Seat Counters - 2024/25

Which category did you get last year Tim? Ours were priced at 115 ironically. Seen that category are now 125 this year. Trying to get myself a cheaper one this time around.

Hoping there's less demand than last year with it not being the rags, but who knows as it's the only silverware we've really competed for this season.

We were in the £115 too but one member said they couldn’t afford that so gave their ticket back.

There are high numbers of single and doubles low down in the blocks online for the Wolves game. That suggests a lot of seasoncard holders are trying to sell their seats on the exchange but that the match-day prices are too high to sell them.

Don’t know what stand you’re referring to. But in the North Stand for example, there are very few season ticket holders on the first few rows. Yet often these seats never show up on the planner for sale to members. Other times you see whole rows for sale. Not season ticket returns in the main though.

Possibly seats that are held back for coach parties of junior football teams but not taken up? That’s just a guess though.

We are in Nl2 and those front rows in level 1 are usually full of coach parties of kids

That makes sense. In L1 few people want to sit in the front rows because you will get wet and you don't have a good perspective on the game. A few years ago, City dug the pitch down and added extra rows around the ground, and these seats were discounted. Then they scrapped them when larger advertising hoardings came in.

In Level 3 by contrast the best seats are at the front. When I bought my season ticket in 305, I remember that all the rows at the front were greyed out and unavailable, and the seats available for season tickets started from about row 6 from the back. So in EL3 and WL3 I think the season ticket seats are towards the front rows, and the match day seats are right at the back. Additionally City will occasionally put parties of children right at the back of my block so I know that that is where the match-day seats are. They are never in front of my row which I think of the dividing line between season-tickets and match-day tickets. When we have had away fans in block 305 which is the centre block in the East Stand, they are largely right behind me because that is where the match-day fan area is.

I sometimes see large groups of kids in coloured track-suit tops sitting at the front of NL1.

When I arrive at my entrance, I occasionally see large groups of kids lined up at the turnstile and invariably they sit in the row behind me and kick my seat and scream very loudly. If we are wining, I am happy with it. If we are losing, it gets annoying.

Remember a group of kids right at the front of NL1 all wearing matching dark blue tracksuits (Most likely their teams kit colours), however we were playing Chelsea and it really did look like we had a block of Chelsea fans in the North stand

The noise from the Forest fans before the game was incredible. Scoring first and so early made a huge difference. It took them a long time to recover and luckily they never got that same atmosphere back.
Being totally outnumbered I drank in a pub in Bushey with Forest fans, and they were great and knowledgeable.
I then had a couple in the Corner House in Wembley . Was OK, but of course Lewis got the usual abuse, quickly stopped by my Brother and me.
Afterwards on the Station was fine and a chat with a few Forest fans.
A great day, well done the City fans who supported the team yesterday.
Bit sad people who didn't go criticising Forest fans.
I treat people as they treat me, and I found Forest fans OK yesterday.
I also recently had a full day out at the Forest away game and they were also good there.
It seems the armchair Internet fans are the worst when lumping a set of fans together as an homogeneous group.
Can't wait for the final.

Was my experience too. On the train to the game and in the pub after.

Agreed, I was stopped by one of their fans as I was walking to the ground. He was a bit pissed, I thought: here we go..but we then we had a good 15 minute chat about the game..and refreshingly we never mentioned.fans', 'istry, 115 etc.. He was just concerned that as they play very narrow anyway a wide pitch v City would not suit them at all. He said they would be chasing shadows for at keast 60 mins .Pretty astute' as that was Pep's tactics . Really made them chase across the line.. He was a good lad and made a nice change to talk about the game properly, like it used to be pre social meeeja. There will be pllenty of normal knowledgeable Palace fans there from my experience in London. Palace have a good core of local SE London fans who seem to have a bit more football knowledge.

The Forest fans were decent. I met a few on the train. No hassle and no aggressive banter. Refreshing compared to the drunken and thuggish Liverpool and Villa fans who were aggressive before and after our Wembley matches with them,

On Wembley Way after the game we had Forest fans trying to tell us we aren't a proper club/fans. So I had to put him right why we are a proper club and that we'll be at Wembley again for the 31st time since 2011. They seem to forget they were the cheats after breaching PSR and not us which must make them a 'proper club'

I had one telling me that we are anti-football, that our academy makes robots.

Robots that left and are arguably the best players at their current clubs?

Rogers at Villa, Delap at Ipswich, Cole at Chelsea....just a few that instantly spring to mind. Really isn't worth conversing with a lot of football supporters.
