City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[Prestwich_Blue]

That got me when we played Arsenal in the semis last year at Wembley arrogant bastard's coming on, I won't bother getting a ticket for the semis I'll wait till we get to the final.

But many couldn't afford two trips to Wembley.

We never had 2 trips

We never had 2 trips

We would have if we'd won. Maybe people could only afford one and wanted to save their money for the final. There's no compulsion to attend games and, let's be honest, the League Cup - with its weakened teams and bad timing - is generally the lowest on ever fans list of priorities.

I'm fed up with so-called City fans telling others how to spend their money or their time.

I wasn't telling them how to spend there money I was merely pointing out the arrogance of fans assuming we'd beat Arsenal and get through to the final.

And I was pointing out that it might well not have been arrogance but the fact that maybe a family of 4 couldn't afford 2 lots of travel, tickets and food & took the chance that we would win, rather than assuming we would. You appear to have a particularly dismissive attitude towards people who don't have your resources or share your outlook.

the fa cup games was a £10 for adults and £1 for kids, It was 3pm on a Saturday. It has never bothered me with the empty seats jibe because i go to watch my team, if it was only me and my lad there I wouldn't care. The club must be happy with amount of fans going to the cup games 1, they aren't advertised everywhere 2, they aren't compulsory with your season ticket. Maybe adding the group stages of the champions league to our seasoncard would be a better idea. They are guaranteed fixtures, where as we are waiting for the cup draws.

Agree that group stage champs league games should be included in season ticket cost

Your point doesn't add up a family of 4 didn't have to fork out as we didn't get there do you not comprehend my point it was nothing to do with going twice it was the were going to get to the final so I won't bother with the semis, you sound upset about it have I touched a nerve

have you never heard of financial planning? I think for many the decision was "well, we can't afford to do both so we'll miss the semi in the hope we get to the final, rather than do the semi knowing we would then miss out on the final".

We sold all tickets for Wembley and have done each time so it’s a bit of a red herring for me. Fact is wed’ve shifted more tickets last night playing the rags and would most likely have done if it was the second leg with all to play for. There are plenty of blues who could’ve gone last night without bit causing poverty. For me it’s the quality of the opposition and the thought process that the game is simply a forgone conclusion. The tenacity of Bristol proved that that was a flawed thought process!

Personally i'd love to attend more games,unfortunately i have a job which prevents that from happening.I know of half a dozen other Blues who work alongside me who would also attend more frequently given the chance.

There are many reasons for none attendance,so in regards this topic.....no one has the right to judge others.
