A s**t away end full of tourists

[Brightwell Bros.]

I think the club should be much more transparent about where away tickets go. I personally have never thought it's the club pocketing an extra bit of cash, but someone somewhere is letting non-City fans go to games that I don't have a chance of getting despite me being at the Etihad every home game. Really bugs me.

i had one ok, but paid 80 quid for another blue to get them in, what an away day that was, a real City following, each and every one there, inside and out lived and breathed for City, not a tourist within a million miles of Ewood Park, i wonder how many there that day have been forgotten by City

Me and a mate were in the Darwen End. 1-0 down at HT and queuing for a beer the fukers were sing "bluemoon started singing to soon" really pissed me off so when we equalized I jumped up and cheered-got a few blows to the head but the police relocated us to the away end so all good.

Off topic but;

I’ve not been to an away game for a number of years but I’m always struck by our away contingent seems to have the same faces. Either during the game, Cheeseman’s vlogs or the YouTube guys, always the same people.

Wouldn’t it be great if the away tickets were on a ballot and let everyone who wants to go have the same chance?

I remember them singing that.

They'll be old hands in supporters clubs probably. They do allocate a proportion of the away tickets to 18/25 year olds.

No one was calling for a ballot when we were shite were they , yet the people who went then and amassed loyalty points are being shafted now constantly

No, it wouldn’t be great. It would be shit. You’d have 10,000 in the ballot for United and the lads who have barely missed an away game for decades, would nearly all miss out.

Then you’d have a run of say, Tottenham, Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon and Brighton, all away, in the space of 11 days. And the lads who would normally be at all four of them would be pissed off and tell them to stick their ballot. Except there wouldn’t even be a ballot because they wouldn’t be able to give them all away, as the 10,000 who wanted United tickets, were all washing their hair on those days.

On the flip side, I've amassed a lot of loyalty points based upon a platinum season ticket since the scheme started, plus cup game direct debits. I used to go to a lot of away game between 2001 and 2009.

In reality, I haven't been to more than a dozen away games in the last fifteen years and, quite frankly, haven't got a lot of wish to go to many more. However, I check the criteria on a regular basis and I don't think there has been an away game where I couldn't have got a ticket if I so wished.

Quite frankly, despite all my loyalty points, given that my last away game in England was in 2017, despite the fact I never miss any home games, I'm not really sure that I should be in the queue for United away ahead of somebody who goes to all the away games now but simply isn't old enough to have built up the accumulated total that I have in the 25 years since we brought loyalty points in.

Try going to one then instead of coming on here talking a pile of shit.

I see the photo of the ‘Barca 8’ is now doing the rounds on social media sites - with loads of the expected ‘plastic’ responses.

Shame on everybody at City responsible for turning us into a joke !
