Thanks for the response mate, much appreciated.
Of all that feedback you received though, how many do you think came from actual match goers, do you think it's a fair reflection of the support you'd have among match goers? After all, it's the match goers whose opinion matters, they'd be the people who'd take part in a protest, and those that are affect by ticket prices.
Among those you know are match goers, what do you think the support of a walkout looked like?
Thanks for the post some interesting stuff which I didn't know. To describe city fans as 'apathetic' re 1894 is interesting, I do get the impression we are actually quite conservative and undemonstrative and quite divided unlike the more firebrand militant left of centre support of Liverpool and the filth.
yeah we think it is reflective. there will be non match go-ers but here are non match go-ers on here. ie look at the threads discussing the game during home games on here. don't be disappointed. it might be a long battle - but if they balls up season ticket prices walk out could come this season.
What I really fear though mate is that without a walk out we're set for yet more increases on season tickets this summer.
I think the club's silence on season ticket renewals while for months other PL club's were announcing freezes or reductions, due to the huge new TV deal making ticket revenue an even more insignificant percentage of a PL club's turnover, really told its own story.
We've had increases every season since the takeover now. Averaging circa 10% each year, well above inflation.
My old man's is £800 in 106 with the £50 platinum scam fee (has to stump it as an away supporter), that's more or less double what it was in 2008.
The biggest problem for me is that this is part of a wider trend which we should all be worried about, I don't think Soriano and Glick give a toss about the supporters, and just wish to monetise us for all we're worth. I think we're on a very slippery slope.
One of the biggest recent signals for me was when the club gave the new corporate lite season ticket holders access to any away ticket regardless of points, even harder to get tickets for the biggest away games of the season now. Shitting on the very most core support for a few quid.
As has been pointed out before, they know they price of everything and the value of nothing.
You know things are getting bad when you look across the road and the rags have had their season ticket prices frozen for 5 consecutive years.
have to wait and see but for those who feel strongly about it everyone has a chance to get involved now, whether it's walking out, holding up a banner, chanting £60 you're having a laugh or simply not going to the psg game.
Bollocks mate....
And we are all in this together, or we should be, the other fella is acting extremely selfishly, and has chosen to go it alone and troll those who wish to encourage that unity which will benefit all of us. Hence him getting some stick, thoroughly deserved I might add.
Just seem the statement on sky sports news app .how have they got hold of it ?
The season before last v Bayern my ticket in 106 was £58. What is all the fuss about?
