I thought you said in an early post you weren't going due to easy games, you get "so called" free tickets and your interested again, have you ever thought about becoming a journalist.Yeah that’s what I’m talking about, it’s shit isn’t it
Would really piss off the press if we had a 50k+ crowd. Large swathes of seats is when you have tiers not even opened. Must have missed that Guardian report last week. It’s about time City issued an edict to journalists that if they criticise the fans and how we can’t all afford to buy a ticket for every game then for the next 100 games that paper will be charged for their ticket or they are banned from the ground. When will they understand that we aren’t all loaded nor do we claim to have a billion fans.Just in case you haven't got a ticket yet, there's plenty available according to JJ at the guardian......
The challenge of igniting fan interest is reflected in large swaths of tickets still being available for the match against the Croatian champions.
Assuming KDB unavailable
Ederson
Cancelo Garcia Fernandinho Mendy
Gundogan Rodri Silva
Bernardo Aguero Jesus
Bravo Otamendi Walker Zinchenko Foden Sterling Mahrez
Good chance to see Cancelo and Mendy in action, Gundogan and silva in midfield to keep possession (which will be key with that defence). In attack Jesus would go up front next to Sergio with Bernardo tucking into midfield.
Scum were giving out plenty of freebies last week as well so it isn’t something limited to us. Who cares anywayNo idea how many tickets they’ve sold for tonight but it must’ve been minuscule. My sisters school have been given hundreds, I’ve got 3 free ones and they’ve been told they’ll have the same amount each group match. NHS have been given a couple of thousand, TC staff now been given some, and how many other schools?
Thing is, I struggle, really struggle to get “up” for these CL games. Doesn’t feel a conscious decision but I find the competition a bit “meh”. Don’t get me wrong I want to win, I’ll cheer and shout etc but genuinely if you ask me do I want a trip to Istanbul in Cl final in May, or Wembley for the Carabao Final in March, then I choose the latter. Don’t know why.
See you guys there tonight
Not sure why you’ve quoted “so called” there mate but yeah, I’m going. I didn’t want to fork for the matches for a competition I’m not really bothered about but sister called to say she had 6 tickets, so me the old man and bro in law decided to go.I thought you said in an early post you weren't going due to easy games, you get "so called" free tickets and your interested again, have you ever thought about becoming a journalist.
Oh no definitely not, everyone gives rockets away - I wasn’t having a go at City. I heard last night that the rags have a scheme that if a rag buys a ticket and can’t make the game, they won’t sell it on they’ll give it to a local school, which I thought was good.Scum were giving out plenty of freebies last week as well so it isn’t something limited to us.

Well that's not the same is it as what your saying City are doing, I work for the NHS I haven't heard anything about 2k+ free tickets for tonite given out, me n my mates had to pay for ours.Oh no definitely not, everyone gives rockets away - I wasn’t having a go at City.

Well I’ve no idea how these tickets have been ‘dished’ out mate, I suppose ~2k tickets don’t go very far in such a vast organisation? My original point was that we mustn’t have sold very many tickets and I haven’t heard how many were to expect tonight, BUT it’ll be bumped up with some freebies, which is a good thing.Well that's not the same is it as what your saying City are doing, I work for the NHS I haven't heard anything about 2k+ free tickets for tonite given out, me n my mates had to pay for ours.

Always makes me smile that free tickets go to groups who probably aren't going to go again but seasoncard holders who have fallen out of love with the CL who if stimulated could start to go again regularly get nothing.No idea how many tickets they’ve sold for tonight but it must’ve been minuscule.

I fall into the SC holder who fell out of love with CL category there pal, so we’ve done 3 free tickets, we’ve got something. It happens a lot.Always makes me smile that free tickets go to groups who probably aren't going to go again but seasoncard holders who have fallen out of love with the CL who if stimulated could start to go again regularly get nothing.

I binned the CL off years ago, used to do home/away,club go on about 'matchday experiance', big group (10) CSKA fans sat behind me when they were banned, zero atmos, bent as fuck....TBH I'm not even sure I'd go on a freebie, there were a couple available on here yesterday & I didn't consider PMing.I fall into the SC holder who fell out of love with CL category there pal, so we’ve done 3 free tickets, we’ve got something.

I’m with ya bud.

Love my club but CL just No.
Happy days, my only thing was we won’t really know what we’ve sold as the tickets they give away will be removed on the plannerLooks like 50,000 shifted according to the planner so even if we've given a couple of thousand or so away we've still sold a decent number.
