on the arse.Spot on.

If you wantto go tonight you can will be able to pick up a ticket on the tickets thread of this forum for peanuts. You haven’t been priced out.Quite fancied going tonight as I'm off work tomorrow and it's an earlier kick off.
Gone on to the site and it still says "restricted sale". I'm a Citizens member(the £25 one) but not a matchday member. I don't know if being a matchday member would make me eligible to buy one but then it's £35 plus the price of the ticket. Not doing that.
If I see a single empty seat on TV tonight...
