At City Today.

[we are the east stand]

The club will never win with some. OSCs have been around for years. Its not a new thing. The constant whingeing about OSCs is boring because no particular OSC is ever named and shamed as breaking the rules. It is all rumour mongering. Loads on BM believed that those supporters that had attended early cup rounds deserved a ticket. The club listened and those on the CDS were rewarded. Those with high loyalty points got their wish. The criteria was made very clear for day one sales. The club IMHO did a great job today. Some people will never be happy!

Bang on.
Some people just cant help slagging the club in everything they try to do.

Not necessarily, could have checked the criteria before going and done the following -

any one supporter can purchase up to six tickets, using valid, qualifying Seasoncards. To purchase tickets on behalf of other supporters, the buying supporter must be in possession of each of the respective cards at the time of booking and be prepared to answer a number of security questions relating to each of the card holders including date of birth, postcode and card number.

Exactly this ^^^^ 10 of the 12 were on the cup scheme which made it even easier.

jrb
love your work on BM but i disagree with you on this one because the club have given everyone the opportunity to sit with pals, unfortunately for you that opportunity was not today and there will be others with a similar situation who have to come on another day.

and no, I am not in the OSC, I queued up today too.

i agree
have no issue with you jrb, like your posts, especially in the las vegas thread
but i'm sure you all knew the criteria as you checked it out on here the other day
you thought you might get one in and the club said no

you know i don't like the osc preference and i was there today too

I also agree and was there today and the OSC preferences needs to stop fiddles going on all over the place there

Yep. Met the criteria and done exactly as the club said it would.

I have a bit of a problem with someone saying they could be flexible just for me, it doesn't hurt anyone. If the other 24,000 (or whatever figure it may be) that also didn't meet the criteria today thought the same there would be anarchy.

9 of us went down today, got to ground at 11.30. We wanted 14 seats in total, 12 were on cup scheme and 2 kids were not. We needed 14 seats in total.
Got to the window and got 2 rows of 7, no problems. None of us had the 6000 but 8 of us have over 5500 points. They gave us the extra 2 kids tikets no problem, we had all the details we needed, including season cards for everybody.
It did take 4 1/2 hours but we are happy and no problem getting the £40 tickets we wanted and he asked where we preferred.
not a perfect system but better than Gillingham.

Re: Gary Cook: So Much For The Semi Final Family/Fan Experience

so... common sense? maybe write a letter to the club? im sure they will appreciate feedback positive or negative.

making a thread on bluemoon benefits noone. maybe you feel better in the short term but if you tell the club they may put it within the news next time

The club swear by BM. It's there insight into the whacky world of most City fans.

Not wishing to tempt fate, but I expect to be in the next match programme, on the video screens along with Hugh, and wheeled out at the next Points Of Blue Meeting. Fortunately my suit is already pressed and ready for the forthcoming meeting with Mansour.

On to more serious matters. Does anyone think there will be a long queue at the Chinese Takeaway?(I'm starving) There's 5 of us, but they only do set meals for 4. Arf!

order one and a quarter set meals and you'll be sorted
do they do a loyalty card like buffet metro?
