I am no lawyer,a retired doctor.. There are some great legal brains on this site who can advise better than me..However, I care for my club and all City fans, and the idea some of you are losing out by booking early, using companies to arrange travel and accommodation etc.concerns me... So..without prejudice, some thoughts.
If you have used a company to book travel and accommodation and they are ATOL protected they have to abide by making sure their contract with you is fair.Yes, they can have disclaimers, but they have to be within the spirit of the law. I appreciate this may not help you at this moment in time, but contracts have to be reasonable.
Personally, I feel many fans will be scuppered by these deals.The most loyal fans , those true Blues,who will try to see us win the CL for the first time may well lose out.
If the rules dont change, there will be many who will lose out financially having paid out in expectation, and not be able to again pay money to enter the City 24 hour bubble. A severe blow.
I live in Kent, not a season ticket holder, never imagined that may be I could get a ticket. But with what has happened that maybe feasible. However the concept of flights just from Manchester for Blues, the whole debacle of the 24 hour bubble does annoy me as Chelsea fans have Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted and Luton to travel from. Hardly fair.
Lets wait and see. Wish you my very best.
