I wondered how long it would take for the Derby Day win good feeling to wear off!! So you travel ten mes each way further than the cockney rags did on Sunday.

No it has not worn off as yet but a bit tired and irritable after my heroic journey :-). Not sure of the relevance to the cockney rags as I am unfortunately an exiled Mancunian having moved for work reasons and have attended regularly since the 80s.

The current system we have, loyalty points and cup schemes, is the fairest way of distributing tickets and I cannot see how offering Wembley tickets just because a person has attended one particular game as improving the system, particularly if that persons previous attendance at games is not even considered.

I have got my reservations about the cup scheme but can understand the reasons the club has introduced it. But to offer final tickets based upon attending one game would only alienate people.

OK fair points but a lot of peoe who don't go tomorrow will be demanding a Cup Final ticket if we get there. I can understand it if people have a very long way to travel, have too many family responsibilities, or are broke etc.

I hope you saw lots of deflated rags on the way home.

It is a fine line between incentivising fans to attend games such as this and alienating long term supporters so I do understand your point about encouraging fans to attend.

The fairest way seems to be offering additional loyalty points for attending games such as this so fans lower down the pecking order can build up their points. If I remember rightly, a few years ago, 50 loyalty point was awarded for the Reading Cup match but the club seem to have discontinued this policy.

Just read this now on the OS..

Which has made me wonder, I know someone who has a junior season card who won't be going to the game, would this offer enable me to use their card to get in?

It's an opportunity for any parent not taking their child to take a mate.

Would the holder of the concessionary ticket have to be on the cup scheme?

I did wonder this, anyone clear that up?
 
Removed myself from all cup schemes for this season. Just can't afford it.

Decided to save my money and watch on the telly.

"if you're watching on the telly you're a ****"

Ain't on the tele though, is it?

I'm just glad it's only £15, but I think the team will play with a lot more cohesion than last year against Villa.
 
me & the junior blue are going and we don't are if we're the only ones there.
she'll be wering her new lucky shirt which has seen us win 4-0, 2-0 and 4-1 so far this season so expecting a goalfest!

I dunno about it being on UK-Sky or anything but I know it is being broadcast in UAE
 
I'm going and since the swansea home game the season we won the title I've been to 6 games at the etihad and we've won them all. 4-0 on four occasions, the 4-1 derby just gone and a 3-2, just the 26 goals in 6 games! We'll probably draw 0-0 against wigan now and lose on penalties.










Just kidding ;)
 
Wigan will probably bring about 300.

So with that in mind and our fans, i'll go for 28,580.

As soon as the draw came out, i know at least 20 people and myself included who all said the same thing...

'' i wish it was away instead''.

Spot on re Wigan. I was at the EDS game last night and was speaking to the bloke in charge of stewarding. Wigan have sold 300 and he reckons they are looking at 25k.
