Precisely we should show our owners we are the best fans in the world without them these Wembley trips would be a pipe dream

I think it also helps a bit when we are trying to negotiate improved sponsorships deals (eg the kit deal) when we have big followings and sponsors can see we are getting even stronger. (Not everyone can afford to go of course).
 
Apart from the players from the teams who went all the way, when do the rest of the players from Brazil, Spain, Argentina etc return? And will they be involved or will it be a similar side to the one which played last night do we think?

Understand that Tim but surely 29,000 of us blues could afford a trip to Wembley

A lot of people go on holiday in early August every year.

Payday is not until next week for many.

Some people don’t agree with the Community Shield being at Wembley.

SC prices have just gone up again - every time that happens it alienates some fans from the club each time and they decide “they aren’t getting anything else from me but my SC money” and they pull out of cup schemes and stop going to away games and games like this (that’s what 47% increases in SC prices in six years does to fans). Some even have to give up their seasoncard as they are priced out, and that’s soul destroying for some fans.

City spend too little time concentrating on local fans and don’t get into lapsed fans who’ve dropped away through disillusionment from the Pearce years or through being priced it over the years. They’re too obsessed with that Irish travel company who ship over Rags and Scousers to sit in the home stands at the Etihad or Tunnel Club and Platinum Boxes and getting fanboys from some backwater town in the US or a place we’ve never heard of in the Philippines who are never going to turn up to a game. I work at a school in Wythenshawe and haven’t seen anyone with a City badge walk through our door for about eight years but they love some no mark from Nigeria or South Korea posting about us on social media.

Also away game travellers are getting fewer and fewer the more the club give of our away allocations to corporates (did someone say 1/5 for most games 1/4 for some games of our away allocations are given to corporates now?) The ones who get tickets from their points are the same old faces every game. What that does is gets people used to not going to games away from the Etihad. The club don’t care about the fans who are in 2500-5000th place in the Loyalty Points scheme (who can hardly ever get away tickets anymore) and this is where it bites the club on the arse as fans just don’t bother anymore and find other things to spend their money on. Will all the corporate nobodies (many of which for away games over the last three years haven’t been City fans and some have been fans of the home club we’re playing against) who get tickets in our away ends up and down the country be turning up to Wembley in August? I bet the row of Liverpool fans in our away end at Anfield or the chunk of Arsenal fans in our away end at the Emirates or the Dresden fans who were supporting Huddersfield in the away end at Huddersfield wont fucking be there at Wembley next week, but the 600 proper City lads who the club lost by placing greater importance on these fucking nobodies in our away ends, won’t be neither because they’ve become disillusioned!

This all day
 
Club should have put some free transport on for this to get more interested. 100 or so
Coaches would cost what £150,000? Peanuts money for the good publicity it would generate.
