A s**t away end full of tourists

[M23 Citizen]

Isn't that in the dippers end?

No that’s our away section

To be fair I think pricing and the way tickets are allocated is the biggest issue right now for fans of most clubs. We’re being priced out and what’s the point in success if you can’t get tickets to watch.

Indeed it is.

It’s not massively important what we win, where we are in the league, even what league we’re in… the most important thing is the fanbase.

It isn't bollocks. I never said it was consistent but I used to keep my fingers crossed I'd get an away ticket and I would sometimes lose out because we didn't take the extra 1,500. Happened for a game at Chelsea back in 2007, when I was living down in West London and I missed out. And that was a 3pm kickoff.

And even without having the top points, I could get tickets for the game at Anfield back then

It was Baltic, think we sold about 2300 out of 5000 available. Reduced allocations were seen at all over the country, the team was poor and the prices ridiculous, I earnt 1000s of points in this era, anyone of a certain age could have easily done the same but places like Wigan and Bolton even saw modest City followings due to cost

It looks like someone has a dippers flag. How did he not get a slap long before the penalty?

Let's hope it doesn't happen but I'd give anything for that Hamburg atmosphere again.. proper blues in every part of the the ground and an inflatable Fergie face penis to throw around the East Stand.

Imagine trying to get Fergie cock into the Etihad now. And even if you did get Fergie cock into the Etihad uninflated, and blew Fegie cock up inside the Etihad, the stewards would be all over you. You and Fergie cock would be ejaculated. ;-)

The good old days before the people running City began sanitising the Etihad.

Just type City v Utd into your browser and see what comes up! Tickets for EVERY stand, EVERY section, home (loads), away (not so many but £375!). Must be sanctioned by the club(s), who are surely making extra cash somehow.
You’d hope the regulator will sort this shit out but, as it seems money talks in football at least as loudly as everywhere else, I’d imagine it’s a forlorn hope.
Funny how streaming the game gets you banged up but selling a £30 away ticket for £300+ is perfectly acceptable……….

The club has failed many loyal fans .

I wonder if there's been meetings upstairs to get this to this direction. "Well they spend here" "well they can sit here".

Surely its so utterly stupid to alienate hardcore fans who bring atmosphere. That's what draws more people to the club, and thus more money and provides what the tourists want, I can't imagine they want silence unless I'm completely wrong.

I'm not just blaming tourists for silence either but just give those who want to chant, in large numbers, the opportunity to sit together.

Is that not football in general though. Not a patch on what it used to be every action under a microscope looking for any reason to give a fan a ban because it offends someone somewhere or it could cause bad press.

Coincided with ticket prices this is equally the biggest factor that has put people off,being reported and having tickets suspended for just standing it’s ridiculous and tragic. It’s a big part of all our lives but I’d be lying if I say I’m not becoming tired of it all.

Would it not be easier if every club gave each other say 150 corporate seats in a away corporate section, then let them outbid and shaft each other , and let the seat tickets go to those genuine fans who actually deserve it.
