Away tickets

[andyhinch]

I’m not sure your all looking at the problem in the right way, I can get a ticket at any ground from a tout, where are they coming from and what is the club doing about it ?

No you still gotta have the points mate just our secretary applies together,most of the branch regular travelers are on high points.

Not sure how that would work, say Bournemouth away, 8 qualify and 2 don't, do they all lose out?

When I used to buy tickets by post they warned you the lowest points in a group purchase applied to the lot.

Nope the 8 who qualify would get them, for Bournemouth our branch received 2 tickets to give to members with insufficient points to qualify.

1.How did first game Barca away afford to get a fight booked with tickets Uncle Kev ?

 

[mancitymick]

All booked with fans, not bredbury lot ?

Doesn’t look like you detest that terminology since you won’t shut up about it!

You have no hesitation in attacking people in the Supporters Club but you make a massive deal about a nasty word that’s in common parlance when it comes to City away tickets.

I’ve not attacked anybody fella and nor does one post using that terminology on a public forum constitute a ‘massive deal’. Nor do I seek protectionism for any group of supporters unlike your good self. The away ticket problem persists across every group. Therefore every group should be targeted if anyone is to be .... and that includes the supporters clubs. If your mouthpiece on CM wishes to label independent supporters as ‘whores’ then perhaps he should label sections of his own membership the same. Now try and appreciate other people have a different opinion than you and respect their right to reply .... cheers

@Tim of the Oak answer please point 1

Can you please put your question into English?

The ticketing rules we follow are those of Manchester City FC if that answers your question. Yes the Club you have in your user name lol

I hadn’t realised Kev was your Uncle. I bought my ticket in the neutral / international stand. I guess you got a handout. I think it’s a good think for people to use their Initiative to get in the game btw

Why don’t you cut and paste the “offending” text and the context it was used in.

I quite liked the existing ticket system. The new system still rewards loyalty and that’s a good thing.

Forever blue podcast with Cheeseman ... I’m not cut & pasting a video for you but he does say the changes have been bought in as a response to ‘points whores’ ... whilst defending the SC allocation.

I think he would carry considerably more credibility if he acknowledged that the same issues co-exist across all allocations rather than just singling out independent supporters.

For the record 45% of the allocation fails to reward loyalty ... just 55% is allocated according to the points system and unless I’m very much mistaken there are SC members taking their ticket from that 55%. Of course they are entitled but why do the clubs need more tickets beyond that? Same applies to corporate & u25

Calling loyal city fans whores is sexist and disgusting, yet he gets blind support as he has control with the away tickets allocation which is unearned. Before the internet most of the supporters clubs did not exist, and there were not the glory fans from rich north yorkshire districts joining them for example.

The most annoying thing is that Kevin Parker and his ilk brought in the ‘buying tickets to pass on with no intention of going’ to an industrial scale.

You rarely see him, or other prominent members of the Supporters Club (and I’m not including posters in here in that) at away games, unless it’s Real Madrid in the semi final or a glam away tie.

Uncle Kev's fans remind me of trumps base, they'll defend him at all cost. He's a spineless twat & he had some fuckin nerve calling folk points whores.

I think he mix's with the rich and famous being pretty well heeled so chances are we won't see a lot of him in cattle class,I did see him at Roma away though.

Eh really that's rubbish, many supporters clubs have been going long before the internet, I know I used to go with a few mainly round tameside and the odd time with levehulme, prestwich and swinton.
I don't get the criticism of supporters clubs had many a great day with them met many friends and many are loyal blues .
Just because you travel alone doesn't make you a better blue and vice versa , nothing wrong with travelling alone done that many times too.
Supporters clubs have always got tickets and always will get over it.
People didn't complain about it when we were shit and people won't if ever God forbid we go shit again.
Great craic with supporters clubs even tho in not unfortunately a member of one now as I don't do many aways now thank goodness!!

Nice deflection, not answering the post, do you all go through some kind of media training to be like a politician?

Two European away games in six years, that’s a great turn out.
I know a few on here who have been to all of them in those six years, and they are labelled points whores by Parker and his band.

Roma was the first game I went to after packing my job in, I’ve just missed the Shakhtar away since.

The point remains that the exec committee rock up to the big games or new grounds. Other than that you only see them at meetings or the home games.

I'm not deflecting anything just pointing out just because you don't see him or prominent members of the supporters club doesn't mean they're not there, the chairman doe's every game both home and away so your allegations do fall a bit flat.

Many but not the majority as I stated. How many is there now, several hundred, and you name 4.

I did complain about it over a decade ago, just the usual lies the privileged supporter club cabal come up with. The supporters club near me only started in 2011 and none of them could get tickets for the fa cup final, but 6 rocked up on 23/10/11 very smug. The only reason for staring it was getting away tickets they did not merit.

It is a corrupt system giving primacy over a merit based system, but you don't understand why anyone would criticise it? Maybe the caste system in India is justified as it has been around a while, or the fudal system they had in Russia? Time to move from a corrupt system with a leader using sexist nasty language about the real fans. The SCCM cabal smells of crypto fascism, pretending to look after the little guy but actually in bed with the big businesses.

It's also forgotten that until the Keegan era, it wasn't that uncommon for a player to visit a branch.
.

It started a year before under Joe Royle.
Rochdale branch had a player at practically every meeting 97 to 2000 but when back in the PL, Chris Bird announces Joe Royle didnt want the players going out at night to meetings - instead the club organised Roadshows (ie stage managed affairs) and branches were lumped together to attend so Rochdale, Middleton, Moston and Hollinwood branches had their meeting at British Aerospace social club in Chadderton.
