City calling round ex-season ticket holders - drumming up business?

Ubiquitous said:
There are some really sad, bitter blues posting in this thread. I’m glad that I’m not as cynical and joyless as they are.

OP I’m sorry to hear that you missed out on the greatest season in our history for the sake of your principles/stubbornness.

And to the guy who says he would be happy to fuck off our wildly successful and globally respected CEO ... get a grip!

No worries, I'm always happy to stick to my principles and, while I was initially a bit miffed for obvious reasons, I understand that shit happens and I get over stuff soon enough because I'm grown up / old.
On the plus side, it's saved me a fortune, I see every game in glorious HD and it records as I watch so I can pause, rewind, replay as and when.
Also get to have a coffee from my lucky flask (or a cold beer while I watch), and I can have good wholesome food to eat - even butties if I want!

I should explain that my original post related something that happened to me at the start of last season. That's a long time ago, I have no bones to grind over it and I only posted an account of it because I was reminded of it by the call I got from City, earlier today.
I was intrigued by the call and wondered what was behind it. I thought I might start a discussion on the subject and I used myself as an example rather than as something central to the topic. I thought that if I set out my experience then others might do likewise (as some have) so that I / we could swap experiences, give knowledge and generally chew the fat on what's driving these calls.
I can see how it could come across as a hard luck story but it wasn't meant to sound like that. I thought that I'd put enough text around the narative to make that fairly clear but I'm not critical if it's been received out of kilter because I'm always half reading stuff and going off at a tangent myself.
Regardless of how badly I composed my initial post, I've enjoyed a lot of the responses, read some well described recollections, some insightful comments and some kind words, and I'm greatful for all of that. Thanks.
