FA Cup R3 | Salford City (H) | Sat 11 Jan 1745

Alternatively they can continue to moan and stay away?

Alternatively after following City all around the country for decades the club now only want us when it can't get the tourists for smaller games.

So basically taking the piss out of us because we can't afford or even get tickets for the pl games. But City can't sell to the tourists for this game that's offer it to the old loyal fan base that we have priced out.

If you can't afford it you don't go, like anything in life, and don't come back 'yes but this is football' no it isn't.
 
If you haven't a season ticket & you don't want to pay the sky high prices for league games then surely you choose the cheap cup games ? Or am i missing something ?
Exactly what I do! Every year I keep my fingers crossed for a home tie against lower league opposition. The league games are too expensive for me nowadays with a young family but for this one all 4 of us are going for £45.
 
skint people and kids could jib in at Maine Road and aways......doubling up etc


Gone are those days.....many of the FOC's going today started that way.

Train fares? jump the train.........following City could be cheap and lucrative ;)

Always use these games for a couple of £30 seats in 93;20. Missing this one though because we are at the West Ham game the week before.Plus the 11th is my birthday so other stuff planned.

Particularly if there was a bit of taxing and shop lifting included.
 
I have a season ticket and yes £70 is pricey but if i couldn't afford it i wouldn't go and watch it on tv.
That's the whole point regular & longstanding fans have been priced out .£70 plus on boxing day .do me a favour .What joker came up with that price
So the clubs attitude is if you can't afford to take your kids to a Premiership game at Christmas.Take them to this one instead as the tick tock brigade and many corporate hospitality goers don't want to go. You can't have the cake but you can have the crumbs
I realise City need to get a return on there investment but there are better ways to do it instead of screwing fans left right and center
I would love to go with the family on boxing day v Everton but simply won't pay them prices and will watch it on TV with a minced pie in one hand and a glass of mulled wine in the other
Come on City

If you're taking kids does it matter if its a Premier League game or a cheap as chips cup game ? Watching football hasn't been cheap for 20 odd years, that"s why if you have a season ticket you don't give it up !

I think it does it matter a bit. You want the opportunity to go to the big games, say United or Madrid with your kids. Otherwise you’re saying you can go to games, but only against league 2 opposition in the cup. It’s not an away game either, where there’s limited tickets and you have to accept that.

If league games were affordable this wouldn’t be an issue as you’d have a choice. Football hasn’t always been cheap, but it was much more affordable going back - you can see that in how the crowd has changed so much.
