Fair enough but look closely at the picture. Claims to be in the South stand but that picture was taken in the North stand otherwise he would have been stood up amongst the Rag Vermin not sat down as shown.Not according to the article.
I think it’s just an error on one of the photo captions that says South instead of North.Fair enough but look closely at the picture. Claims to be in the South stand but that picture was taken in the North stand otherwise he would have been stood up amongst the Rag Vermin not sat down as shown.
The BBC lying surely not!
That’s how I feel about those that do aways on top. I did all the home games for the last few seasons (but only a handful of aways) and have had to take a break this season due to other family commitments but I am looking forward to a bit of a rest.I honestly don’t know how some mange to attend all the games.
Unless you are single or retired getting to games regularly has to be a challenge for most people with normal family/life getting in the way.
Also anyone’s guess when games will be on with all the shuffling of fixtures to suit television rights. How many 3pm Saturday kick offs are likely this season?
Marvin, what has your post got to do with the bbc article ?Over the years a lot of season ticket holders have moved out of Manchester and getting to a midweek game must be awkward. I think it's good that other supporters get the opportunity to go to the game with City's support best reflecting the community from which it is based best in midweek Cup games.
So should I ask their "Verify" crew to investigate?I think it’s just an error on one of the photo captions that says South instead of North.
I used to organise my holidays around the fixtures but gave up about 4 years ago. Constant changing of dates and times eventually got to me, so now I just put them up for resale with the Club.I honestly don’t know how some mange to attend all the games.

Hate the BBC but just wondering whether the issue they’ve highlighted re rogue ticket sites is why City are tightening up on ST use. It really affects me as my son lives in London now & has had his ST for 25 years but can’t use it 10 times. We don’t want to lose it but it could be that STs are being bought solely to sell on??Marvin, what has your post got to do with the bbc article ?
Tickets, in vast numbers, are going to online touts. Meanwhile the club makes it harder than ever for loyal Blues to pass the odd ticket on to a mate.

I haven’t got the answer but it seems all clubs are experiencing the problem & are tackling it in similar ways.
this isn’t meant as a go at any fans organisation- it’s just a thought
Agreed but I do think behind the scenes, the club are trying to tackle a huge ticketing issue which is invading the PLI don't think so.
City should make it easier for your son to pass his ticket onto a mate not harder.
A problem they could easily fix by not getting in bed with resale sites and issuing more season tickets to local fans.Agreed but I do think behind the scenes, the club are trying to tackle a huge ticketing issue which is invading the PL
There are Blues who sell their tickets on to touting agencies just like there are at virtually every top flight club. The clubs are probably the bigger culprits. It’s rife at Liverpool and the rags and Tod Boehly has made several businesses by exploiting ticket reselling.Agreed but I do think behind the scenes, the club are trying to tackle a huge ticketing issue which is invading the PL
Goes in via entrance Y , NW of the ground near the barrier to the building work. Then filmed near 034/032 which is that corner too. So was either NS or CB.So Dan Roan was in the South Stand for the derby and nobody recognised him and took appropriate action? Wake up blues!
Aha. I was taken in by “alongside City’s most ardent supporters”. I hope the Family Stand made him do the PoznanGoes in via entrance Y , NW of the ground near the barrier to the building work.
Possibly but I doubt it’s that simple because it appears to be that all clubs are affected. According to bbc reports, clubs they investigated are not purposely selling to these rogue sites The investigation will hopefully identify how it’s happening.A problem they could easily fix by not getting in bed with resale sites and issuing more season tickets to local fans.
Hopefully this BBC report will make everyone think again but I do think the clubs want ST holders to go to most matches rather than use their ticket only when they can. Not sure what the answer is. I put my sons on ticket exchange most weeks which from a club’s point of view means I’m not selling it on the tout marketThere are Blues who sell their tickets on to touting agencies just like there are at virtually every top flight club. The clubs are probably the bigger culprits. It’s rife at Liverpool and the rags and Tod Boehly has made several businesses by exploiting ticket reselling.
It’s been like that for at least 50 years. The recently deceased Quality Street Gang member, Jimmy the Weed, talks of bundles of many hundreds of tickets received from the rags and only 11k of tickets for Utd’s cup finals in the late 70s were sold directly to fans.
The masses of genuine fans are getting penalised partly because of this and the club’s eagerness to maximise income.
Nothing. Does it have to be. This topic is about non-attending seasoncard holders.Marvin, what has your post got to do with the bbc article ?
