Does anyone else feel like this?

This is the main point. It’s the club who are to blame. All they care about is making money. It’s not the tourists fault at all.

100%. Whilst queuing to get into the ground at the CL semi I witnessed a family of Real Madrid fans being escorted out of the home end by stewards. They seemed really confused as to why this was happening. They were obviously there just to watch the match and not cause trouble. Disgrace really.

No chance in any great numbers. Of course you’re going to get the odd one, but the vast majority of the few hundred blues who got tickets today through points are diehards who’ve been going for decades.

No way they’re selling them on in any great numbers.

So what is happening ? Club selling them? staff selling them? Supporters clubs? Someone is.

I would rather habe the tourists than the mongey kids on charlie thinking there hard.

It’s the tourists doing charlie that really get on my tits.

how do you know they’re not season ticket holders? Oh - it’s because they’re Chinese?
Under 4s are free

Only free if they sit on someone’s knee. She wasn’t under 4 anyway. They were tourists like the rest of the people around us who filmed most of the game and didn’t celebrate either goal

I feel exactly the same.
This is definitely my last season

I had to stop going to the game because of ill health at the age of 69.

I miss it so much. Every game I wish I was in my seat in 121.

Keep going while you can.

Used to go to a minimum of a dozen home games a season and a couple of away games ,but now i only do the Saturday 3pm kick offs at home and watch the rest of the games on telly , last couple of times i have been in the South Stand have been amongst season card holders who show little interest in the game and just chat amongst themselves really dont know why they bother turning up , force of habit ?

Then there are the tourists half and half scarf holding their latest City purhase in their carrier bags , but it isnt just our club , look at the front row of Klanfield today and it was full of Chinese , Asian fans with beaming smiles despite the fact they were getting beat. Really glad i am not starting out watching football now , because i doubt i would bother watching the plastic razzamatazz of the Premier league would rather watch grass roots football in the lower divisions or non-league.

Sincerely think i have seen the best years of football before the Premier league , local support , good craic and a sense of belonging to a club , we are now just customers where some pencil neck accountant works out potential spend per head of fans on a match day ,i will always be a blue and root for my team but i dont feel a part of the football club anymore.
