Community Shield - 2024/25 | 10 Aug Sat 3pm

They never allow print at home until the Monday before the final and then you have to phone up to request it. CTID

I know, I've had print at home for the last 3 finals.
My point is city have told me that they will not be doing it at all from now on. Never. No exceptions. No print at homes, not Wembley, not etihad, nothing.
Despite having a plastic season card and always having print at home for Wembley (and the etihad kids fanzone), they said in a quite blunt unfriendly (with bits clearly copy pasted) email reply to my question that no and that i will have to go to Wembley ticket office on the day. I pointed out that you cannot get thru the extra lines of stewards they now have at the bottom of the steps without showing your ticket so how am I meant to convince the jobsworth to let me thru when I'll be the 1% that won't have ticket in hand. but city didnt reply to that. And don't set me off with their Twitter dm replies I've had, all not answering the how's and why's but just repeating the mantra of no we will not be issuing any print at home anymore you will have to go to Wembley ticket office. Might not sound big deal to you, but as an anxious person it's stressing me out. I have to look smiley and confident as I'll be with my 7 year old and I want him to have the best day, but I was nervy enough last getting thru the new extra security they have at the steps who demand a ticket or you don't get thru - when they first brought the bag size rule in a few years back one of them literally ripped it off me and flung it against that size drawing they have to "prove" it was about a cm too big, and he wouldn't let up, got my mum very upset, so see I stress about getting thru stuff like that, and now I have to explain oh I have to get my ticket.

Boy I've wittered on and on with this!!!!!!! Sorry!!!!! Round and round in the same points!!!

I think ive let it get to me just cos citys reply was blunt and talking as if I was thick and didn't know what I was on about, and it didn't even give info such as what time the bloody Wembley ticket office even opens, and ignored my mentions of what am I meant to do at the etihad now for kids fanzones, tell my 7 year old he can't go cos they won't let me print one?. ahh bugger it I'm going to bed!!!

It was Thatcher along with that other tory **** Evans who was Chairman of Luton whio had banned away fans at the time.

Colin Moynihan as the Minister for Sport in full support.
The dick was at the Soeul Olympics in 1988 when GB won gold at hockey (his favourite sport) and the **** ran on the pitch in celebration at the final whistle. He was lampooned in the song by I Ludicrous called "Moynihan brings out the hooligan in me" with the lines
A man with no stature
A man with no shame
Conspiring with Thatcher
To kill off our game
A law for supporters
A law for the rich
But non for the minister
Who runs on the pitch
Coz Moynihan brings out the hooligan in me......

don't have smart phone due to numbness issues in my hands, have a plastic season card at city due to this. City always do a print at home for wembley, last season's shield and both fa cups.

so I asked for print at home for this and got told b!untly they're not doing print at home at all anymore (so I guess my son now can't get to the kids fanzone anymore) and they just said if no one in my party (me and my 7 year old!) have a phone I'll have to go to wemb!ey.ticket office with photo id. I don't have photo id, and I pointed out in .my reply that you couldn't get thru the large line of stewards at the bottom of the steps up to the ground without showing your ticket. So how am.I supposed to get thth that.I

so my anxiety will be thru the roof. And everyone said not to bother going, my sister my fella, but no I said I always go it'll be great. Yet now I don't even get a ticket. Why.did I bother, I guess I'm not a healthy modern person or someone who spends £200 a trip in the shop every match so I'm disposable.

Who is the rep on City matters that has fans with disabilities as their remit? There may be other fans with similar issues. Refusing to give out paper tickets because they can't be arsed rather than they are simply unable to do so is not very good customer service at all.

Evans was indeed a total, complete and utter Twat.

We managed to get a box on the side at Luton which happened to be next to his.

Ten of Dentons finest on the piss.....what could possibly go wrong ?.

Evans came banging on our door complaining aboot 'boisterous behaviour and farm yard lingo'....he left covered in beer and sandwiches.

We steadied oop cos we thought the law would come, as they did, but we were like God's angels.

They departed saying summat like "Evans is a posh twat, he complains aboot everyone".

City score & its pandemonium....leaning across the outside balcony, banging on the wall etc.

Anyway, Evans and his posh cronies abandon ship " in fear of their safety" ha ha ha.

In we go to their box and nick their food and drink but not before drawing moustaches, beards and Natzi salutes on photos of Thatcher,Evans and others.

I think it was a 2-2 draw.

Just another day at the office !!

The city team leave just landed at Manchester so they got a good week together with the other squad members to get ready for the red mardarses.

They emailed the other week to say it’s vacant and are accepting applications to fill it.

Not as bad but in the 80s I worked in Liverpool for Bedford Trucks and we took a mini bus from work down for Lutons game v Liverpool. Hospitality laid on, the lads on the bus were not devout Liverpool fans more drinkers tbh..

I went in my City jumper and got completely pissed on his free beer, the look on Evans face when I said helloe was a classic as he couldnt do anything about removing me from the area as Vauxhall/Bedford were a main sponsor and we were their guests.

Turd of a man.

Two 'scratch' squads stacked with academy players.

Result will probably depend on who has the best youngsters.....City to win !!

I had a brief spell ( 6 months) as fleet sales representative at one of the Bedford Trucks dealers in Manchester -
Syd Abrams on Waterloo Road,Cheetham Hill ( Jan 1985 - June 1985).
I went on 2 week long courses at a hotel near Luton, 1 course for vans ( light commercials) and 1 course for trucks ( heavy commercials), and visited the van factory at Luton as part of the training process.
