Of course they have. But they haven't done it out of the goodness of their hearts or because they felt sorry for us. They've done it to promote the image of Abu Dhabi and to make a return on their investment. As much as they may have "given" us, they've taken other things away.
At last, someone talking sense instead of Blue Moan Forum constant whingers about this, that and the other no matter what.Time to put aside our beef with the club over ticketing and really make Etihad a Fortress when PSG come to town. Really get in the French pansy's faces and make it hell for them !
This is the biggest game we will have in years.
Not at all so why do you think they took us over?
So what was the alternative, go down the pan like Leeds have? I know which path I'd rather choose even if I don't agree with all the things 'they' have done or doingOf course they have.

Absolutely, great result tonight so lets focus on WBA and then PSG next Tuesday. £40 tickets available for any Blues who want to go. Those who are happy to pay £60 have nearly snapped them all up.Well, if you do manage to tear yourself away from the ticket price debate, by the way, only 3000 will pay £60..., they're going like hotcakes on the website, several hundred per minute, move yourselves...!

Spot on. If they'd charged the same as Kiev we'd have a full stadium roaring the side on.
£20 - £40 isn't even cheap but we'd have 55,000 blues willing us into the semis.
As it is we'll probably have 10,000 less than that and half of them will be half and half scarf wearing tourists more interested in taking photos than supporting the lads. Shame.

You won't be there either then...Huge shame. Might just watch it on the tv and hope we get to the semi. I'll pay 50 quid for a semi.
You are usually the pinacle of common sense, but you are talking shit tonight PB. Sorry.
never gonna be like hamburg with those prices. the wrong type of people will be going.
Believe me that was the stark alternative and not many know that more than I do. So I'm happy with the takeover and our ownership, certainly compared to the alternative. It's been a brilliant lesson in brand building and I'd rather go to Wembley for an FA or League Cup final than a League One third-place play-off.So what was the alternative, go down the pan like Leeds have?

You pal need to listen to this smart man's post below:

It`s important to me and any game that City play is. If that`s how you feel, well that`s how you feel. Unfortunately I could not go to Paris tonight but was at Sevilla and it was absolutely brilliant. Everyone watching it our full front room here tonight felt that it was a great result and tomorrow we will not have a media backlash but a begrudging respect for our Club. Felt nothing? Each to their own I suppose.Do you know. I felt nothing at the final whistle. I really couldn't give a shit about the CL, even though it's clearly important to the owners.
