Citys american tour

[BurnCK]

When will premier league teams stop this farce of playing games in america? the yanks just arent interested, how many extra shirts or tickets will we sell because of this tour? and mean while the true fans over hear have to put up with 3 am kick offs of a couple of grand on a trip you might end up seing the reserves play

It's only pre-season.....I'm not all that bothered.

We get 38 games plus European and cup games, I don't see the problem with a few preseason friendlies in America. Games which don't really matter. Leave them be.

Some of the replies on this thread and others from "hardcore supporters" really have me worried of just how clueless some of them are. Like it or not the "day trippers" "glory hunters" or what ever the hell you wanna call them are the fans the club needs to attract. They when they come spend big money during their visit buying merchandise paying full ticket price of what for an average £36? that alone is probably more than a seasoncard holder spends on a match as a whole. As a seasoncard holder it works out at £21 a game for me add on the programme beer and a soft drink I spend approx £30 a game.

The best way to attract more people to come over...do exactly what the club are doing go to places like the USA etc. Like it or not for the club to move on and be the force in the Premier League and Europe we need to expand the name of Manchester City Fc. I find these "where were you when we were shit" or name a player City had on loan in the late 80's (when asked I always seem to answer Barry Siddall) questions stupid and ill thought out Unless the club does exactly what they are doing the likes of Tevez Silva Yaya etc..would have to be sold as there is no way we could meet the UEFA financial regulations and we would be back to the days where the big summer signing was Bernardo Corradi.

The club do keep coming up with good ideas like the lad dad and shirt offer last season to attract locals but even that got moans on here. It is reality check time it is simply the way it has to be like it or not.

Well said Bald Boy. Just to correct an earlier post on this thread the Mad Hatter will NOT be running Shuttle busses to the ground. City are laying on 3 busses one way from the Hat to the path train station for Friday nights game (More for a Photo op value than anything else) And the Hatter will be running 2 busses On the Sunday for locals. Of course any available seats will be offered to as Many visitors as we can get on, but Space will be LIMITED. The trip from Manhattan to the Stadium is short and relatively easy and will be posting Train info on the The Blue Moon over the Saloon site in the next few days.

I would love the chance to go see city in the states, if it wasnt for the fact it would prob cost more than my season ticket to get there i'd be there. The chance to meet blues in the states and see us play in the huge stadiums and have a beer in a blue pub in NY to me would be amazing TBH. I think people should be glad we got fans in far off countrys spread the word i say...

And its great to hear other Blues think so, I know its only a drop in the bucket Pud, but if you do manage to get over here your tickets to the NY games are on me mate.

Tell u what mate if i had the cash i'd take u up on that..Its a shame city dont do some sort of discount package for a large number of fans to go. To many people to busy moaning about it rather than putting there collective powers into play..
