IMHO there is nothing more pathetic than a fan complaining to the press about their own club.

It again comes back to the closed market aspect doesn't it? If you were treated that way by any other company, you'd complain; but because it's 'your team', you're somehow expected not to bat an eyelid at such shoddy service?

IMO, those without tickets at this stage are right to be aggrieved, and are most likely basing the assumption that there will be problems and long queues at the first home game on past experiences.

Complain to the club and they will sort it. Never a need to go to the papers, talk about washing your dirty laundry!

Pictures of a 'furious' face just makes the fan look like a prat.
 
He does look a gormless get in that picture but he is upset.

I like the part about it being his leisure time

Mine has not arrived, I rang the club and can collect a paper ticket anytime. Not great but not the end of the world either

Yeah he does look a bit of a dope (apologies if he's a bluemooner!), but I reckon the MEN have contacted him, rather than the other way round.
 
Second time this week ive been told my paper ticket will be sent only the one today is going first class and will be here tomorrow. well I told the guy in the ticket office that I wont be holding my breath I explained to him that I will be working Sunday until 2.30 PM so wont have time to queue up for my ticket his reply was well come to the ticket office at 3.30 PM then you wont have to queue . Ok I will just explain to hundreds of fans that a bloke in the ticket office said i can jump the queue because ive just finished work . WTF

Make no bones about it, any City fan acting like Mr Groom is a bit of a tosser. City fan or not. "Leisure time".. FFS! Grade A w*******

BUT.... the little cretin at the MEN, namely Chris Slater is the protagonist on this article.

As suspected. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
 
Ive not got my season ticket or the paper ticket but I am not prepared to criticise the club.

I am in level 3, in a new stand, watching world class players for £299 a season.

In 99 I had to queue up for 8 hrs to get my ticket to wigan away in the semi and 11 hrs for my Gillingham ticket.

If I have to queue up for a few hours sunday no big deal. I would have gladly walked over broken glass a few years ago to see a team like this.

I cannot understand how anyone can criticise this club. We are blessed.

It is nothing more than a minor irritant. Incidentally I am travelling from over 230 miles away. I am no happy clapper but this club is outstanding in the service it provides. Looking at the overall picture I doubt there is a more fortunate fanbase.

Good man yourself there.

I hope your wait on Sunday is not too long (if it hasn't already arrived)
 
Can see why you'd be aggrieved if you hadn't received your ticket, but it would less hassle to contact the club and resolve it than it would be to contact the MEN to complain. Maybe it's just me, but I can't understand those who pose for a photo looking pissed off in the local paper.

I'm in the same boat as you, no seasoncard and no paper ticket as of yet. I haven't complained, i was also in that queue outside maine road for 99 final tickets, i was about 11 and camped out overnight with my dad to ensure we got tickets but the queueing for that is no comparison to this situation. It's entirely reasonable to expect to have a ticket in some form 2 days before the game when you've paid for it 3 months beforehand. I've made plans to go out early doors on Sunday as i'm sure many others have, that's now all going to fall to pieces if i'm forced to go to the ticket office probably a few hours before the game and queue for a ticket i should of received weeks ago. It's not the end of the world by any means but it's a massive inconvenience we're all going to have to endure through no fault of our own. People have every right to be pissed off at that. Just because we're all fans of the club it doesn't mean the club shouldn't be criticised when it's deserved, we'd be Liverpool fans if that were the case. Sadly, in this instance the criticism is most definitely deserved. With a good number not receiving cards or replacements, others receiving duplicate cards and the very unfortunate few being told days before the first game that their seat that they've paid for 3 months ago doesn't actually exist, it's undeniably been a complete shambles all around.
 
Not an advocate of running to the press, but the Club have definitely cocked-up the season cards.

They were selling tickets for the extension going off architects drawings before they actually started putting in the seats, a recipe for disaster in itself.

They offered personalised cards that never happened and no form of apology was given on the Official web site.

We still do not help ourselves as a Club - "Cups for Cock-Ups" as famously stated by Francis Lee.
