Here's a question JRB would you like it if that was the norm at the Etihad and you were orchestrated by some bloke at the front with a megaphone.

No.
No .
No.
Not for me.
It's bad enough going to a game surrounded by tourists.
I bumped into a mate I've not seen since I was 16 on the Kippax.
At the game on Saturday.
It was brilliant to see him.
And his mates.
Talking about the old days and been shit.
We didn't need any fake shit then.
We don't now.
Lower prices.
Fuck tourist and half n half cunts off.
Fill the ground with proper blues and the atmosphere will come

100%.

Ticket pricing, (which is one of the smallest parts of the clubs revenue), is the key to re engaging with our fan base across all age groups.

If the pricing is affordable, and the conditions are realistic, we can fill the stadium for every game.

I believe the club and fans are close to a tipping point on this matter.

So many have become priced out, and equally as many are having to be selective about which schemes they can afford.

Prices for midweek cup games are increasingly an issue, but pricing per se the core of the problem.

The Sheikh's introductory letter, following the take over, majored on the value and loyalty of our fan base.

That sentiment has been disregarded for several years now as the club has rinsed the fans year after year.

If the Sheikh's sentiment has changed we should be told so that we know where we stand, and can make our decisions from an informed position.

Come clean City.

Several club actions should be introduced asap before irreparable damage is caused to our relationship and support.

1) A price reduction across all catagories of tickets for next season.
2) A price freeze,at those lower prices, for the following 3 seasons.
3) Flexible and realistic pricing for all 'low grade' CC, FA & CL Cup fixtures.
4) Kid a Quid and Dads & Lads pricing for selected fixtures particlarly around school term holidays.

There are other matters, ie agency sales to non members, which should also be pragmaticly reviewed

The club must re engage with its core (and aging), predominantly working, Mancunian fan base, whilst investing and incentivising young fans of the future.

Someone within the club is seriously misreading both the pricing policy, and the mood, of an increasingly disenfranchised fan base.

The most loyal fans in football are pissed off with being taken for granted, taken advantage of, and ignored.

That person should read the Sheikh's letter and act on his wise words !!

Well said.
I've had a season ticket since about 1990.
I've let someone else use it this season.im not willing to pay what it is now.
I had a mates ticket on Saturday.
46 quid it cost me.
I think.
That hit it home.
46 ish quid.
No ta .
I've had enough.
It's just too expensive.
Make it 30 quid city and the ground will be full with proper fans again.
But they would rather have a half full ground of tourists who pay fuck knows how much.
Spend fortune in the shop and make loads of wank videos for tic too twats.
Who in turn go the week later and so the same.
We really are on the edge of a cliff at the moment.
On the pitch and off it.
Keep this up we loose more proper fans .
On the pitch we have a period of not been the best team.
These tourists will fuck off and the real fans will be gone.
It's an easy fix.
But they won't do it cos all they care about is money.
I remember a mate who's a stoke fan taking the piss when we got taken over saying we had sold our sole to the devil.

Good post.

Khaldoon briefly mentioned ticket prices and affordability saying the issue will be addressed at the end of part 2 end of season speach. We'll have to wait till next year to see if he was blowing hot air or not. He has said a few times he values our Mancunian fans but it seems to me he only values local Mancs who can afford it.

I'm interested to know how many longstanding SC holders have given up renewing since the takeover. I gave up 2 ago and I got no email or phone call asking why I wasn't renewing. I feel like they don't care about former SC holders like me because they make a lot more money selling match tickets that were previously SC seats. I pick and choose my games nowadays but I'm not paying full price for a ticket when I can buy tickets off here.

The Sheikh isnt the devil and he isnt a fool,but there is a strange and dangerous disconnect between words and actions currently.

Mike Summerbee understands our history loyalty and culture. I truly hope that he can have some influence on our behalf.

Yes he's not the devil.
But it does feel like we've sold our sole.
So the club can fuck real fans off to replace us with cash machines.
Who film it like the **** behind me on Saturday.
I've been twice this season.
I don't know when I'll go again.
I've not missed a home derby since my first 5.1 in 1989.
I'm not bothered I'm not going in a couple of weeks.
If it doesn't change I'll not be arsed if I don't go again

I dont think we've sold our soul....but some key remedial and positive actions are required quickly.

Following our phenominal success and enjoyment in the last 13 years, (particularly with the shambles of the out of town imposters), we should be the happiest fans and club on the planet, playing to a packed, atmospheric stadium every match

The fact that we're not screams.... MANAGEMENT PROBLEM !!

Are you there Khaldoon ??
