What percentage of tickets go to the club allocation?

I've no problem if the players want to bring their parents, friends etc and get a couple of tickets each but surely the kit man, tea lady and chef don't need a couple of tickets for their mates to go or sell on

I really hope non of it is true which it seems.

I heard two Dublin lads talking on the Met tonight. They have two season tickets shared between six people and come over from Ireland at random because there aren’t two of them who can afford to come over for every game.

But due to the number of them that share it, their seats are always occupied

Enforce this rule and people like that as well as my mates who share tickets, can no longer go.

Having spoken to the Club they have acknowledged the tickets were taken from their own regular Club allocation for this match, noting that fans wearing shirts of any team other than Manchester City is not appropriate. The Club have assured me that this will not be repeated, which I am keen to see in practice.

That said, I recognise the wider concerns that fans have around ticketing transparency and safeguards, which I will continue to pick up.

I’ve been banging this drum for years in correspondence with City in surveys.

I hate seeing fans wearing shirts and colours of other clubs in our stands both at the Etihad and our away ends at other grounds.

It’s not only disrespectful to us and our players that they aren’t one of us and aren’t there to support us, it’s annoying as it feels like they’re sticking two fingers up at every Blue who could be there instead.

I don’t even like seeing someone in an Oldham Roughyeds or Sake Sharks hat at City games, never mind full kit wankers wearing a rival football team’s shirt.

People should not be allowed entry to the stadium with other club badges, shirts, scarves, hats, coats on. Should be banned like away fans have finally had their annoying drums banned from the away end on European nights.

It should be stipulated when oeoooe buy tickets that other club’s colours will not be tolerated in our stands.
