It you managed 10 games a season then that's an extra £3.50, I think my season ticket has gone up more than that per game. If you can't manage £3.50 then honestly its not for you.
The vast majority who watched through the hard times are still there in my opinion, we averaged around 28000 at maine road now get 47000 at Etihad so don't think we rounded up 47000 worth of new support in last 5 or 6 years do you?
Working class people are paying these prices one way or another if you look around the stadium, can't say the ground is full of yuppies.
I've been to about a 1000 games for the record but if I give up my season ticket next season then yes it comes to the time when I fall into the fair weather fan bracket, nothing wrong with it but that's the way it goes.
There might come a time when city price out the working class fan but its not now, think you need to open your eyes and look around.

Pricing about right, makes me laugh all these fans who "cannot make it" the same ones that can make it to Liverpool , united at home and no doubt on the last day of the season to see us win the league.
Don't see why should fans just rock up for the glory games when they can't be arsed for others, a lot of season ticket holders cannot make every game but pay a lot more up front.
Working class people are paying these prices if you look around the stadium its a choice can't say the ground is full of yuppies can you?
Just don't think the club should not especially look after the fair weather fan.
because some supporters have other commitments either financial of otherwise , you will find that your alleged "fair weather" supporters dont have the necessary loyalty points to watch the glamour games ,
season ticket holders pay up front , but get a far better deal than a supporter who can only get to 8 to 10 games a season , and i think your "fair weather" supporter is probably a fan who has watched MY team through the hard times , and the financial structure of the premeir league is now pricing out working class people
But if you want to call me a "fair weather" supporter after 50 years and 800 games , then either your ignorant or stupid , you choose .
