This, i agree. Suprised that our 'fans' refuse too not give the lads some support just because its in the theatre of shite! Its a shit hole but at the end of the day its a football ground (only just) like the other 19 in the league haThe Northern Baptist said:I find this 'I don't go to Old Trafford because I'm not giving them my money' frankly pathetic.
Imagine everyone had the same thought process? no one supporting the lads on derby day - nice one!
This usually comes from people who are more than happy to see others fork out £50 to support the team on their behalf.

You've missed out the biggest points whores who are organised and doing it on an industrial scale, they are called Supporters Clubs, which makes you last but one sentence quite ironicmanchester blue said:thelegde said:As a "points whore" with over 15000, I've been going home and away for nearly 50 years, so the advantage I get from staggered sales is basically to be first in the queue for the cheapest tickets.

I think you misunderstand what a points whore is. A points whore can be found on various social media offering to buy tickets for games he has no intention of going to and selling them on to people he does not know to collect points for games he has not attended. He does this to "help fellow blues" but in effect is helping himself up the points scale and actually stops other "fellow blues", who would otherwise have qualified legitimately, from getting a ticket.
People, like yourself, who have amassed such points, are supporters.
The club need to ban the people whoring out their points. They're not hard to find.

The reality a supporters' club will get as many tickets than the aforementioned Superbia fan if that is indeed true. Not that I agree with clubs getting tickets but it's been a long standing tradition since the bad old days.
I am a fan of points system but the fine detail needs sorting out starting with points only being given for home games. Get your points up by attending City v Chesterfield in the cup in January not by attending the glamour away games. Away games have little commercial gain for City so why give points?
LOL. What name are you going to get on the back of your shirt then? And don't forget to buy the jigsaw of the Deputy Financial Controller while you're in the Megastore.The Northern Baptist said:I find this 'I don't go to Old Trafford because I'm not giving them my money' frankly pathetic.

And why would you not go just because it's at united !
as prices rise and ko times get even more bizaar the older blues like myself will think "fuck that" as i the upcoming palace game. loads of blues i know are swerving this. tickets will be there to be had, points are there to be had.. lets see if it sells out at even medium points level.
*doesn't hold breath*
There is a good reason why some have a higher loyalty point count than others is going off experience they have a higher income, simply they could afford to go, I know many who would love to go but can't cos they have mortgages/rent and bills to pay, the very same people you are saying to get a ticket for palace are ones who couldn't afford it . It cost the best part of 100-200 pounds to go to palace a lot of money to some.
Also I think it will sell out, why cos i know a couple of blues who are buying their tickets who have no intention of going but hoping to sell them on , but not bothered if they do, so I think it will sell out but could be a few empty seats .

May as well spend money at the Megastore while you're at it and get a rag shirt with your name on. True blues don't give them a penny.
The utter humiliation of the 1-6 was worth every penny
