Touts use local addresses of people with no interest in football to buy memberships and then sell on to whoever. I know a family of 5 in Knutsford with memberships. 3 of them don't even live there anymore.I've heard a few around me suggest they will be binning the CL cup scheme next season. Basically, fed up of being surrounded by tourists - either partisan or passive. Most you can have a chat and everything is fine.
I've seen it get a bit spiky at times, but it properly kicked off behind me with a regular at FT, who quite clearly had had enough with one RM celebrating. He's been going for as long as i know and comes with his kids for the PL games. Never seen this kind of reaction from him, ever.
This is what it's coming to. Don't know if the club's ticketing policy is deliberate, but simething needs to be done. It's a case of when, not if, someone is going to get seriously hurt.
Why? Look at Liverpool’s new stand. They offered barely any season tickets at all
Loads of former match going blues rocking up at clubs like Stockport county and Bury now from what I hear.
Perhaps a bit harsh? United have loads of arrogant fans from other parts of England who block up the A56 with their coaches, look down their nose at you when you say you support City, but cannot say what part of Manchester that London, Northamptonshire or Lincolnshire is in. We have a LOT of Mancs and Northerners who live within 50 miles of the ground if not ten, students from the Far East who genuinely support the club and live in Manchester, die-hard loyal Blues from far afield who travel across the country to see us and have done for years, and, on marquee nights, international day trippers who have paid through the nose, including from Europe. Obviously it was galling to see RM supporters in the home end the other night, but I think United are more untethered from the city than us, shown by the affection they get from the media and the football establishment. We'll know we're them when we are supported as an 'all-England' club in Europe the way Liverpool are and the way the Rags are, rather than people revelling us slipping up.They used to be very different but now they are becoming very similar.
They've been happening since Noah was giving sea trials to the ark.Loads of different ways to protest other than flags/banners:-
Don’t take your seat until 10 mins in
Leave 10 minutes early
Don’t sing / go silent for a long period
Buy eff-all in the club shop
Oh :/
Don't blame you mate, never forgotten about stockports gloating when we went down to D2Uh no chance me doing that , up to others what they do with their time
I'd rather go shopping at Asda with the wife than go to watch Stockport or bury
They're called "united fans".Touts use local addresses of people with no interest in football to buy memberships and then sell on to whoever. I know a family of 5 in Knutsford with memberships. 3 of them don't even live there anymore.
I sit in 305, only kno head was a random guy shouting at the tourists and calling all and sundry Spanish. I felt I had to apologise to the Arab couple sat next to me at end of game.sat there myself never saw a thing, gives jay off inbetweeners vibes think hes the gobshite
1,000 season tickets out of 7,000 is horrendous.I believe out of 7,000 new seats, 1,000 were allocated as season tickets.
Which isn’t an enormous amount but it’s a thousand more than the zero, the guy I was replying to, seems to think City will be giving out.
The comments were fully aimed at the club and the way they are running it and the way they have shafted their most loyal band of supporter's .Perhaps a bit harsh?

Look at Liverpool’s model, half of their capacity before the latest extension was match day tickets plus away fans. They only have 26k season card holders. Not sure how many, if any, they released with the opening of the new stand. Think we generate the lowest match day income of us, Liverpool, Spurs, rags. Arsenal and possibly Chelsea. Club trying to play catch up but the problem they seem to have trouble identifying is that we don’t have the tourist numbers those other clubs have. The club has priced out so many local fans it’s untrue. And anyone under the age of say 18 who started getting interested at aged 5 will have known nothing but our success but they can’t afford to attend. We somehow need to attract this generation of fans at affordable prices on a regular basis. Maybe a huge section of the new stand could be for the under 25s, unreserved rail seats, affordable season cards etc.1,000 season tickets out of 7,000 is horrendous.
Touts were doing very brisk business outside.Touts use local addresses of people with no interest in football to buy memberships and then sell on to whoever. I know a family of 5 in Knutsford with memberships. 3 of them don't even live there anymore.
If you look at Barcelona, where our chief exec was previously the answer is unequivocally no. They want arses in seats and they don’t care where they’re from as long as they stump up the cash.But do they want too ?
