if you believe that this money has anything to do with buying players like Aguero you are very mistaken gate receipts hardly cover wages.

I said they wouldn't catch up if 10% was held back for a ballot. you sunshine have serious issues with people that are better than you. you have to be a leftie.
Are you 100% wrong in everything? Or just the posts you make in here?

Exactly
Last four games all with empty seats, where are all these people desperate to get to games at the moment
They're desperate to get to the 'big' games but would rather sit in front of the telly for the others
A ballot only benefits the ones who rarely can be arsed to go to an away game
Add Norwich in the cup & Sunderland in league cup.
Also games earlier in the year went to open sale or V low points - Palace, Villa, Everton semi final.
I'd also hazard a guess that Soton, Swansea & Chelsea will struggle to sell out if we don't look like challenging for the league.
I do agree that we have an aged away following for many games, but I don't see evidence that masses of younger fans are being blocked from attending (at the moment).

In this modern age, you'd seriously support the old way over the current way ? You'd actually support people queuing for hours with vouchers, and front pages of programmes from away games ?It is surprising how many points whores do not seem to be aware of the old ways how you had to qualify for away and cup tickets. I don't see any mention of the little vouchers in the season ticket books and queuing at Maine Road on alternate Saturdays mornings, let alone coupons in home programmes or the front page of away tickets.
I've not lived in or around Manchester since 1981, yet I manage to get enough away tickets to satisfy me every season, and I'm now what would be described as on 'middle points', being around the 11000 mark. I'm much more in favour of cheaper away tickets, as we still won't sell out some games, so if you want to go you can, and the biggest complaint about the current system is for a minority of games like Bournemouth, or united, where it sells out early, but there are as many (if not more) that go to open sale, so choose your games. I work shifts and that includes weekends, so I have to pick and choose when I can get to away games, as I try to attend most home games too, and making away tickets cheaper is a start, even if it means I'm less likely to get an away ticket.
I'm no cynic but...

As Media City is just a short distance from the swamp and therefore more in keeping with the need to keep the cash starved BBC to it's budget, then I too thought of this same bias as you did.Just seen this on the news as i go in. Rag bias BBC cant help themselves though and reported this outside the Etihad and mentioned only the cost of our away tickets

Yep, rows and rows of empty seats at Sipunderland in the Cup, and the others went to open sale as you say. Although I thought the SC always took up the slack when there was a low take up from independent fansAdd Norwich in the cup & Sunderland in league cup.

A ballot will lead to more empty away ends once the novelty has worn off for these new fans. The ones with their nose put out of joint will find batter things to do with their money and the team will suffer.

don't say that, I'm looking forward to looking down my nose at them.Yep, rows and rows of empty seats at Sipunderland in the Cup, and the others went to open sale as you say. Although I thought the SC always took up the slack when there was a low take up from independent fans

Well we've already had the ex rag initiative of picking up tickets at the game, although we diasagree on that one, and now another rag initiative on ballots. The bald weasley **** organising this had better watch his back.don't say that, I'm looking forward to looking down my nose at them.
