That’s my issue with it exactly. For this game I will have to get onto an online scrum which might take an hour to have a chance of tickets for my lads, even though they’ve attended over 100 City games each. Coach bookings should not be allowed for fixtures with selling restrictions.
Correct. I dont think many people would have a problem with 50 kids from Dundee coming today, as any blues who want to attend will be able to get a ticket. That's clearly not the case for Liverpool.
If the school that the kid goes to in Manchester applies for the group package and is successful (I'm guessing there's a limit to how many they sell) then they'll be able to go, regardless of who they support.
But that relies on the school doing that, we currently have no examples of that happening.
Did you have to pay anything to get them on the pitch ?
Nope. I actually received an email out of the blue, although I do click enter on any comps I see on the official site, it didnt read like they had won a comp and both kids got to do it? We've got a fair few loyalty points and the kids have travelled to a lot of aways so not sure if it was picked because of that? The girls absolutely loved it though, the people we dealt with were an absolute credit to the club, they went the extra yards to make it special.

Thats the thing. City (through Danny Wilson) were absolutely brilliant with our Ukrainian refugee family, with tickets, a shirt, hospitality, a meeting with zinchenko, etc. but then they cut off my lad’s season tickets and broke a three generation link with the club, maybe forever.
Plenty. The tickets will sell out in minutes when they go on sale to members in October. Same happened for the United game.£20 for Junior Membership.
How many of those Juniors won’t get a ticket for the Liverpool game?

I did see your post the other day regarding your lads, I didnt comment as it seemed you weren't sure whether to post as it was clearly raw. I was fuming reading it, absolutely disgusting way of treating fans. It seems those within the club who can see the human side of a discussion go the extra mile, but many just see us as a number and follow the rules as they see them.
Might not be a millstone round their necks as some seats will sell, the problem is that it won't be anywhere near full on a regular basis unless they slash prices even further, and that's unlikely mid-season.
I think its absolutely fine for people to be in the ground who don't know who Ricky Hatton is , not every football fan follows boxing. If however they got in without meeting the criteria everyone else had to in order to buy a ticket that's a different matter.
