“City Matters” fan committee

But surely the club can only add the points to the members who have enough points. so in this case the five with enough points have the points added and can't then apply for more tickets or am I being stupid.

Not stupid but don’t have it right.
The five members who have bought from the club, even though not going, get their points.
The five members who buy them from the branch have the points added as the branch tells the ticket office the Supporter numbers of those going. It doesn’t matter if they had enough points as they get them through the branch regardless of how many points were needed by an independent to get the ticket.

We are taking 25 out of our moderate size Supporters Club Branch

We are taking four out of our family of five. 80% turnout.

And these contracts the club take on for financial gain help pay for players like KDB, the two Silvas, Sergio, Sterling etc. Otherwise it comes from ticket prices. Did you realise that City, excluding profits on transfers, have operated at a loss every single year so far since the takeover? Yet you think they should increase ticket prices 10% or shouldn't take on contracts because those contracts might affect 100 fans for 2 or 3 games? We're a commercial business not a fucking charity.

Now that is silly, that the contract with TC equates to cancelling out a 10% increase in ticket prices, I never said any such thing.

You quote affect 100 fans for 2 or 3 games those 100 tickets are coming from a very small pool after corporate and the Club and SC have already had their fill. Agreed the club is no charity, but for a supporters rep to be agreeing inclusion of tickets from a small pool as part of a commercial deal is not correct. How will you feel when we reach the Champions league final, and tickets are in short supply, but Billy who has less [Loyalty] points than you, pays to go on the TC trip and gets a ticket, and you miss out by 100 points via the normal route?
I imagine that the guaranteeing of tickets to TC in the new contract is only a sweetener, to guarantee TC profit by the running the trips, and that there is NO added monetary return in the contract for the Club. So your 10% on ticket prices is totally invalid.

Last year City paid for Corporates to go against Shahktar to fill up the plane.

I hope that’s a joke mate

No mate. I am talking about last season rather than the game a few months ago. I can understand why people go Corporate!!

I ummed and ahhhed about going to that game but the cost was prohibitive, yet some went for free? That’s a piss take on those who paid full price, who probably earn a lot less than those who got the freebie.

Hi squirts - don’t suppose you have one spare for Huddersfield do you? Got one in the home end but not quite the same is it?!

Isn't that where the whole system falls flat then as those with too few points can still get them from the branch. And surely when the branch supplies the supporter number and the club realise that the person doesn't have enough points, what happens then?

I took it as how wonderful SC's are in taking up slack whereas probably not needed for this game.
