Barca away criteria

[simon12]

I've got 8070. The points system is fine by me. I've not got a ticket but I am going. The home end will do me.

Had forgotten it was cup scheme first, actually surprised there is that many people on the cup scheme!

You thought there were less than 4600 on the cup scheme?

Did anyone get on the Thomas Cook trip with less than 9000 points?

I applied for Thomas Cook trip but haven't got 9000 points so guess I won't be going but haven't heard anything concrete.wonder if we say got on led in first leg whether that would make any difference to uptake

After thinking we missed out, we got confirmation today from Thomas Cook that we're on the trip with tickets!!! Get in!! 3 of us had 9500 plus points and one 8800!! All of us got tickets. Thomas Cook have separate allocation.

On just over that myself, I'm gonna be in Barca with the thousands of other ticketless blues, everyone just head for a certain area and i'm sure we'll have almost as much fun as those that are lucky enough to be in there. Not too sure about doing the home end cos i know i wouldn't contain myself if either team score (i.e go mental if we score or upset in they score haha)

I think he meant there were that many on the cup scheme that had over 9000 points, not that there were that many on the scheme full stop

Lucky for the guy without enough points, as I've more points, and didn't get a ticket, a TC trip for me isn't practical as I live 3 hours from Manchester, plus I wanted 2 nights out there.

Still going, confident I'll be in the stadium.

Nothing personal against the one with 8800 and has got on it but I think this is wrong. Ever since we got into Europe there has been questions asked about the TC trips and suspicions that if you book with them then you may get on it without having the right number of points.

I always trusted they stuck to the rules but this now confirms they don't. I can understand it, from a business point of view when TC have empty seats on their place they are not going to want to cancel a booking for 4 because one person is 200 short but tell that to the people with more points who missed out. Like I say nothing against the guy who has got on it, I am pleased for anyone who is going, and to be fair he was only just short of the 9k so it's not like he was way off.

Gutted for all those Blues who have forked out on travel and accomodation without a ticket. I won't take the piss. I considered it, but at 5500 points kind of worked out I'd have no chance. However, I still believe that the club should have some responsibility for providing more accurate information for those on the cup schemes.

Once the cup schemes are closed, the club knows exactly how many are signed up. So as soon as the Barca game was drawn for example, they could say 'based on an allocation of 4500 this could potentially sell out at 9000 points'. If anyone took a chance after that, then that's their look out.

Assuming we make the final which we will, C'mon City, I guess there will be an allocation of about 12,000 if we're lucky. Again It would be a great help if the club said 'we have 18,000 members (my guess no inside info) on the Euro cup scheme and we expect this to sell out at 7000 points. This would help prevent every Tom, Dick & Harry like me start re-mortgaging the house to try and make arrangements.

Anyways, good luck to all those out there without tickets. Great place to be on the lash after a famous City win!

For a "bladdered" guy, you talk an awful lot of sense.
Give out the numbers City!
