Agreed, but they should discriminate in favour of those who have a history of attending games over the past 20 years.
Agreed in turn.

As you know, I go to Wales. I can buy as a tournament ticket holder before general sale and aways go on recent loyalty too.

In many ways, the FAW make City’s ticket office look great but they’ve got the basics right with loyalty etc.
 
After winning the World Club trophy, no City PL match for over a week and a half, a day on the beer, local legacy City fans getting most of the away tickets, it should be a good away end tomorrow night.
 
Probably because many people are priced out of it in this country
New all seater stadiums are shite in the main. Not one has improved the atmosphere since the first one was built at the Riverside about 20 years ago. These new stadiums (including city's) have so many problems such as changing the route that fans go to matches (talk about taking away the emotional link that fans had with the community) and depriving them of popping into the pubs that generations before did. (I know most pubs closed now anyway). When fans eventually get to these soulless, miles out of town all seater stadiums, (often behind a 'big Asda' or Halfords or whatever.) its about 11.45 in the morning for a shite kick off time. We really have done everything possible to take away the joy of an old fashioned match day experience. This is before we mention VAR and over. We have done everything possible to ruin what was a rare thing of working class beauty..I blame Thatcher for starters.....

I can’t agree with that. Some of the biggest Blues I’ve ever met live nowhere near the city.

There is no chance whatsoever that City will try to positively discriminate for locally based fans.

I get what you’re saying and I agree some of the biggest blues aren’t from Manchester or greater Manchester, but I don’t think it’s no chance whatsoever for some tickets. Liverpool for instance have tickets that are only available for people with an L postcode. This is because it became apparent locals couldn’t get tickets for games, which I hope never happens at city. The people of Manchester should always be able to go to their local side.

Besides, If prices are affordable everyone would have access. It wouldn’t matter then. Not that the above suggestion will happen anytime soon.
