You want metrics on feelings?

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the metrics are if that's how you feel. If I'm honest, the last few seasons (probably since Covid) have probably been the least enjoyable ever for me in terms of attending the match and the way I feel about the club.
 
What that statement imo could have done with is a token 'the club will continue to engage with fan representative groups' or something along those lines.

1894 on Twitter : No announcement so far on season ticket availability. We will now consult with our members and the wider fan base on whether further action takes place at the Villa game.

Good stuff. I would happily trade my season card entitlement to 12 fully refunded tickets (listed on the Exchange) if that helped match day members get cheaper ticket prices or the flexi-good set up fees were waived.

I can’t be arsed listing the many, many reasons because it’s late.

It felt like my club when I could take my son to watch City without having to remortgage the fucking house.

It felt like my club when I went to a match and there wasn’t an away fan with hair clippers or rag YouTubers sat in the home end.

It felt like my club before I was made to feel like an inconvenience to dickheads like Soriano because I don’t spend £200 in the club shop before filming the match on my iPad.

Is that enough to be going on with?

Good and fair points.
 
Quick question hope somebody can help. My mates lad can't make the game Saturday so he's transfered his ticket on to my account but nothing available to add to my Google wallet yet. When are tickets usually available to add, thanks?

The club should also be made to reassess Cityzens Matchday Membership. Having to pay a £35 fee for a chance to buy match tickets is not ethical especially when there is no guarantee of getting to see Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. It's just another con to add to the £150 Flexi Gold fiddle. I don't think we are cheats regarding the 115 allegations but I think Cityzens Matchday and Flexi Gold members are being cheated out of hard earned money. I love the team and the club but I am beginning to despise the hierarchy. There is a complete disconnect between senior management and none hospitality fans.

Similarly, Platinum is not ethical either.

Paying an extra £50 for double points has never sat right with me. I went with the decision after doing it for two years to get rid of it… everybody should have done the same.

Yeah- I hadn’t really associated the issues raised with how it would make someone “feel” about the club. I absolutely love going to the match - the social side, bevvy, laugh with my mates, watch the lads. I’m very very fortunate:,got great seats, next to my mates and my son. I hadn’t fully understood or considered pricing for dad and his lad(s), no possibility of season tickets etc. on reflection, I now understand how this would change one’s “feeling” for the club.

Morning Tim, so there is no detail coming out from the club on various issues including FG when they had the opportunity to announce all in one go yesterday. We're going to highlight season ticket availability though at the moment as it's a major issue for fans that has not been resolved. So if there was a protest at the Villa game that is what it would be about. You will also know that all groups have asked the club to offer FG holders a choice between retaining FG and upgrading to a full traditional ST. Club are still not reading the room and are trying to get away with the bare minimum.

The club should be careful in the direction they are going. This is the first season in quite a while we haven't been challenging for the title and on top of that the football on show has been pretty poor. We are still however fighting for a champions league place and are in the fa cup semi final but there are empty seats everywhere. Nobody seems to post attendance figures anymore but there was a lot of empty places against Leicester. Let's see how many there are against Palace. If we have thousands of tourists and newly acquired fans desperate to see us play why aren't these tickets being snapped up? Don't forget this has been the most successful period in our history and we are still not selling out games. They need to look their policies again.

Won't help the seat situation when Haaland isn't playing either.

He'll be the main tourist attraction.

The problem is that some of us could only afford to (or even get season tickets) way after others (my first season ticket was when in my 40s after I gambled on a career change that paid off and I never had anyone buying tickets for me as a kid) and without platinum we’d always be back of the line. In my view you’d have to get rid of the historical points from everyone at the same time if you want to remove Platinum and that’s a whole different problem.

Otherwise, the only option to me would be to just buy tickets via ticket resellers or join an OSC to “jump the queues”.

Even so, I still rarely get a chance to attend away games despite the years of platinum but I’m getting closer.
